FAQ
Frequently Asked
What is an AI image extender?
An AI image extender generates new content beyond the original image borders instead of stretching or cropping the existing image.
What is the difference between Image Extender and Generative Fill?
Image Extender adds content outside the original canvas. Generative Fill regenerates a selected area inside the existing image.
Can I expand an image to 9:16?
Yes. Choose the 9:16 preset to prepare portrait images for Stories, Reels, TikTok, and other vertical formats.
Will the original image be changed?
The original image remains inside the new canvas, while AI generates the surrounding extension. Complex edges may still require review.
Can I describe what should appear in the new area?
Yes. Add an optional prompt to guide the generated background and surrounding content.
