Can I uncrop a photo to make a portrait into landscape?

Yes! If you have a vertical (portrait) photo and need it for a wide banner (landscape), our uncrop tool can generate the missing left and right sides accurately.

What is AI outpainting best used for?

It is perfect for adjusting image aspect ratios without cropping the subject, extending backgrounds for e-commerce banners, adding breathing room to tight compositions, and fixing poorly framed shots.

Will the expanded areas match the original lighting and style?

Our generative AI analyzes the lighting, perspective, and textures of your original image to ensure the extended borders look 100% natural and consistent.

Is the AI canvas expansion tool free?

Yes, you can expand image borders and uncrop photos online for free directly in your browser.

AI image expander guide

Extend photos for banners, covers and wider creative layouts

AI image expansion, also called outpainting or uncrop, adds new visual context beyond the original frame. It is helpful when a portrait is too tight, a product photo needs more whitespace or a vertical image must become a landscape banner.

How to expand an image

1
Upload the original image
Choose a source with clear lighting and enough visible context for the AI to infer what should continue beyond the borders.
2
Set the new canvas area
Expand left, right, top or bottom depending on whether you need a hero banner, ad layout, cover image or extra whitespace.
3
Generate and download
Review the extended area for matching texture, light and perspective, then export the expanded creative.

Common use cases

Turn vertical portraits into horizontal website or ad banners.
Add room for headlines, logos and call-to-action text.
Recover cropped edges when a source image is too tight.
Create alternate aspect ratios from one shoot without reshooting.

Best practices

Expand gradually for complex scenes so each generated region has enough context.
Avoid asking the model to invent important product details that must be exact.
Use expansion for background, environment and whitespace more than critical identity details.
After expanding, crop to the final platform ratio for a cleaner composition.

Expand vs crop

Cropping removes parts of an image to fit a ratio. Expanding adds new pixels so the subject can stay intact while the canvas becomes wider or taller. Use expand when the original composition is good but the format is too narrow.

Supported inputs and outputs

Input: JPG, PNG and WebP source images.
Output: expanded image suitable for banners, covers, ads and social layouts.
Best for: backgrounds, lifestyle scenes, portraits, product whitespace and hero imagery.
