Expand the image, keep the lighthouse.

The lighthouse filled a square frame nicely, but the website header is wide. Instead of cropping off the top and bottom, the coastline, the sea and the stormy sky carry on to the left and right until the photo fits, with the lighthouse untouched in the middle. Some call it outpainting; you just see more of the place you photographed.

  • Scene continued past the edges
  • Light and horizon matched
  • The original kept in the middle
The café terrace photo enhanced with richer colour, crisper detail and flattering lightThe café photo extended to a wide frame, showing more of the street and terraceBeforeAfterNow 16:9, nothing cropped

Portrait photo, widescreen cover.

A tall phone photo looks lost in a wide slot: thin, with empty bars on both sides. Extend it to 16:9 and the street and the café keep going around her, so it works as a banner, a video thumbnail or a slide background. It’s an AI image expander for any photo that came out the wrong shape.

  • Tall photos made wide
  • The street and café continued
  • She stays exactly as she was

For photos that need a new shape.

Every place you post wants a different frame. Your photo can fit all of them.

Stories and reels

Turn a square or landscape photo into a tall 9:16 story with no blurred bars.

Website banners

Make a hero image wide enough for a header without cropping the subject.

Social posts

Fit one photo to square, portrait and landscape posts without losing the edges.

Room for a headline

Add clean space beside the subject for text on ads, covers and slides.

Product photos

Give a tightly cropped product shot more table and backdrop around it. Handy when a marketplace wants a different shape from the one you shot.

Prints and frames

Match a photo to a 3:2 or 4:3 frame instead of trimming it to fit.
