AI Image Extender

Expand an image beyond its borders. Upload a picture, pick the shape you need, and the AI fills in the new space with background that matches your photo - the original stays exactly as it is.

AI Image Extender

Sometimes a picture is the wrong shape. A portrait photo has to fill a wide website banner, a square product shot needs to become a vertical story, or a close crop cut off the scenery you wanted to keep. Stretching the image distorts it, and cropping it loses even more. An AI image extender solves this the other way round: it keeps your picture untouched and paints new image around it. You upload a photo and choose the shape you need, and the AI studies the scene - the lighting, the perspective, the textures, where the grass, sky, wall or floor is going - and continues it past the original edges until the canvas reaches the new shape. This is also called outpainting or uncropping. The original picture stays in the middle, pixel for pixel, at its full resolution, so faces, products and text in your photo are not redrawn. People use it to turn one photo into every format a campaign needs, to give a subject more breathing room, to make wallpapers from a favorite shot, and to fix photos that were framed too tightly. There is no prompt to write and nothing to mask: pick a shape and the image expander does the rest.

Frequently asked questions

How do I extend an image with AI?

Upload the image, pick the shape you want, and click the button. The AI keeps your picture and generates matching background around it until it fills the new shape.

Is this AI image extender free?

There is a free tier and no credit card is needed to try it. Each extended image costs 4 credits.

Will my original picture change?

No. The original stays in the center of the result exactly as you uploaded it. Only the added area is generated.

What is the difference between extending, outpainting and uncropping?

They are names for the same thing: generating new image outside the borders of a picture so it becomes wider or taller.

Can I change a portrait photo into a landscape one?

Yes. Choose 16:9, 3:2 or 4:3 and the AI adds scenery on the left and right. To go from landscape to portrait, choose 9:16, 2:3 or 3:4.

Does it lower the quality of my photo?

No. The original keeps its resolution and the canvas grows around it, so the result is larger than the image you uploaded.

Do I need to write a prompt?

No. The AI reads the scene from your picture and continues it.

Can I extend only one side?

The new space is added on both sides. Crop your photo first so the subject is off-center, then extend it.

What image formats are supported?

JPG, PNG and WebP. The result is a PNG.

Can I extend an image more than once?

Yes. Download the result and upload it again with another shape to keep expanding the scene.

Good to know

The picture stays in the middle — New space is added evenly on both sides. To extend one side only, crop the original first so the subject sits where you want it.

Pick a different shape — If your image already has the shape you choose, there is nothing to add. Choose a wider or taller shape than the original.

The new area is invented — The AI continues the scene in a plausible way; it cannot know what was really outside the frame. If a side looks off, try a less extreme shape.

Cut-off subjects are hard — A person or object that is cut by the edge of the photo may be completed in an unexpected way. Photos with background at the edges extend best.
