No-crop aspect-ratio fit

Extend an Image to Vertical or Horizontal

Keep every source pixel and fill the extra canvas with a blurred copy or solid color—no generative outpainting and no subject crop.

Fit an image without cropping

Place the complete source inside a new aspect ratio and fill the extra canvas with blur or a solid color.

Change the frame without cutting off the subject

A crop fills a ratio by discarding edges. This tool scales the complete image to fit, then fills unused canvas with a blurred copy or chosen color.

It is predictable background-fill layout, not generative AI. The padding is design treatment rather than invented photographic content.

How to make a no-crop 9:16 or 16:9 image

  1. 1

    Choose the publishing ratio

    Select 9:16 for stories, 16:9 for horizontal video, or 1:1 for square posts.

  2. 2

    Pick a background treatment

    Use a blurred copy for photographic continuity or solid color for a cleaner layout.

  3. 3

    Check subject scale

    Confirm faces, text, logos, and important edges remain readable in the destination preview.

Useful when cropping would remove content

Vertical story layouts

Place a landscape photo in 9:16 while retaining people at both sides.

Horizontal thumbnails

Fit a portrait source into 16:9 without cutting off a face or product.

Consistent social grids

Place mixed portrait and landscape sources on matching canvases.

Background fill is not outpainting

The original stays intact, but the added area contains no newly generated real-world detail.

  • Extreme ratio changes may make the centered source appear smaller.
  • Blurred padding can distract behind text; use solid color when readability matters.
  • Platform interfaces may cover safe areas even when the file ratio is correct.

No-crop image fitting questions

Does this invent the missing background?

No. It adds a blurred copy or solid color around the complete source.

Will any source pixels be cropped?

No. The full image is scaled to fit inside the chosen canvas.

Which ratio should I use for a story?

9:16 is common, but keep key text away from interface-covered edges.
