How about to make an option to allow for a border be outer (enlarging width and height of the gif) instead of inner space?

Because, for example, I want to make a border 10 pixels wide on every side... and it covers gif so bad.

@vatterspun commented on GitHub (Apr 12, 2018):

I think the steps here for a two-pixel border are:

1. Change the size of the image by one of the following:

   • Expanding the current GIF size OR
   • Create a new GIF canvas that's +2 pixels wide and +2 pixels high and then center the old animation in the new frame

2. Add a border as before.

---

It should be noted that this is probably something you'd want to be optional as I can see expanding the size of the overall animation as a bad thing when trying to keep file size low. Either way, good feature suggestion.

Done! It will be available with the next version (v2.19), in a few days.
You can simply put negative values to expand the border outwards.

NOTE: When expanding the frame size, the border will be applied to all frames, since the project must have a constant frame size.

By the way, you'll be able to add border as a task:
