Expand Any Image Beyond Its Borders
Zoom out of any photo and let AI fill in what was never captured. Pick a direction, pick how much to extend, and gpt-image-1 builds a seamless larger frame around your original.
Features
Programmatic mask, pixel-perfect edges
No painting, no guessing — we compute the exact mask so your original image stays bit-for-bit identical while the AI extends the borders.
All directions supported
Extend up, down, left, right, horizontally, vertically, or symmetrically in all four directions. The tool computes padding and mask geometry for each choice.
Seamless edges
gpt-image-1 regenerates only the transparent border regions while preserving the original pixels exactly. Texture, color palette, and lighting continue naturally.
Flexible scale
+25%, +50%, or +100% — pick the right amount for your composition. Subtle crops benefit from +25%, dramatic expansions go up to +100%.
Pay only for what you use
Each run costs 4 credits (~$0.06) — the same price as a medium-quality edit in the main studio. New accounts get 10 credits on signup so you can try it immediately.
How it works
Three steps to a wider frame
The composer handles the math — you only pick what you want and click.
Upload the image
PNG, JPG, JPEG, or WebP up to 10MB. Works on any aspect ratio.
Pick direction and scale
Choose which side(s) to extend and by how much. The preview shows you exactly where AI will generate new content.
Click Expand Image
gpt-image-1 fills in the new area in about 10–30 seconds. Download the extended image when it's done.
