[Feature]: Customizable export padding

[dimateos]

What's the feature?

I feel like the padding should be customizable or maybe a simple toggle. It is added even when the export is set as transparent leading to bigger images than expected.

For reference, here is an issue in excalidraw for more context and rationale https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw/issues/6276

Best regards!

TLD-2564 [Feature]: Customizable export padding

[SomeHats]

if you're exporting a single frame shape, there's no padding. try adding your content to a frame shape and setting the padding how you like before export

Thanks for the tip! seems good enough for multi-image compositions.

But I was looking for quick rasterized image copy-pasting between apps, so having to do intermediate steps would defeat the purpose (I could also crop the image within office word etc)

We have defaultSvgPadding option on the TldrawOptions.

Think that's just what you need (it applies both to svg as well as png exports)?

[dimateos]

Yep that looks like it thanks!

Although, I was looking to be able edit it among other preferences in the base web app tldraw.com It could be a simple toggle like the others prefs and set the that value under the hood (0 / default value), or regular input widget.

We won't be adding this to tldraw.com anytime soon but, as @MitjaBezensek explained, you can tweak it in remixed tldraw instances!
