Canvas modes

Choose the canvas mode that fits the job

Original Ratio keeps the source shape. Custom Ratio uses a fixed output canvas preset. In both modes, you drag the image into place before AI fills the new space.

Original Ratio

Expand the source canvas with a simple slider while keeping the original image ratio.

Custom Ratio example showing one portrait reframed for square and landscape layouts.

Custom Ratio

Pick a fixed canvas preset, then reposition the image so AI fills the area you need.

How it works

Quality guidance

Give AI enough context to expand cleanly

AI extension works best when the new canvas area is reasonable for the image. Keep visible edge detail, anchor the subject, and use smaller passes for large one-side expansions.

Anchor the subject Expand in context
Motorcycle image example with clear side expansion handles.
01

Clear expansion direction

Leave visible edge context so the new canvas has useful detail to continue.

Portrait image example with balanced extension space on both sides.
02

Enough scene context

Keep the subject anchored and expand around the surrounding background.

Use cases

Fix tight crops, social layouts, and wide scenes

Extend portraits with more background, reframe artwork for a wider layout, or create extra side space for social posts, thumbnails, and banners.

Group photo reframed with additional canvas space.

Group photos

Give family and group shots more room without stretching the people in the frame.

Fantasy landscape artwork expanded into a wider composition.

Artwork backgrounds

Extend illustrated scenes and landscape-style artwork into wider compositions.

Anime-style illustration expanded into a wider scene.

Illustrations

Reframe character art and illustrations while keeping the central subject intact.

Cyberpunk street scene expanded into a wider cinematic frame.

Cinematic scenes

Create more surrounding atmosphere for dramatic visuals and social crops.

Street portrait expanded with extra side canvas.

Street portraits

Add side space around portraits for editorial layouts, thumbnails, or text.

Canyon landscape extended into a wide banner composition.

Landscape banners

Turn scenic images into wider banner-ready compositions with more horizon room.

AI outpainting

Expand the scene without stretching the image

Resizing scales every pixel. AI outpainting keeps the original image anchored, opens new canvas around it, and fills that empty area with matching surrounding content.

Resizing

Stretches what is already there

The whole image changes scale, so the subject and background can feel cropped, squeezed, or less natural.

  • Subject scale changes
  • Edges can feel forced
  • No new scene detail
AI outpainting

Adds new space around the frame

The source stays anchored while AI creates matching surrounding content in the expanded canvas.

  • Original subject stays intact
  • Canvas grows before generation
  • New area is AI-filled

01

Choose the new frame

Pick the canvas size or ratio before generating.

02

Keep the source anchored

Move the image so empty space appears where it is needed.

03

Fill the missing area

AI completes the surrounding content instead of scaling pixels.

Common formats

JPG, PNG, WEBP

Upload regular browser image files and keep the workflow simple.

Export

HD output

Download the expanded image when the generated result is ready.

Promptless

No prompt needed

The canvas position tells AI where new image content should appear.

FAQ

Questions about AI image extension

What is an AI image extender?

An AI image extender expands the canvas around an image and uses AI to fill the new empty area. It helps fix tight crops, add background space, or reframe an image for a different layout.

What is Original Ratio mode?

Original Ratio keeps the source image shape while expanding the canvas around it. You can adjust the canvas and drag the image to decide where the new space should appear.

What is Custom Ratio mode?

Custom Ratio uses a fixed output canvas preset, such as square, portrait, landscape, or a social-style layout. You place your image inside that canvas before generating the expanded area.

How do I expand only one side?

Choose a canvas mode, then move the image inside the canvas so the empty area appears on the side you want to extend. For large one-side changes, smaller repeated expansions usually give AI more useful context.

Do I need a prompt?

No. You can upload the image, choose the canvas mode, position the image, and generate the result without writing a prompt.

How can I get cleaner expansions?

Keep the new canvas area moderate, give the tool enough surrounding image context, and try again if the result looks unclear or adds unwanted objects.

Is it free and watermark-free?

Yes. You can use the AI Image Extender for free, with no login required and no watermark on the downloaded result.

Are images saved or public?

No. Images are not saved, not made public, automatically deleted, and processed in local memory.

Can I use the output commercially?

Yes. Commercial use is allowed for the output.

What if the result looks unclear or adds unwanted objects?

Try generating again, or use a smaller expansion before extending more. AI results can vary, especially when the canvas jump is very large or the source image gives limited context.
