Image extender workflow

Add the source image

Use JPG, PNG, or WEBP files up to 10 MB. You can stage up to 5 images in one batch.

Pick the canvas

Choose the exact output ratio before generation: square, portrait, vertical, widescreen, banner, or standard.

Guide difficult edges

Add a short direction when the border has floors, walls, signs, shelves, hands, or other details the AI must continue.

Generate and inspect

Check the original subject, corners, lighting, and any text before downloading or using the result commercially.

The practical meaning

People search for image extender AI when they need more canvas around an existing image. This is different from compressing a file or stretching pixels. The AI generates new background outside the original frame.

What the free tier covers

Upload, canvas preview, prompt direction, and batch setup are available before sign-in. Generation requires an account because the AI provider charges per finished image. A signed-in free account receives 5 credits every month with no card required, and 1 credit produces 1 finished image at your target ratio. Credit packs and subscriptions cover heavier volumes.

The right expectation

The result is a plausible extension, not a recovery of hidden original pixels. Review it like an image edit before publishing, especially when the border contains text, faces, hands, or brand details.

Quick answers

Is AI Image Extender free to start?

Yes. You can upload and prepare images before sign-in. A free account includes 5 monthly credits, and each finished outpainted image uses 1 credit.

Does it crop or change the original subject?

The goal is to keep the original pixels untouched and generate new background outside the current frame. Always inspect faces, products, logos, and text before publishing.

Which images work best?

Continuous backgrounds such as sky, walls, floors, studio surfaces, rooms, and simple product backdrops work best. Busy borders need a prompt hint or a cleaner crop.
