Workflow

Add the source image

Use JPG, PNG, or WEBP files up to 10 MB. You can stage up to 5 images in one batch.

Pick the canvas

Choose the exact output ratio before generation: square, portrait, vertical, widescreen, banner, or standard.

Guide difficult edges

Add a short direction when the border has floors, walls, signs, shelves, hands, or other details the AI must continue.

Generate and inspect

Check the original subject, corners, lighting, and any text before downloading or using the result commercially.

Use extension instead of cropping

Cropping removes context. AI extension keeps the existing subject and adds plausible background around it, which is useful when a person, product, room, or landscape was framed too tightly.

Free AI outpainting online

Outpainting is the technical name for this job: the AI generates new background that continues the scene — sky, walls, floors, studio surfaces — instead of stretching or squashing the pixels you already have. Upload and preview free; a free account covers your first finished images each month.

Avoid weak inputs

If a face, sign, hand, or product edge is already cut off, the AI may invent details. Crop to a cleaner border or write a direct prompt such as 'continue the white studio backdrop only.'

Before-and-after examples

The small dashed frame is the original source at its original ratio. The larger solid frame is the extended result at the target ratio. Captions say when an example is an AI illustration.

Outpainted 16:9 result for Real estate — Vertical phone shot of a bedroom → 16:9 widescreen listing hero.

Original 9:16 source for Real estate — Vertical phone shot of a bedroom → 16:9 widescreen listing hero.

Outpainted 1.91:1 result for E-commerce — Square product shot → 1.91:1 storefront banner. AI illustration of the result, not a direct tool export.

Original 1:1 source for E-commerce — Square product shot → 1.91:1 storefront banner. AI illustration of the result, not a direct tool export.

Quick answers

Is AI Image Extender free to start?

Yes. You can upload and prepare images before sign-in. A free account includes 5 monthly credits, and each finished outpainted image uses 1 credit.

Does it crop or change the original subject?

It is designed to generate new background outside the current frame rather than crop the subject, but exact preservation is not guaranteed. Compare faces, products, logos, and text with the source before publishing.

Which images work best?

Continuous backgrounds such as sky, walls, floors, studio surfaces, rooms, and simple product backdrops work best. Busy borders need a prompt hint or a cleaner crop.
