Expand a Photo to a New Aspect Ratio for Free
Pick the ratio you need for Stories, feed posts or widescreen. The AI builds out the scenery around your photo and is asked not to add new people, text or logos.
One photo can be expanded for free every 48 hours, as a guest. Choose 9:16, 4:5 or 16:9 and the AI adds background around your original frame instead of cutting into it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the AI Image Extender really free?
Yes, to try. Every visitor gets one free AI Image Extender try every 48 hours, with no account and no card. On a very busy day guest tries can pause until the next day. The result shows on the page; downloading it in full quality needs a free account. More edits need a free account: each costs 2 credits, and the 20 sign-up credits cover the first ones once your email is verified. Results made with free credits carry a small "Made with inflyu" mark, and any credit pack removes it on new results.
Which ratios can I expand to?
9:16 for Stories and Reels, 4:5 for feed posts, and 16:9 for widescreen and thumbnails. The free try uses whichever one you pick.
Will it add people or objects in the new space?
The edit asks for background and scenery only, with no new subjects, text or logos. Busy or highly detailed backgrounds are harder to continue cleanly, so check where the old frame ends.
Why extend a photo instead of cropping it?
Cropping a landscape photo to 9:16 cuts most of it away. Extending keeps the whole original picture and adds new background around it, so the subject stays in frame.
