Vimeo api image thumbnails ?r=pad

When I retrieve image thumbnails from Vimeo using their api they are have '?r=pad' appended to their url like this:

https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/33677886_100x75.jpg?r=pad

And this causes black bars to appear around image. If you remove r=pad, then image size look fine:

https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/33677886_100x75.jpg

I dont know why this happens. I found a thread here which mentions the same thing: https://vimeo.com/forums/help/topic:279392

You can test this in api playground:

https://developer.vimeo.com/api/playground/videos/167666816

I cant find anything in vimeo documentation about this and why this happens?

Pad should only add bars if the image dimensions do not match the video dimensions.

Without the pad you will lose parts of the original video frame.
