Image stretcher FAQ
What is an image stretcher?
Is Image Stretcher free?
Yes! Picsart allows you to stretch pictures online at no cost. If you want to use additional enhancements and editing tools, some content may require a subscription.
How can I stretch an image online for free without losing quality?
Simply upload a photo and resize the image by entering your preferred dimensions or choosing a common aspect ratio. The picture stretcher instantly enhances the image quality, but you can also manually adjust elements like brightness, sharpness, and color to further improve the photo.
Can I stretch only the background without changing the main subject?
Sure! Use Picsart’s AI image extender tool to expand upon the background visuals without distorting or changing the main subject.
What’s the difference between the image stretcher and image extender tools?
The image stretcher stretches the visual content of the entire photo depending on which dimension you changed. The extender tool uses the existing visual composition of the image to lengthen the visuals and generate larger dimensions for the background, but the central subject of the image doesn’t change.
Is it possible to resize images to fit specific social media dimensions?
Absolutely! The tool gives you the option to select preset aspect ratios that are commonly used on social media sites.
