Outpainting extends your image beyond its original borders. AI intelligently generates new content that seamlessly blends with the existing image—perfect for changing aspect ratios or adding more context.
Select an image from your gallery
Click Outpaint in the editing toolbar
Choose expansion direction(s): left, right, top, or bottom
Set how much to extend (in pixels or percentage)
Optionally describe what should appear in the new area

Single Direction

Good for repositioning subjects
Useful for specific aspect ratio needs
Multiple Directions
Extend two or more sides
Create panoramic views
Significantly change composition
Centered Expansion
Extend all sides equally
Subject stays centered
Great for adding breathing room
Aspect Ratio Conversion
Convert portrait to landscape
Adapt images for different platforms
Create social media variations
Adding Context

Add environmental details
Create more immersive compositions
Improving Composition
Add negative space
Reposition the subject
Follow rule of thirds
Outpainting costs 5 credits per extension at base resolution.
Larger extensions or multiple directions may require additional generations.
Describe the extension: Tell AI what should appear in the new area
Match the style: Reference lighting, mood, and setting
Extend gradually: Multiple small extensions often work better than one large one
Check edges carefully: Ensure smooth blending at boundaries
Use with Magic Edit: Touch up any imperfections after extending
Start with well-composed images: Clear subjects extend better
Consider natural continuation: Think about what logically exists beyond the frame
Match lighting direction: AI does this automatically, but prompts can help
Iterate if needed: First result not perfect? Try different prompts or smaller steps
