How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works best with landscape photos, cityscapes, or interiors where there's clear content that can be extended outward. Photos with visible horizon lines, repeating patterns, or continuous backgrounds yield the best panoramic extensions.

    Expect: Simple extensions (expand left/right): 30-45 seconds. Complex multi-direction extensions with detailed scenes may need 2-3 refinements.
  2. Describe your panorama extension

    Type your instruction: 'extend image to panoramic width with matching landscape' or 'expand left and right to create ultra-wide view.' Specify direction (left, right, both sides, top, bottom), target aspect ratio (21:9, 32:9, cinematic), and content to generate ('continue the mountain range', 'extend the city skyline'). No marking needed—the AI understands boundaries and generates matching content outward.

    Tip: Include style guidance like 'match lighting and color' or 'maintain perspective' to ensure seamless blending. Specify what should continue: 'extend the beach scene' is clearer than just 'extend image'.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Standard panoramic extension extend image to panoramic width by expanding left and right sides with matching landscape
    Ultra-wide cinematic view expand to ultra-wide cinematic format 32:9 with seamless horizon extension
    Beach scene expansion extend beach photo to panorama by continuing the ocean and sand on both sides
    City skyline widening expand city skyline to widescreen by extending buildings and sky to the left and right
    4 more prompts
    Mountain range continuation extend mountain landscape to panoramic view with matching peaks and sky
    Interior room expansion expand interior photo to show more of the room by extending walls and floor to the sides
    Forest path extension extend forest path photo to panorama by continuing trees and foliage on both sides
    Sunset panorama creation expand sunset landscape to ultra-wide with matching sky colors and horizon line
  3. Generate and review extension

    Click Generate and wait 30-45 seconds. The AI analyzes your scene's edges, perspective, lighting, and content, then outpaints new areas that blend seamlessly. Review the extended edges at 100% zoom to verify the generated content matches naturally.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If certain extended areas don't match perfectly—like horizon alignment issues or color mismatches—tap markers on those problem spots and regenerate with adjustment instructions. This is optional—most extensions work seamlessly without markers.

    Tip: Markers are for precision refinement, not required. Try without them first. Use markers to fix specific areas like 'align horizon here' or 'match this texture'.
  5. Download your panorama

    Save your extended panoramic image in full resolution. The output maintains original quality in the center with AI-generated extensions that blend seamlessly. Perfect for widescreen displays, prints, or cinematic social media posts.

If something looks off

Extended areas don't match the original scene's style

Why: The AI generated content based on unclear instructions or misinterpreted the scene type.

Try: Be very specific: 'extend with matching [specific elements] in the same style and lighting as the original'

Tip: Describe what's in your scene explicitly: 'continue the rocky beach with dark sand and driftwood' beats generic 'extend image'

Horizon line is misaligned or curved in extended areas

Why: The AI didn't properly detect or maintain the horizon's position during outpainting.

Try: Add: 'extend with perfectly straight horizon at the same height as original' or mark the horizon line

Tip: For landscapes with visible horizons, always mention 'maintain horizon alignment' in your prompt

Lighting doesn't match between original and extended areas

Why: The AI generated content without considering the original lighting direction or quality.

Try: Specify lighting: 'extend with matching lighting from [direction], same time of day and shadows'

Tip: Include lighting details: 'golden hour light from left', 'overcast diffused lighting', 'harsh noon sun'

Extended content has obvious repetition or tiling

Why: The AI used pattern-filling instead of generating new unique content.

Try: Add: 'generate unique varied content, avoid repeating patterns' or describe specific new elements to add

Tip: For scenes with repeating elements (trees, buildings), mention 'with natural variation' in your prompt

Perspective or depth looks wrong in extended areas

Why: The AI didn't correctly analyze the original photo's perspective and vanishing points.

Try: Add: 'maintain original perspective and depth of field' or 'match the viewing angle'

Tip: For photos with strong perspective (roads, hallways), explicitly mention 'preserve perspective lines'

Colors are slightly different in extended sections

Why: Color grading and tone mapping weren't perfectly preserved during generation.

Try: Specify: 'extend with exact color matching and same white balance as original'

Tip: Add 'match color temperature' or 'same saturation and contrast' for better color consistency

AI changed the wrong area or modified the original image

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which areas to extend from description alone.

Try: Tap markers on the edges you want extended (left edge, right edge, etc.), then regenerate with your prompt

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'extend from THIS edge.' Use them when extension affects unwanted areas.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the edges before describing the extension?

No! Just describe what you want: 'extend image to panoramic width' or 'expand left and right with matching landscape.' The AI automatically detects image boundaries and extends outward. Only use markers when you need precision—like specifying which edge to extend or fixing specific problem areas after your first attempt.

How do I ensure the extended areas match my original photo?

Be specific in your prompt about what should continue: 'extend with matching forest trees' instead of just 'extend image.' Include details like 'same lighting', 'maintain horizon', or 'preserve perspective.' The more context you provide about scene type and elements, the better the AI can generate matching content.

Is there a free AI tool that can extend photos to panoramic format?

Yes. EditThisPic is completely free to try with no signup required. You get free daily edits to extend your photos with AI outpainting. No watermarks, no subscriptions, no credit card needed.

What is the best free AI tool for creating panoramas from regular photos?

EditThisPic's AI Panorama Extender analyzes your scene's perspective, lighting, and content to generate seamless extensions. Unlike simple crop tools, it intelligently creates new content that matches your original image's style.

Can I extend photos in multiple directions at once?

Yes. Use prompts like 'extend left, right, and top to create ultra-wide letterbox format' or 'expand in all directions for square panorama.' The AI can outpaint in any direction you specify.

What types of photos work best for panoramic extension?

Landscapes, cityscapes, beaches, mountain ranges, and interiors with clear backgrounds work excellently. Photos with visible horizons, repeating patterns, or continuous elements extend most naturally. Avoid images with complex subjects at edges that would be difficult to continue logically.
