Uncrop Photos and Extend Images with AI

Uncropping – also called outpainting or image expanding – adds new content around the edges of your photo. Choose how much bigger the image should be, and the AI generates the missing parts so they match the original: the same light, colors, textures and perspective. It's like zooming out on a photo that was taken too close.

How to Uncrop an Image

  1. Upload your photo

    Any image you want to extend.

  2. Set the new canvas

    Drag the edges to add space above, below or to the sides, or pick a ready-made format. You can also move, resize and rotate the original photo on the canvas.

  3. Add a prompt (optional)

    Describe what should appear in the new area, or leave it empty to simply continue the scene.

  4. Uncrop and refine

    Click Uncrop. Not happy? Reroll for a new version or go back to edit the settings. Then download your image.

What You Can Do with AI Uncrop

Fix tight crops

Bring back a cut-off head, feet or a building top.

Turn vertical photos into horizontal ones

And the other way around, without cropping anything out.

Make room for text

Add space for headlines, banners and ads.

Create a zoom-out effect

Show more of the scene around your subject.

Get creative

Put your subject in a bigger, completely new scene with a prompt.

Uncrop for Social Media and Any Aspect Ratio

Every platform needs a different shape: square posts, vertical stories, wide banners and thumbnails. Pick a ready-made format and let the AI extend your photo to fit it, instead of cropping out important parts.

  • Portrait 3:4Vertical posts and stories
  • Landscape 4:3Banners, covers and thumbnails
  • Square 1:1Square posts and profile images

Any other size: type the width and height in pixels.

Guide the AI with a Prompt

Leave the prompt empty and the AI will continue the scene naturally. Add a prompt to decide what appears in the new space – for example "a sandy beach with palm trees" or "a modern office in the background".

  • a sandy beach with palm trees
  • a modern office in the background

Tips for Better Uncrop Results

  • Extend in reasonable steps. Big extensions work better in two or three rounds than in one.

  • Keep additions simple. Skies, landscapes, walls and backgrounds look more natural than complex objects or extra hands.

  • Use Reroll. Each generation is different – try a few versions and keep the best one.

  • Finish with Enhance or Upscale. Improve quality or enlarge the result for print. Auto Enhance · Image Upscaler
