AI Image Extender API

Expand any photo into a new aspect ratio with AI outpainting that matches the original scene, for design teams, creative operations, and e-commerce catalog managers.

One Outpainting API for Every Aspect Ratio

The AI Image Extender API is an image outpainting service that expands a source photo into a larger frame by generating new, context aware content around it. A single REST call returns a seamlessly extended image at up to 4K. Teams use it to reframe one asset for every channel without a reshoot.

Reframe Any Photo in Any Size

The API fills the new space with generated content that matches the original scene.

  • Generate the whole format set from a single picture
  • Position the original anywhere in the frame and extend one side, two sides, or all four
  • Get a finished, ready-to-publish image with no manual retouching step

Hyper Realistic Results That Match the Original Scene

Context aware generation continues lighting, texture, and background so the join stays invisible.

  • Generated areas blend with the colors and detail of the source photo
  • The original keeps its style and aesthetic across the wider frame
  • Campaign-grade output that holds up at full resolution on every placement

Save Time and Budget on Every Campaign

Every asset you already own becomes a full set of channel-ready images, for the price of an API call.

  • Keep production costs predictable with a clear per-image price
  • Ship seasonal and regional variants the same day they are briefed
  • Grow creative output with the assets you already have

Image Extender API Integration Built for Production
