Is it possible to add a margin to images in Writer?

Just as the title says. I really want to like LibreOffice, but man… some simple things are so hard to do.

You can set up a white border to the image, so you can set up a spacing to content in the same tab.

Hi

Right click the image►Format ImageWrap tab►Spacing

There is no “format image” menu line when I right-click an image I’ve inserted into LibreOffice Writer!!

This should read 1. right-click the image 2. click “format” on the top command line 3. chose/click “properties” 4. chose the margin you want. The above answer is misleading.

Update to Pierre-Yves’ answer:

Right-click the image ► select Properties ► select Wrap tab ► adjust Spacing as needed.

RIght-click image > Picture > Borders …, and add a border of whatever colour or thickness required.

IrfanView allows you to add bespoke borders to images.

This setting (Borders tab) in image properties dialogue squeezes the image smaller to add a border within the image dimensions and can distort the image proportions.

The settings Spacing in the Wrap tab keeps the text away from the image without changing the image.
