How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your cropped image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB work best. Higher resolution photos give the AI more detail to match when generating the uncropped areas.

    Expect: Simple uncropping: 20-40 seconds. Complex scene generation: may need 2-3 refinements over 1-2 minutes.
  2. Describe what you want

    Type your instruction: 'uncrop this image - show more of the scene above and below' or 'extend the edges to make this photo wider.' Be specific about which direction to expand. The AI understands directional language without needing you to mark anything.

    Tip: Mention what you expect to see in the expanded area: 'uncrop to show more sky above' gives better results than just 'uncrop top.'

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Making a photo wider extend this photo to the left and right to make it wider, continuing the background naturally on both sides
    Recovering cropped headroom uncrop this image - show more of the scene above and below to add breathing room around the subject
    Converting portrait to landscape outpaint to make this portrait landscape orientation, extending both sides with matching background
    Fitting specific aspect ratio expand the background to fit 16:9 aspect ratio, adding content on the necessary sides to reach that format
    3 more prompts
    Making photo taller extend the sky and ground to make this photo taller, maintaining the same lighting and atmosphere
    Recovering cropped edges uncrop this photo to reveal more of the scene that was cut off, especially on the right side where the subject appears cropped
    Creating space for text overlay expand the top of this photo with more sky area for adding text, matching the existing sky color and clouds
  3. Generate and review

    Tap generate and examine where the original photo meets the new content. Check for seamless blending at boundaries, consistent lighting direction, and natural continuation of backgrounds like walls, sky, or ground.

    Tip: Zoom to 100% and check the seam line carefully—visible transitions are the most common issue to spot.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the areas I want to uncrop?

No! Just describe which direction to expand: 'uncrop to show more above and below' or 'extend the left and right sides.' The AI understands directional language.

How do I uncrop a photo to make it wider for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic and type 'extend this photo to the left and right to make it wider.' The AI generates new content that matches your existing background. It's free with no login required—you can uncrop as many photos as you need.

Is there a free AI outpainting tool that doesn't require signup?

Yes. EditThisPic offers free AI outpainting with no account needed. Just upload your photo, describe which direction to expand, and the AI generates new content beyond the edges. No watermarks, no signup, no credit card required.

What is the best free tool for extending photo edges?

EditThisPic's AI outpainting handles edge extension well for most photos. Just type what you want: 'extend both sides to make this wider' or 'add more sky above.' The AI analyzes your photo and generates matching content. It works for portraits, landscapes, product photos, and most other image types.

Can I recover content that was cropped out of a photo?

The AI doesn't recover the original cropped content—it generates new content that plausibly matches what could have been there. For simple backgrounds like walls, sky, or grass, results look very natural. For complex scenes with specific elements that were cropped, the AI will create something appropriate but not identical to what was originally there.
