Recompose images with Generative Recompose

Последна актуализация на 9.11.2026 г.

Learn how to adapt an image’s composition to a new canvas size or aspect ratio using generative AI in Adobe Photoshop on desktop.

Change the layout of your images with Generative Recompose. Select a target aspect ratio and output size, and Photoshop regenerates the composition to fit the new dimensions, intelligently repositioning subjects and adapting or extending backgrounds rather than simply cropping or stretching the image.

Use Generative Recompose to create versions for different formats, such as wide banners, square posts, and vertical stories, without manually rearranging the composition. The recomposed result opens in a new document, leaving your original document unchanged.

  • Aspect ratio: Select the target proportions, such as 16:9 (Widescreen), 1:1 (Square), or 9:16 (Vertical).
  • Output size: Select the desired output size.
