Image Expand

Extend any image beyond its edges — expand up, down, left, or right and the AI fills in the new area to match the original scene seamlessly
Image Expand adds more space to any image by generating new content beyond the original edges. Choose how far to extend in each direction — up, down, left, right — and the AI analyzes the existing scene to fill in what should naturally be there. Colors, lighting, perspective, and textures all continue seamlessly into the expanded area.

This solves a problem every content creator faces: an image that is too tight. A portrait cropped at the shoulders that needs to show the full upper body. A landscape that needs more sky for a text overlay. A square photo that needs to become a wide banner. Instead of reshooting or starting over, you expand what you already have.

You can also guide the expansion with a prompt — describe what you want to appear in the new space. Tell the AI to extend into a forest, add more ocean, or continue a cityscape, and it follows your direction while keeping everything visually consistent with the original.

Supports batch generation of up to 9 variations per expansion, so you can pick the version where the AI continuation looks most natural.
✦ Best Results Tips
📏 Expand Gradually
Moderate expansion amounts produce the most coherent results. Extending a little in each direction looks natural — extreme expansion in one direction can stretch the AI beyond what it can realistically fill.
🖼️ Start with a High-Quality Image
The AI matches the quality of the original. A sharp, well-lit source image produces sharp, well-lit expansion. A low-resolution source gives blurry new content.
📝 Guide with a Prompt
Use the prompt field to describe what should appear in the expanded area. The AI can extend a beach, add a mountain range, or continue an interior — but it helps to tell it what you want.
↔️ Reformat for Any Platform
Use expansion to adapt one image to different aspect ratios. Extend a square photo sideways for a YouTube thumbnail, or add space above and below for a phone wallpaper.
⚖️ Keep Total Area Under 3x
The total expanded image cannot exceed 3 times the area of the original. Plan your expansion amounts with this limit in mind — spread the expansion across multiple directions rather than maxing out one side.
🔄 Generate Multiple Versions
The AI fills expanded areas differently each time. Generate several variations and pick the one where the new content blends most naturally with the original.
