Key benefits

  • Flexible expansion

    Extend images in any direction to create extra room or adapt to different formats

  • Seamless blending

    Maintain consistent style using a core area as reference and an overlap mask to smooth transitions

  • Precise control

    Set input location, output scale, aspect ratio, input scale and overlap size to match your desired composition and quality

  • Guided outpainting

    Use prompts to guide new content or convert your reference image into a starting prompt; refine with Prompt Spark

  • Workflow integration

    After outpainting, enhance your image for higher resolution, refine details in Retouch, or use the expanded result as a reference in other Scenario tools

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload your image

    Start from any image in Scenario or upload a new one. The canvas highlights a core area (unchanged), a chessboard area (where new content will appear) and an overlap zone (for blending).

  2. 2

    Configure expansion

    Choose which sides to extend and adjust settings: input location (top, center, etc.), output scale, aspect ratio, input scale and overlap.

  3. 3

    Guide with a prompt

    Write a prompt to describe what you want in the expanded area, or convert your reference image into a prompt. Refine it with Prompt Spark to improve clarity or creativity.

  4. 4

    Generate & iterate

    Click generate and review the results. Use the compare slider to assess blending, adjust overlap or prompt for better integration, and iterate until you're satisfied.
