Answer 1

  has_attached_file :image, :styles => { :thumb => "100x100>" }, 
    :convert_options => {:thumb => "-gravity center -extent 100x100"}

Or with not white background

  has_attached_file :image, :styles => { :thumb => "100x100>" }, 
    :convert_options => {:thumb => "-background red -gravity center -extent 100x100"}
