THREE SIMPLE STEPS

From tight crop to the right fit.

Upload your image

Upload a supported JPG, PNG or WebP, or explore a sample. Start with a local preview of your image and canvas.

Make some room

Choose a ratio, adjust the canvas and position your photo. Check any cropped areas and review the credit quote before generating.

Review & export

Compare the result with your starting image. Inspect the subject and generated edges, then download PNG or JPG.

ROOM TO CREATE. REASONS TO REVIEW.

More scene.
Same starting point.

Your photo is the starting point.

Original-area protection depends on the processing mode shown in the workspace. Some modes may change details inside your photo. Keep the full image inside the canvas to avoid cropping, and compare the saved result with your separately retained upload.

The surroundings are a new interpretation.

AI invents what is outside the frame. Check seams, people, text and buildings. Generated surroundings are not evidence of the real scene.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Room for questions.

What does Image Extender do?

AI Image Extender generates new surroundings beyond a photo’s frame, a process called AI outpainting. Use it to extend backgrounds or uncrop photos for a different composition. The added scene is an AI interpretation, not a recovery of what was actually outside the camera’s view. Review the result before using it.

Will my original photo change?

That depends on the processing mode. Some modes generate a result without copying the original pixels back, so faces, text and other details may change. Protected modes verify the normalized source area in the saved PNG. Custom canvas adjustments can also crop your photo. Check the workspace’s protection notice and compare with your separately retained upload.

Which canvas sizes can I choose?

Choose 1:1, 4:5, 3:2, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16 or a custom canvas. The canvas is limited to 4 MP, 4096 pixels per side and three times the submitted source area; the selected model may impose stricter limits. Review the dimensions and any cropped area before requesting a quote.

Can I extend only one side of an image?

Yes. Position your photo against a canvas edge or adjust individual canvas edges to leave new space on the side you want to extend. Keep the whole photo inside the canvas if you do not want to crop it. Review the layout before generating, then inspect the join between existing and generated areas.

How is image extending different from upscaling?

Extending creates new scene content outside the existing frame to change the composition. AI Image Upscaler primarily increases the dimensions of the picture you already have. Choose extending for more background or layout space; choose upscaling when you want the existing composition at a larger resolution.

When are credits used?

Local layout previews do not run AI or use credits. Sign in to request a processing quote and review the required credits before confirming. Credits are reserved for the task and charged after successful validation and saving. A confirmed failure releases the reservation. A different layout or another generation requires a new quote.

Should I download PNG or JPG?

PNG preserves the pixels of the saved result. JPG uses lossy compression and may change pixels, including those in the original area, but can be smaller. Neither format guarantees that AI left the original content unchanged. Downloading the same saved result again or switching format does not run AI or use additional credits.

Can I enhance or upscale the result?

Yes. Open a successful saved result in AI Photo Enhancer for detail and clarity, or AI Image Upscaler for larger dimensions. Each is a separate processing task with its own quote. Enhancement may reinterpret details, and each saved version remains separate so you can review the changes.
