AI ReShot

Almost always one of three things. The file is over the 20 MB free upload limit — Premium takes 50 MB and Pro 120 MB. The format is not one this tool accepts, so check the list shown on the upload panel. Or the file is not really the format its name says: renaming a file does not change what is inside it, and that is the reason a valid-looking image gets refused.

Yes — the default look is deliberately obvious so you can see what the tool does, and most photos read better well below it. If the page has a strength or intensity slider, bring it down until the effect looks like a decision rather than a filter; if it has only style choices or an instruction box, pick a milder style or ask for a subtler look and generate again. Compare against your original before you download.

AI ReShot supports free standard use within the published processing allowances. Free downloads are clean — no watermark. No signup is required for standard tool use. Photo effects and AI edits have a web-size limit on Free, with the original-resolution result available through Premium or one credit. Crop, resize, rotate, compress and convert stay full size. Published processing allowances and file limits still apply.

No — AI ReShot runs in the browser on desktop and phone. There is nothing to install, no trial to start, and no license to buy before you can see whether it does what you need. Try it on the file you are actually stuck with rather than a sample.

Choose a ratio in AI ReShot and decide how to reach it. Crop cuts the photo to the new shape, and Expand generates extra surroundings so the whole picture fits. Neither stretches the image, because the original pixels keep their proportions.

Its Crop mode is a plain crop with ratio presets and position sliders. The difference is Expand, which grows the canvas with generated scenery instead of removing parts of the picture, so one tool covers both ways of reaching a new ratio.

AI ReShot offers 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 16:9 and 9:16. For another ratio or a custom crop, use the Image Cropper, and for an exact pixel size, use the Image Resizer.

The frame is the largest area of the chosen ratio that fits in your photo, so you move it with the sliders or by dragging, not resize it. To keep more of the picture inside the frame, switch Framing to Expand.

The original is kept as the base and only the missing surroundings are generated, so check those new edges for faces, text and repeating patterns. Expand has no prompt box, so to steer the new area with words use the AI Image Extender instead.
