Expand an image with AI (outpainting)
Extend a photo beyond its original edges — the tool generates more scene that matches the lighting, style and content.
Sometimes a photo is cropped too tight, or you need more room around the subject for text, a different aspect ratio, or a banner.
The Expand Image tool generates new pixels beyond the original frame, continuing the background, lighting and texture so the addition is indistinguishable from the real photo.
Use it to turn a portrait crop into a landscape banner, add headroom for a headline, or rescue a shot framed too tightly.
The tool for this
🔲Expand Image
Extend a photo to any aspect ratio — the AI paints natural surroundings to fit 1:1, 16:9, 9:16 or 4:5.
