Aspect Ratio FAQ
Common questions about AI image extension
How does AI change aspect ratio without cropping? +
Instead of cropping your image, our AI analyzes the existing content and generates new, matching content to fill the extended areas. This means you keep everything in your original image while adding seamlessly blended content around it.
Can I extend an image in just one direction? +
Yes! You can extend your image in any direction - left, right, top, bottom, or any combination. Just describe what you want, like 'extend to the right with more beach' or 'add more sky above.'
What's the difference between extending and stretching an image? +
Stretching distorts your image and creates obvious artifacts. Our AI extension generates new, realistic content that matches your original image. The subject stays sharp and undistorted while new background or scenery is intelligently added.
Which aspect ratios are supported? +
All of them! We support common presets like 1:1 (square), 16:9 (widescreen), 9:16 (vertical), 4:3, 3:2, and 21:9 (ultrawide). You can also specify any custom ratio or exact pixel dimensions.
Will the extended areas look realistic? +
Our AI is trained on millions of images and excels at generating contextually appropriate content. It analyzes colors, textures, lighting, and composition to create seamless extensions. Results are typically indistinguishable from the original.
Can I use this to make images bigger for printing? +
Yes! Extending your image is perfect for print projects where you need more canvas space. The AI-generated areas maintain quality suitable for high-resolution printing.
