One photograph rarely fits a feed post, a Story and a thumbnail. Expand it into each shape instead of cropping three times and losing the subject.
Free AI outpainting
AI Image Extender: expand any photo past its edges
Upload a picture, choose the shape it has to fit, and AI paints in what was never in the frame — up to 4096px on every side. Nothing is cropped away, and there is nothing to re-shoot.
5 credits
The expanded image opens in a session you can come back to, at the shape you picked.
How it works
Expand an image in three steps
- Step 1
Upload your image
Drop in a JPG, PNG or WebP. The picture you upload stays exactly as it is — everything the AI makes goes around it.
- Step 2
Choose the shape
Pick 16:9, 1:1, 9:16 or 4:3, or zoom out to keep the original proportions and simply stand further back. The preview shows the area that will be filled.
- Step 3
Generate and download
The result opens in a session you can return to, so you can download it, run it again at a different shape, or carry it into the workflow editor.
Before and after
A square photo, widened to 16:9
1024 × 1024 out to 1820 × 1024 — 398px added on each side, which is exactly what choosing 16:9 asks for. 
The catalogue case: a square product shot widened into a banner. The plinth edge and the backdrop gradient carry on across the join. A tight portrait given the width for a headline. The wall keeps its mottling and the light keeps falling the same way across the join.
What it is for
When a picture has to fit somewhere else
Product listings
Marketplaces want a specific ratio and a margin around the product. Widen a tight studio shot rather than re-shooting it on a bigger sweep.
Banners and hero images
A wide site header out of a photo that was never wide. The subject stays where it is and the scene continues past the old edges.
Room for type
Posters, covers and cards need empty space a photographer did not leave. Extend the background and put the headline in it.
What outpainting does
It grows the picture, it does not stretch it
Only ever adds
Reaching a new ratio by cropping would throw away part of the picture. This does the opposite: the original stays untouched at its full size, and the shorter side is padded until the frame is the shape you asked for.
Continues the scene
The model reads the lighting, texture and perspective at the edge and carries them outward, so the new area belongs to the same photograph rather than sitting beside it.
Up to 4096px per side
That is the ceiling on each of the four sides, so a picture can grow by more than its own width in a single run. Very large expansions are also where a model has the least to work from, so several smaller steps often read better than one enormous one.

Questions
AI image extender FAQ
It is a tool that generates new picture outside the edges of an existing photo — often called outpainting or uncropping. Instead of cutting the image down to a new shape, it invents the part of the scene that was never in the frame, matching what is already there.

Need more than a bigger frame?
This page runs one fixed step. Open the workflow editor to chain an expansion into an upscale, a background removal or a generated backdrop — or to run a batch of images through the same graph.
