Questions
What is AI expand (outpainting)?
It extends a picture past its edges. Instead of stretching or cropping, AI paints new content around your photo that matches its style, light and colours. Your own photo stays as it is.
Which pictures can I use?
JPG, PNG and WebP up to 40 MB and about 5000 × 5000 pixels. Square and wide photos give the best phone wallpapers.
Can I choose which side gets filled?
Yes. Drag your photo inside the frame: move it down and AI paints the sky above, move it up and it paints below. Make it smaller to fill every side.
How long does it take?
Usually around a minute. You can keep the page open and the result appears in the frame.
