How it works
How to expand an image with AI
- 01
Upload the image
Add the photo or artwork you want to make bigger. A clear, well-lit picture gives the AI the most to work with.
- 02
Pick the new aspect ratio
Choose the shape you need, such as 16:9 for a banner or 9:16 for a story. Optionally describe what should appear in the new space.
- 03
Generate and download
The AI keeps your original in the middle and fills the new space around it. Check the result, then download it or keep editing in the free online editor.
Why use an AI image extender
Change the shape of a picture without cropping away what matters.
01
Seamless outpainting
New areas continue the existing scene, so the edges blend in instead of looking pasted on.
02
Common aspect ratios
Go from portrait to landscape, from square to widescreen, or the other way around, by picking a ratio from the list.
03
Matching light and perspective
The model follows the direction of light, the horizon and the lines already in your photo.
04
Your subject stays put
The AI is asked to keep the original picture unchanged in the center while it builds outward.
05
Guide it with words
Add a short note such as more sky, a longer table or extra trees to steer what appears in the new space.
06
Ready for the editor
Open the expanded image in the free online editor to add text, crop precisely or combine it with other layers.
What people expand images for
Social media formats
Reuse one picture as a feed post, a story and a cover by expanding it to each platform's shape.
Room for text
Create calm space around a subject so headlines, prices or captions have somewhere to sit.

Yes. Describe it in the optional text box, for example “continue the forest” or “add a clear blue sky”. Keep it short and consistent with the original scene.
Each run uses credits, shown on the generate button before you start; higher resolutions cost more. The online photo editor itself is free.
Your image is uploaded to our storage and processed by our AI model provider to create the result. Results are saved in My Creations so you can download them later.
