Learn how to use generative expand to resize images within the Edit tab.
Resize your images effortlessly with Expand. Use generative AI to intelligently expand your image beyond its original frame while maintaining visual consistency and preserving the overall look and feel of your composition.
Select the new dimension from the following options:
- Freeform
- (1:1)
- (4:3)
- (16:9)
- (3:4)
Tip
Use the Freeform option to drag the handles and extend the boundary of the image. Use the preset options to limit the extension to a specific aspect ratio.
In the prompt field, enter a description of what you want the extended area to be filled with, or leave it blank to let Firefly analyze the image and extend it with suitable elements.
Select the Reset icon at any time to clear all extended boundaries and start again.
Once you're satisfied with your frame size, select Expand to initiate the generation and extend the image.
Note
Credit consumption varies by model. To see how many generative credits each generation will use, hover the credit consumption indicator next to the Expand button.
