Brief fit

Confirm the expanded composition still matches the project goal, placement, and audience.

Important details

Inspect important details such as faces, hands, text, product shapes, and background continuity.

Destination crop and format

AI Image Extender Limitations

AI image extension has practical boundaries. Results can vary, and important visual details may need careful inspection before you choose a final output.

Variable image results

Generated results can differ between attempts, especially when the source crop gives limited context for the added area.

Detail-sensitive boundaries

Small objects, faces, text, product edges, and brand-sensitive areas may need extra review after expansion.

AI Image Extender FAQ

Answers to common questions about AI Image Extender inputs, controls, and expected results.

What does AI Image Extender do?
AI Image Extender is designed for expanding an existing image rather than starting from a blank canvas. You provide a source image, pick where the frame should grow, and add guidance for the scene.
When should I uncrop image content?
You can uncrop image compositions for new layouts, widen a product scene, add vertical space for a social post, or adapt a visual to a different destination format.
What should I inspect after extending a canvas?
Extending or uncropping a canvas can add plausible surrounding space, but fine details near faces, text, logos, hands, or product edges should be checked before the result is used.
How do I guide the extension?
Use the prompt detail field to describe what should be preserved, what the new area should contain, and how the subject and setting should continue.
