Upload a photo, pick the shape you need and the AI adds new picture around it: more sky, more beach, more room. Your original stays untouched in the middle.

An AI image extender is a tool that makes a photo bigger by drawing new scenery beyond its edges, so it fits a new shape without cropping. Here you upload one JPG, PNG or WEBP up to 15 MB and choose 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5. Your photo is kept at its own size in the centre, and the AI fills the added space to match. You can add a short hint like "more beach and sky". Each image costs a flat 35 credits.

Pick 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5. Optionally tell the AI image extender what's around the photo, like "more of the garden".
Press Extend image. The wider or taller PNG is saved in My Videos, ready to download and post.
16:9 landscape for YouTube and slides, 9:16 vertical for Reels, Shorts, TikTok and Stories, 1:1 square for profile and feed posts, and 4:5 portrait for feed posts that take up more of the screen.
The original is placed in the centre at its own size, and only the new area is drawn. Faces, products and text in your photo are not redrawn or cropped.
The added area continues what's already there: the horizon line, the floor, the wall colour, the light direction. A beach keeps going as beach, a street keeps its buildings.
Type what should be around the photo, up to 300 characters, such as "more sky and mountains" or "a wooden table". Leave it empty and the AI decides from the photo itself.
Turning a landscape photo into a 9:16 Story normally means cutting off most of it. Extending adds height above and below instead, so the whole original stays in the frame.
Cropping fits a photo to a new shape by throwing parts of it away. Extending keeps the whole photo and adds what's missing.
| Feature | AI Image Extender | Cropping to the new shape |
|---|---|---|
| Your original photo | Kept whole, in the centre | Edges cut off to fit the frame |
| Landscape to 9:16 | New sky and ground added above and below | Most of the width is lost |
| Subject at the edge | Stays in the picture | Often cropped out or cut in half |
| Shapes | 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5 in one choice | Any shape, but only by removing picture |
| Output | A PNG saved in My Videos | A smaller image than you started with |
| Price | One flat 35 credits per image | No cost, but you lose part of the photo |
You took a wide photo of a mountain lake and want it as a full-screen Story without slicing off both sides.
Your product shot is a tall phone photo, but the video thumbnail and the presentation slide are both landscape.
A portrait crop of you is too tight for a square profile picture: the top of your head touches the frame.
Reuse one photo as a 9:16 Story, a 4:5 feed post and a 16:9 YouTube image without cropping out the subject.
Give tight product photos breathing room for banners, ads for your brand and listings with a fixed shape.
Get extra background for headline space on posters, slides, banners and email headers.
Rescue shots framed too tightly, or turn a landscape frame into a vertical one for sharing.
Upload the photo, choose a new shape such as 9:16 or 16:9 and press Extend image. The AI adds new background around your photo and saves a PNG in My Videos.
Yes. That's what this tool does: your whole photo stays in the centre and new picture is added on the sides that need it.

35 credits per image. The price is the same for every shape and every photo size up to 15 MB.
No. Your photo is kept as it is in the centre, and only the added area is drawn by the AI. Very large photos are scaled down so the full canvas stays within 5,000 pixels a side.
Yes. The optional hint, up to 300 characters, describes what's around the photo, such as "more sky and mountains".
Yes. Choose 9:16 and the AI adds new space above and below your photo, so it fills a phone screen.
JPG, PNG and WEBP, up to 15 MB. The result is a PNG.
