How can I make each cell array consistent in length?

In a cell array each element is 1Xlength. This length is not equal. I want to get the maximum length and then want to make each cell with same length by padding zeros in it.

A final attempt to answer this question :-)
C = {1:4 1:2 ; 1:5 1:6 ; 1 1:3} % a m-by-n cell array
N = cellfun(@numel, C) % old lengths of cell elements
M = 3 ; % new length should be multiple of M
newN = M * ceil(N / M) % new lengths of cell elements
padfun = @(k) [C{k} zeros(1, newN(k) - N(k))] ;
C2 = arrayfun(padfun, 1:numel(C) , 'un', 0) ; % apply padding to all elements of C
C2 = reshape(C2, size(C)) % reshape (if needed)

After you calculated the new N you can use this:
tf = ~(N < M) % true for the large cells
newN(tf) = N(tf) % reset to the old lengths

%set up a dummy example
tst = {[1 1], [1 1 1 1 1], [1 1 1], [1]}
%get the maximum length
maxlen = max(cellfun(@length, tst))
%pad zeros
tstPadded = cellfun(@(x)([x zeros(1, maxlen - length(x))]), tst, 'UniformOutput', false)

I dont want maxlength . I am making each cell a multiple of 32 . so i just want to add the extra places by zeros. maxlength will only find out maximum length among all.

Your question reads otherwise ... " I want to get the maximum length and then want to make each cell with same length by padding zeros in it.

If you make them the same length, you can also store them in a matrix. In that case, my PADCAT function is your friend :-)
C = {[1 2] ; 1 ; [1 2 3]}
[M, tf] = padcat(C{:}) % pads with NaNs
M(~tf) = 0
PADCAT can be found on the File Exchange, for free:

My mistake, should be square brackets of course ... (I edited my answer).
(assuming you also downloaded and installed the function)

Jos (10584):
by using padcat I am getting a matrix where all coloumns are merged. That I dont want. I want to keep each cell as it is, just want want to add extra zeros. Like , first cell is 1X16, second is 1X31 and so on. I want to work on each indivisually. By adding extra zeros the first cell will be suppose 1X32 and so on. Remember I am dealing with mXn cell array.

C = {1:3 4 ; 5:9 10:12 ; 13:14 15} % a m-by-n cell array
N = cellfun(@numel, C)
maxN = max(N(:))
padfun = @(v) [v zeros(1, maxN - numel(v))] ;
C2 = cellfun(padfun, C , 'un', 0)

I do not get this error in the above code for a cell array like this
C = {[1 0 0 1], [0 1] ; [1 0 1 0], [0 0 1]}
You should give more details about the error and the input ...

A=cell(numImages,8);
B{k,j}=profile;
A=B;
len = cellfun(@length, B);
len1 = 32 * ceil(len/32);
width_needed=cell(numImages,8);
width_needed=len1-len;
I am making each cell a multiple of 32. Now my task is to pad extra zero after the multiplication. And I want to keep them as cell format , no merging will be done. Here the profile is varying in length. Basically it consists of consequtives 0's and 1's. I am attaching few pictures here too.
