Expand images beyond the crop

Uncrop photos or change aspect ratios in seconds with AI outpainting that blends perfectly

Fit every platform instantly

Stop juggling multiple crops. Pick a preset or enter exact pixels and Claid.ai generates the extra background so your image meets Instagram, Shopify, or banner specs without stretching or blank bars.

Get seamless AI quality

Outpainting uses generative AI trained on millions of photos, so the new edges match lighting, texture, and perspective. Viewers won’t notice where the original ends and the extension begins.

Save hours of manual edits

Skip cloning‑stamp work in Photoshop. One click delivers publish‑ready assets, whether you need more copy space for ads or want to rescue an image that was cropped too tight.

How to expand images

STEP 1: UPLOAD

Add your original image

Drag‑and‑drop a JPG or PNG up to 16 MP. A minimum of 300 × 300 px is enough for the AI to analyse context.

STEP 2: SET SIZE

Choose ratio and resolution

Select a preset (square, IG story, landscape) or type width and height. Use the border preservation slider to decide how strictly the original edges stay intact.

STEP 3: GENERATE

Outpaint and download

Click Generate. Claid.ai creates the extra canvas in seconds. Review, then download as PNG or JPG - ready for web, print, or further edits.

How does AI outpainting differ from simple resizing?

Resizing just scales the existing pixels. Outpainting adds new content that blends with the original, letting you uncrop or change aspect ratio without distortion.

Will the expanded area match my brand style?

Yes. The model analyses colour, lighting, and perspective to generate edges that look consistent. For strict brand palettes, tweak the border preservation slider or follow up with our brush editor for fine control.

Is there an API for bulk image expansion?

Absolutely. The generative resize endpoint lets you automate outpainting at scale. Learn more here.

What does it cost to expand images?

The web app offers 5 free uploads. After that, subscribe to a plan that fits your needs. API usage is billed per credit with volume discounts.

What size limits should I know?

Output can be from 300 × 300 px up to 16 MP, and the width‑to‑height ratio can’t exceed 16 : 9 or 9 : 16.
