How can I fillexpand the textureborders of a leafexture edge outwards like thisan offset?

Leaf Example

So, I want to make my own leaf textures for trees, but if I just make a PNG with transparent background it gets a weird white edge. So I found that usually they use this effect with an alpha mask to get rid of that issue. I remember watching a tutorial on how could I do it time ago, but i don't remember the technique, the name of it neither the tutorial name.

Any ideas?

(Actually, I found other ways to fix the issue, but I want to be able to use this)

Edit: First of all, thanks for your answers, very useful, but doing some more investigation I found the name of the technique and many ways to do it. Actually, the technique is called "Edge Padding" or even "Edge dilate". It creates an offset of the border of the image and expands the pixels outwards creating a "frame" around it.
