Use the right operation

Expand Image, Resize, Crop, or Upscale?

These edits solve different layout problems. Choose Expand Image when you need newly generated surroundings; use the other operations when the existing pixels already contain what you need.

Expand image

Adds generated scene beyond the current borders to create a wider or taller composition.

Resize or crop

Unlike Expand Image, resizing changes dimensions and cropping removes content without inventing meaningful space outside the frame.

Upscale image

Unlike Expand Image, upscaling increases output size and detail while keeping roughly the same composition and field of view.

AI Image Editor

Replace objects, backgrounds, lighting, or styling with a prompt-guided edit.

Background Remover

Isolate the subject and prepare a reusable cutout for a new composition.

Image Upscaler

Increase detail after the expanded composition is ready for a larger layout.

Questions About the Expand Image Tool

What does Expand Image do?

Expand Image uses AI outpainting to generate new visual content beyond an image's existing borders. It is useful when the original crop is too tight or the composition needs a different aspect ratio.

Is expanding an image the same as resizing it?

No. Resizing changes pixel dimensions and can stretch or shrink existing content. Expanding generates additional surroundings outside the current frame while aiming to continue the scene.

How should I write a prompt for an AI image extender?

Describe what should appear beyond the borders, the lighting and perspective to continue, the subject placement to preserve, and the target use such as a wide banner or vertical cover.

Which aspect ratios can I use?

Available aspect ratios depend on the selected image model. The current choices appear in the workspace, where you can select the option closest to your intended layout.

Will AI outpainting change the original image?

The workflow is intended to extend the composition, but generated results can vary by model and prompt. Review important faces, text, product details, and edge transitions before using the output.

Does expanding an image use credits?

You can prepare the source image and prompt before signing in. If generation uses Artaivo credits, the current cost and available balance are shown in the workspace before the task starts.
