Image Extender
The Image Extender tool allows you to extend your image beyond its original boundaries using intelligent AI outpainting or clean canvas expansion. Expand photos in any direction, fill empty areas naturally, and create wider, taller, or more flexible compositions — perfect for designers, photographers, social media creators, and eCommerce product displays.
What Is Image Extension?
Image extension (or outpainting) expands the image by adding new areas outside its original frame. Depending on your chosen mode, the tool can either:
- AI-Extend: Automatically generate realistic surroundings that match the image.
- Canvas-Extend: Add blank, colored, or transparent space.
This gives you creative freedom to reshape your visuals without stretching or distorting content.
Why Use an Image Extender?
- Fix aspect ratios: Convert images into 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, or 16:9 formats.
- Create banner space: Add room for text, branding, or promotions.
- Improve composition: Add breathing room around the subject.
- AI Outpainting: Expand photos realistically beyond the edges.
- Background balancing: Make objects appear centered and more aesthetic.
- Prepare for cropping: Extend before cropping to avoid cutting important elements.
