AI Image Extender: expand any photo past its edges

Give a crop back the room it was shot in. The scene continues outward (same light, same perspective, same style) and the subject is left exactly as it was.

How to expand an image

  1. 1

    Upload the image

    A crop that lost its context is the ideal case: a portrait cut off at the shoulders, a landscape trimmed to a square.

  2. 2

    Choose the frame

    Auto keeps the shape and simply adds room on every side. Naming a ratio pushes the picture into that frame instead.

  3. 3

    Expand

    What was already there is untouched. Everything new is built to match its light, perspective and style, so the seam does not read.

Expand image examples

A tight crop goes in, a frame comes out, and the scene carries on past the old edges. The original pixels stay exactly where they were, and only the new space is generated.

What runs it

Bria Expand

The tool runs Bria's outpainting model, which places your image on a bigger canvas and fills only the empty area around it. The subject is not redrawn.

No prompt to write

Kinoseed sends Bria a fixed instruction to continue the scene's light, perspective and texture, so the controls are an upload and a frame.

Ten frames

Auto adds room on every side and keeps the shape. Or push the picture into 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16 or 16:9. The canvas is capped at 5,000 pixels a side.

What people use it for

  • Resize one image for every placement

    Turn a single campaign photo into a 9:16 story, a 1:1 feed post and a 16:9 banner without cropping anyone's head off.

  • Uncrop a photo

    Give back the room a portrait or a landscape lost when it was cropped tight, so it can be reframed or printed at a new shape.

  • Room for text

    Widen a product or hero shot so there is clean background beside the subject for a headline or a call to action.

  • Fit a video frame

    Expand a still to 16:9 or 9:16 before you animate it, so the clip is not letterboxed or cropped.

What it costs

One expansion costs 8 credits, whatever frame you pick. The $10 Basic plan (500 credits a month) covers 62 expansions, and Starter's 1,200 monthly credits cover 150.

Expand image: questions and answers

›Can I change an image's aspect ratio without cropping it?

Yes. Pick the new ratio in the Frame menu and the whole picture stays in while the canvas grows on the short side to reach that shape. Very big jumps, like 9:16 straight to 16:9, invent a lot of new space, so going through 1:1 first can keep the edges cleaner.

›What does the image extender cost, and is there a watermark?

Generating starts with a plan; the cheapest is the $10 Basic plan (500 credits a month). Each expansion costs 8 credits, so a month of that plan covers 62 images. Results never carry a watermark.

›How do I extend an image beyond its edges with AI?

Upload the image, pick a frame, and press generate. The model fills the new canvas around your picture to match its light, perspective and style, and the original area is left as it was.

›Do I need to write a prompt to expand an image?

No. The controls are just the upload and the frame. Auto keeps the source's shape and adds room on every side, while choosing a ratio pushes the picture into that frame.

›Which aspect ratios can I expand to?

Auto, 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16 and 16:9. That covers turning a portrait into a landscape, a square into a story, and the reverse.

›How much does it cost to expand an image?

Each expansion costs 8 credits, so the $10 Basic plan (500 credits a month) covers 62 expansions. Generating starts with a plan from $10 a month (500 credits a month).

›What images work best for outpainting?

A crop that lost its context: a portrait cut off at the shoulders or a landscape trimmed to a square. Uploads can be PNG, JPG or WEBP.
