Windows 10: Resize Image to square with padding

I'm a Photoshop user and can easily maintain the aspect ratio of an image when making a vertical rectangular image into a square. The image is padded with white space on the right and left sides. I do this by defining the canvas. Aspect ratio is maintained but image is now square. Can I do this in Microsoft Photos?

Hi Ritika, there is a small free app available on the Microsoft Store called Resize image. It is a quick and easy way to resize your images.

With that app, all you have to do is right click an image file and choose Resize Image . . .
