Image outpainting workflow
Turn cropped or cramped images into layout-ready visuals
This page is for creators who already have a strong image but need more canvas. The workflow focuses on practical outpainting: extend backgrounds, fit new aspect ratios, protect the subject, and prepare visuals for posts, ads, thumbnails, product pages, and story panels.
Creators resizing existing images without losing the subject
Use it when a photo, product shot, portrait, or illustration is too tight for the target layout and cropping would remove key visual information.
Cropping cuts off the story
A strong image can fail a social post, ad, or product layout because the subject sits too close to the edge.
Manual background painting is slow
Extending skies, rooms, studio backdrops, or illustration edges by hand means masking, cloning, and tedious clean-up.
Aspect ratios keep changing
The same visual may need square, vertical, horizontal, and banner versions across different channels.
Before
One strong image that is too narrow, too vertical, or too tightly cropped for the layout you need.
After
A larger composition with AI-filled edges that keeps the original subject intact and gives the design space to breathe.
- 1Upload the image you want to extend.
- 2Choose the direction, padding, or target aspect ratio.
- 3Add a short prompt if the new background needs specific details.
- 4Generate, check edge quality, then download the expanded image.
Adapt one image for square posts, vertical stories, wide thumbnails, banners, and product layouts.
Extend the background instead of cutting away faces, products, panels, or key composition details.
Case study
Product image becomes campaign-ready
A creator can upload a tight product or portrait image, extend the background to a wider layout, and use the new space for titles, copy, or platform-safe margins.
Useful outcome
A layout-ready image without rebuilding the shot or manually painting new background areas.
