How to Expand an Image with AI

AI outpainting extends the scene outside the original borders. Keep the subject intact while creating a wider banner, taller post, or room for layout copy.

  1. 01

    Upload a clear source image

    Add one JPG, PNG, or WebP. A clear subject and a well-exposed image give the model more useful detail to work with.

  2. 02

    Choose the new aspect ratio

    Select square, landscape, portrait, widescreen, or vertical framing. The original stays anchored while AI creates the missing surrounding scene.

  3. 03

    Run the tool and download

    Start the edit, compare the before and after, then download the finished image or find it later in My Creations.

Choose the workflow for your task

Choose expansion when you need another aspect ratio or space around the subject for a layout. The model can reinterpret parts of the source, so compare the edges and important details. Use upscaling for a larger version of the existing frame, or image-to-image for a different scene.

Choose the model after the task. Reference limits and output settings vary, and each new request uses the credits shown in the editor. The model guide and pricing page explain those choices.

Image expander FAQ

Answers about AI outpainting, aspect ratios, cropping, image quality, good source images, cost, and private storage.

  1. Does it stretch or crop my image?

    The model generates a wider view around your subject. It can resize or reinterpret parts of the original scene; it does not guarantee that the original pixels remain unchanged.

  2. Which aspect ratios can I create?

    Choose 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, or 9:16. Pick the format you need before running the tool.

  3. What does one expansion cost?

    Credits depend on the selected model, output size and reference image. Review the displayed request total. Credits are reserved at submission; confirmed failures return them.

  4. What happens to the image I upload?

    Uploads and results are saved to your creation library and are not added to a public gallery. Anyone with an image link may be able to view it.

  5. What is AI outpainting?

    Outpainting is the process of generating new visual content beyond an image's existing edges. The model continues the background, lighting, perspective, and textures into a larger canvas.

  6. Which source images expand best?

    Images with a clear subject, consistent background, and visible lighting direction are easiest to continue. Complex repeated patterns and heavily cropped faces may need another pass.

Expand an Image beyond the Original Frame

Upload a square, portrait, or landscape image and extend it into the aspect ratio your banner, post, presentation, or product page needs.
