AI Image Extender — Expand Photos Beyond Every Edge

Upload an image to extend

Generated edges can vary; review repeating patterns, faces, text, and architecture

Extend a photo left, right, up, or down without stretching or cropping it. New pixels follow the original scene while the prepared source frame is copied exactly into the larger canvas.

  • Square, portrait, story, and widescreen output
  • Prepared source frame copied exactly after generation
  • Optional direction for scenery, lighting, and composition

Choose the photo you want to expand

JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and other supported formats. Free up to 20 MB; Premium and higher up to 50 MB for this tool.

Finishing an extended photo

Once the canvas is wide enough, turn it into a 1280×720 thumbnail with a bold headline; if a crop would do instead, reframe with sliders for position.

Anything odd that appears in the new edges can be erased by describing it.
