AI Uncrop Image — Reconstruct More Around a Photo

AI reconstructs plausible surroundings; it cannot recover the exact original scene

Reveal more of a scene around a tight crop. Choose a new composition and generate the missing surroundings without cutting away the original frame.

  • Reconstruct space beyond a tight crop
  • Square, portrait, story, and wide output
  • Original placed image restored after generation

Choose a tightly cropped image

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

When you know the target shape and want to see the canvas first, preview the expanded frame before generating; a horizon that now looks off-level can be straightened by a custom angle.

Anything unwanted in the new space can be painted over and refilled.
