Frequently asked questions

What is generative expand?

Also called outpainting or uncropping, it extends an image past its original borders by generating new content that matches the scene.

When would I use it?

To change aspect ratio without cropping, fix a too-tight crop, or add room for text and design around a subject.

Will the new area match the photo?

The AI continues the existing scene's style, lighting and content so the extension blends in naturally.

Can I change a portrait photo into a landscape?

Yes — that's a common use. Expand the sides to convert vertical shots into wider compositions.

Do I need Pro to expand images?

Yes — generative expand is a premium outpainting feature, available to Pro members or with credits.

Which formats can I expand?

JPG, PNG and WebP work; photos with continuous backgrounds like skies and landscapes expand most cleanly.

Do you store the photos I expand?

Photos you uncrop are used only to generate the expanded version and are never shared or published.

Extend any photo beyond its edges

Uncrop and reframe with AI outpainting. Unlock it with Pro or credits.
