Effortlessly expand images with AI

Want to turn a portrait into a landscape image or vice versa without any hassle? Or resize a square Instagram post for a story? Perform these tasks quickly and easily with the Picsart AI image extender. Thanks to advanced and context-aware AI, Picsart can understand the context of your image and generate new content that seamlessly blends with the original.

Inpaint and outpaint images with AI

AI inpainting is the process of filling in missing pixels in an image, while AI outpainting is the process of extending the image beyond its original boundaries. This means that you can easily adjust the aspect ratio of your images without having to crop or stretch them. Works perfectly for turning portraits into YouTube thumbnails, Etsy shop covers, and more!

Uncrop images without losing quality

Bring back what was cropped out with the AI Image Extender. This tool expands your image edges naturally, preserving sharpness and detail without stretching. If you're correcting tight framing or adapting to a new format, uncropping with AI keeps your original composition consistent - no need to reshoot or start from scratch.

Expand promotional photos with the AI image extender

Create out-of-this-world promotional visuals for your products with just your phone camera and your imagination. Use the AI photo expander to conduct studio-level product shoots and grab your audience’s attention across your digital and physical campaigns.

Expand your profile picture with AI

Transform a simple headshot into a polished image in seconds. The AI Expander adds natural background details, smooths edges, and creates extra space around your photo. The result? A professional and adaptable profile picture that looks great everywhere - from social media feeds to business profiles.

Get creative with AI Expand for your personal photos

Picsart's AI image extender is also a great tool for personal use. Effortlessly fit your personal memories into invitations, posters, and Facebook event banners. Or tweak the narrative by getting creative with the custom extend feature. Transform the setting into anything you can imagine with only a prompt.

More than an AI image extender

Once you have expanded your image with an AI image extender, you can use Picsart's other AI photo editing tools to refine your edits further. Effortlessly perform complex edits like creating stunning new backgrounds for your images from scratch with the AI background generator, transforming your image into renaissance paintings or cartoons with AI filters.
