What is AI image outpainting?

Outpainting generates new pixels beyond the original image boundary while using the source as context for subject, lighting, perspective, and style.

Will the original subject change?

The workflow explicitly asks the model to preserve it, but generated details can vary. Review faces, text, logos, and product geometry before publishing.

Which images expand best?

Images with a clear subject, consistent background, and some open space near the crop edges usually produce the cleanest continuation.
