Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about AI-powered image expansion.

Outpainting is an artificial intelligence technique that extends the content of a photograph beyond its original borders. The AI analyzes the visual context of the image — colors, textures, lighting and composition — and generates new content that is coherent with the scene. This lets you change the aspect ratio of any photo without cropping or distorting the main subject.
The tool accepts JPG, PNG and WebP images up to 10 MB. For best results, use high-resolution images with a well-defined subject and clear visual context that the AI can naturally extend toward the edges.
The process takes between 15 and 40 seconds depending on the image size and server load. The AI needs to analyze the full image and generate new content in a coherent way, which requires deeper processing than a simple crop or resize.
No. The original image is not modified at any point. The AI only adds new content at the outer edges to reach the chosen aspect ratio, fully preserving the subject, colors and resolution of the original photo.
Yes. Images generated with Compress IQ are yours and you can use them freely, including for commercial purposes such as advertising, e-commerce, brand content or marketing materials. Make sure you have the rights to the original image you upload.
Each expansion costs 2 credits. New users receive welcome credits upon registering so you can try the tool at no cost. If you need more, you can purchase credit packs starting at .99 on our pricing page.
