How it works

  1. Upload Your Image

    Choose the photo you want to extend beyond its current borders. Works with any aspect ratio or image size.

    Expect: Simple extend: 20-30 seconds. Complex extend: 30-45 seconds and may need refinements.
  2. Describe the Extension

    Tell the AI what should appear in the extended areas - new scenery, continued patterns, or creative additions. Specify direction and style to match your vision.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    extend Extend left and right sides showing more of the street scene with matching urban buildings, parked cars, and sidewalks under the same afternoon lighting
    extend Extend upward adding more dramatic storm clouds in dark grays and purples matching the moody atmosphere of the original photo
    extend Extend downward revealing more of the beach with wet sand, small waves, and scattered seashells matching the coastal scene
    extend Extend all sides to create a wider mountain panorama, adding more peaks, forest slopes, and alpine meadows under the same golden hour light
    3 more prompts
    extend Extend right side showing the continuation of the indoor hallway with matching hardwood floors, white walls, and recessed lighting
    extend Extend top and bottom creating a taller portrait orientation, adding sky above and ground below while maintaining subject position
    extend Extend left side revealing more of the formal garden with manicured hedges, stone pathways, and flowering plants matching the estate grounds aesthetic
  3. Review Generated Content

    Check that the outpainted areas blend naturally with your original image. Verify lighting, perspective, and style consistency across the extended canvas.

  4. Download Your Extended Image

    Save your outpainted image in full resolution with no watermark. The expanded canvas includes all new generated content.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark where to extend the image?

No marking needed. Just describe which direction to extend (top, bottom, left, right, all sides) and what should appear in the new areas. The AI handles boundary detection and seamless generation automatically.

What's the difference between outpainting and background extension?

Outpainting generates entirely new content beyond borders (revealing more of a scene), while background extension typically continues existing patterns or textures. Outpainting is more creative and can add new elements.

Can outpainting work with any image type?

Yes, works with photos, illustrations, product shots, portraits, and landscapes. Best results come from images with clear context that helps the AI understand what should logically extend beyond the borders.

How do I control what appears in the outpainted areas?

Be specific in your description: mention objects, scenery, lighting conditions, and style. The more detail you provide about what should appear, the better the AI can generate matching content.

Can I outpaint in multiple directions at once?

Yes, you can extend all sides simultaneously or specific combinations (top and bottom, left and right). Describe what should appear in each direction for best results.
