AI Outpainting

Expand images beyond their original borders using AI to generate seamless extended content.

AI Outpainting intelligently extends your images in any direction, creating new content that naturally continues the existing scene. Whether you need to change aspect ratios, add breathing room around subjects, or expand landscapes, this tool generates context-aware extensions that blend seamlessly with your original image.

Core Features

• Expand images in any direction (top, bottom, left, right)
• Interactive canvas for precise expansion control
• AI-generated content that matches the original style and context
• Adjustable blur for smooth edge transitions
• FLUX Fill model recommended for optimal boundary handling
• "Use as Source" feature for iterative expansion

How to Use

1. Upload Source Image: Load the image you want to expand.
2. Set Expansion Areas: Use the canvas controls to expand the canvas in your desired directions. You can expand multiple sides at once.
3. Enter Prompt (Optional): Describe what should appear in the expanded areas. Leave empty to let AI extend based on image context automatically.
4. Adjust Settings:
   • Blur: Controls edge blending (8-16 recommended for smooth transitions)
   • Model: FLUX Fill is recommended for best results
5. Generate: Click generate to create the expanded image.
6. Continue Expanding: Use "Use as Source" to load the result and expand further.

Best Practices

• Expand gradually (128-256 pixels at a time) for better quality results
• Use blur values between 8-16 for smoother transitions between original and generated content
• Leave the prompt empty for context-aware automatic extension
• FLUX Fill provides the best boundary handling and seamless blending
• Use "Use as Source" to iteratively expand images in multiple steps
• For landscape images, consider expanding horizontally for panoramic effects

Parameter Guide

Blur

Controls the softness of the transition between original image and generated content. Higher values (12-16) create smoother, more gradual blends. Lower values (4-8) produce sharper transitions.

Strength

Determines how much creative freedom the AI has when generating new content. Higher values allow more deviation from the original context.

Use Cases

• Aspect Ratio Conversion: Convert portrait images to landscape or vice versa
• Social Media Formatting: Expand images to fit different platform requirements
• Composition Enhancement: Add space around subjects for better framing
• Panorama Creation: Extend landscape images horizontally
• Print Preparation: Expand images to accommodate bleed areas

Notes

• FLUX Fill is recommended for best boundary handling
• Some parameters (negative prompt, strength) may not be supported by all models
• Generation may consume credits depending on model and output size
• Results can be used as source for further expansion
