Free Background Extender
Seamlessly expand photo backgrounds for banners and crops.
About this tool
Add canvas around a photo when a banner, slide, or print size is wider than the original shot. The extender fills the new edges from the existing background instead of stretching the subject.
It works best on relatively even backdrops (sky, studio paper, a wall). Busy rooms and patterned floors often look patched. For a new scene behind a person, Remove Background and drop in a replacement image instead.
This is not generative outpainting of a new city. It is a practical pad for social covers and letterheads, run in the tab.
Need more canvas around a subject? Extend backgrounds to fit social covers, slides, or print sizes without awkward stretching.
