Extend any picture with AI outpainting
Add room to any composition, in any aspect ratio.
Drop in a picture, pick a new aspect ratio, and outpainting fills the new canvas. The original pixels stay exactly as they are; getimg.ai paints the empty area around them with content that matches the lighting, palette, and composition of your source.
Built for production, not one-off edits
Three details that matter when outpainting goes from a single picture to ongoing creative work.
Ready for client work
Every paid plan on getimg.ai includes commercial rights from day one, so outpainted pictures go straight into client work, ad creative, packshots, and any other paid output without extra licensing.
Run a batch at once
Resize image takes one picture or a whole batch. Apply the same aspect ratio and Outpainting setting across multiple sources and run them through in a single pass.
Upscale after outpainting
The extended picture lands in your gallery alongside the rest of your assets. Send it to the Upscale image Action for 2K, 4K, 8K or 16K output.
Outpaint in three clicks, or rebuild it manually
What used to take a manual session in a raster editor takes seconds in the Resize image Action.
With getimg.ai
1. Drop the picture into Resize image
Open the Resize image Action in the sidebar and drop your source into the box at the bottom.
2. Pick the new aspect ratio
Choose the target shape: 1:1, 9:16, 16:9, or another supported ratio for the placement.
3. Switch the mode to Outpainting
Toggle from Smart Resize to Outpainting and getimg.ai paints the new area around your original.
Doing it manually
- Open the source in Photoshop or another raster editor
- Resize the canvas to the new aspect ratio
- Select the empty area around the original
- Sample colors and lighting at the edge of the source
- Clone-stamp, healing-brush, or content-aware-fill across the empty area
- Paint over obvious repeats and seams by hand
- Add missing detail to match the original lighting and texture
- Color-grade the new section so it matches the source
- Flatten and export at the right resolution
What outpainting is for
A few of the jobs that come up most often when teams switch to outpainting in Resize image.
Outpainting
Extend the canvas, keep the original.
Outpainting sits in the Resize image Action. Pick a new aspect ratio and getimg.ai paints what isn't there, working outward from your picture. The source pixels stay untouched, and the new area continues the scene with consistent colors, edges, and light direction across the seam.
Frequently Asked Questions
Outpainting in getimg.ai keeps the original pixels of your picture and paints the area around them to fill a new, larger aspect ratio. The model studies the source's color tones, light direction, and subject placement, then generates the surrounding pixels so the additions match what's already in the picture.
It's one of two modes in the Resize image Action. Outpainting preserves the source pixel-for-pixel; Smart Resize is the other mode, where the picture is regenerated at the new aspect ratio. Pick Outpainting when every original pixel matters; pick Smart Resize when a clean re-render of the same composition is what you need.
AI outpainting and inpainting do opposite jobs. Outpainting extends a picture past its current edges, painting new pixels around what's already there. Inpainting works inside the current edges, adding, removing, or replacing parts of the picture you've already got. Use outpainting when you want more picture; use inpainting when you want to change what's in the picture.
In getimg.ai, outpainting lives in the Resize image Action. Pick a new aspect ratio and the model paints the surrounding canvas. Inpainting lives in image editing: open any picture, mark what you want to change, and describe the new content in the prompt.
Outpainting reuses every pixel of your source picture, so the source quality matters. High-resolution, well-lit pictures give the model the most signal to work with, and the surrounding pixels match the source more closely on detail, texture, and lighting. Low-resolution or heavily compressed sources can produce extensions that look softer than the original, especially on large jumps like 1:1 to 16:9.
Resize image supports nine ratios for outpainting: 1:1 for square posts, 9:16 for Stories and Reels, 16:9 for YouTube and banners, plus 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, 2:3, 4:5, and 21:9. You pick the target ratio before running outpainting, and the model paints the canvas to fit that shape.
Your original stays exactly where you uploaded it. Outpainting saves the extended version as a new file in the gallery, so the source is always available to re-run with a different aspect ratio, send to another Action, or compare against the result.
Yes. Resize image accepts a single picture or a batch. Pick from the gallery or upload fresh sources, then run outpainting on all of them at once with one aspect ratio choice.
Yes. Every paid plan (Entry, Core, Plus, Ultra) includes commercial rights from day one, so outpainted pictures can go into client work, advertising, product photography, and any other commercial output without extra licensing.
