What image files can I upload?

Upload one JPG, PNG, or WebP photo up to 10 MB from desktop or mobile. No extra software is required. You sign in so the run can use credits. Tight crops with almost no background give the model less scene to extend.

Which aspect ratios and resolution do I get?

You can choose 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, or 9:16. The MiniApp generates a new image at 1K, not a pixel-scaled copy of the original file. Because generation varies, review the extended areas before you use the result in a final asset.

Are my photos stored, and who owns the result?

Uploads are used to generate the new frame through the configured image model. We do not sell your personal information. You can access or delete account data in settings. Keep rights to the original photo, and review the generated derivative before you publish it.

Is this AI image extender free?

Each run costs 6 credits because this MiniApp generates at 1K with Nano Banana 2. New accounts receive free starter credits, so you can try a ratio change before buying more. If credits run out, add a plan from pricing; this page does not offer unlimited free generations.

Can AI change aspect ratio without cropping?

Yes. A normal resizer only scales or crops pixels, so a new ratio means cutting the subject or stretching it. This tool generates extra scene around the original so the frame changes and the subject stays whole. Use a standard scaler only when the crop should stay the same.

Should I use this or the AI image upscaler?

Use this tool to change the aspect ratio. Use the AI image upscaler when you want a 2K version of the same framing. The two jobs are different: one extends the scene, the other increases resolution. Picking the wrong tool is the usual reason results look unexpected.

Change Aspect Ratio Without Cropping

Most resizers crop or stretch when the frame changes. Upload a photo, pick 16:9, 1:1, or 9:16, and this tool extends the scene so the subject stays whole.

AI Image Resize

Resize any image to a new aspect ratio without cropping or distortion — AI extends the scene to fit the new frame.

How to change aspect ratio without cropping

One upload, one ratio, no manual canvas work. The model extends the scene instead of cutting it.

Upload the photo

Choose a portrait, product shot, or landscape that is right except for the frame. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 10 MB work in the browser.

Pick 16:9, 1:1, or 9:16

Select 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, or 9:16. Nano Banana 2 keeps the original content and generates the missing edges to fit that ratio.

Download the extended image

Review the new areas, then download a 1K image at the chosen ratio with nothing cropped and nothing stretched.

Uncrop the frame. Keep the photo.

Change ratio without cropping

A normal resizer will not uncrop a photo: a new aspect ratio means slicing the edges or stretching the pixels. This tool keeps the original subject, faces, and products fully visible, then rebuilds the frame around what you already shot. Use it when the photo is right and only the crop is wrong — not when you merely need a smaller file at the same framing.

AI expand image, not empty bars

An AI image extender should grow the scene, not drop letterbox bars or a blur fill on the sides. Backgrounds, walls, floors, and light continue into the new areas so the download reads as one photograph. Tight crops with almost no environment leave less for the model to extend — a little surrounding context produces a cleaner expand.

16:9, 1:1, and 9:16 presets

Pick the ratio the destination actually uses instead of guessing a canvas size. 16:9 and 4:3 cover banners, slides, and covers; 1:1 fits square feeds; 3:4 and 9:16 handle portraits, stories, and vertical clips. One upload can become the landscape, square, and portrait versions of the same shot.

Where a no-crop ratio change helps

Use this when the photo is right and only the aspect ratio is wrong. It does not enlarge a crop to 2K.

Landscape to portrait for stories

Turn a landscape photo into a 9:16 story or a 1:1 feed post without cutting people, products, or the horizon.

Product photos for banners and listings

Adapt one product shot to a 16:9 banner, a square listing, or a portrait ad while the product stays fully visible.

Prints, slides, and 16:9 covers

Reframe portraits and photos for 4:3 slides or 16:9 covers without rebuilding the composition by hand.

Why extend the scene instead of cropping

Most ratio tools crop the subject or add empty bars. This MiniApp generates the missing scene so the photo keeps its content at a new aspect ratio.

	Crop or stretch resizer	This AI extender
How the frame changes	Crop to the new ratio or stretch pixels	Generate extra scene to fill 16:9, 1:1, or 9:16
What happens to the subject	Faces, products, and edges get cut	Original subject stays fully visible
Empty edges	Letterbox bars, blur, or a solid fill	Background, light, and surfaces continue
When you need more pixels	A separate upscaler, or the same crop at a new file size	This outputs 1K at a new ratio; use the 2K upscaler when framing is already right
