Tell it what to add

Optionally describe the new area, like "more sandy beach and sea". Leave it empty and the AI continues the scene on its own.

Your original stays untouched

Only the new space is generated. The photo you uploaded sits in the middle exactly as it was.

What is AI image expansion?

Image expansion, also called outpainting, adds new pixels around the edges of a photo. The AI studies the scene and continues it: more sky, more floor, more background, matching the light and perspective.

Use it to change a photo’s shape for banners, social posts and phone wallpapers without cropping anything out.

Questions

Yes. There is no sign-up, no subscription and no watermark on your download.

Each side can grow by up to 100% of the photo’s size. Smaller expansions look the most natural.

No. Without one, the AI continues what’s already in the photo. A short description helps when you want something specific.

Expansion works on photos up to 5 MB and 4096 pixels. Use the compressor first if your file is larger.
