How to add padding when using imagemagick to convert an EPS into a PNG?

Question

I want to do something like:

convert logo.eps -size 128x128 logo.png

But want the actual logo to be 96x96px, centered, surrounded by a transparent background to reach 128x128 pixels.

Not a programming question; fits better on e.g. Super User. – Jonik Aug 21 '14 at 14:21 — Jonik, Aug 21 '14 at 14:21

It works, thanks. Do you know how to keep the background to be transparent inside the inner image 96x96? Currently the image background is white. I would also like to change the color and alpha of the image to #99333333 value to achieve Android Holo Light icon recommendation: http://developer.android.com/design/style/iconography.html. Do you know how to achieve that? Thanks. – petrsyn Mar 21 '14 at 01:02

@petrsyn I found using `-background none` (instead of `-background transparent`) *before* the input file name did the trick. – chris Dec 31 '15 at 09:31
