Turn a single vertical photo into a versatile asset for any digital need. With our AI tool, you can transform a portrait-oriented shot into a wide-screen hero image for your website, a compelling YouTube thumbnail, or an eye-catching Facebook banner. Stop letting restrictive aspect ratios dictate your creative vision. Our converter helps you adapt your best images for any platform by intelligently expanding the background, ensuring your content always looks its best and fits perfectly where you need it.

Repurpose Any Photo for Any Platform

This isn't your average stretching or cropping tool. Pixelcut’s converter uses advanced AI outpainting to analyze the context of your photo and generate new, realistic details on either side. For example, it can extend a city skyline, add more of the ocean to a beach photo, or fill out a forest scene. The technology understands your image's content and style, creating additions that blend in perfectly and preserve the quality and focus of your original subject without any distortion or strange artifacts.

Achieve a perfectly composed horizontal image that looks like it was originally shot that way. The AI ensures that the newly generated sides of your photo seamlessly merge with the existing picture. It matches lighting, textures, and perspective to create a single, cohesive, and natural-looking landscape. Whether you are fixing an awkwardly framed photo or creating an expansive panoramic view, the result is a high-resolution image ready for professional use, personal projects, or printing.

Create Flawless, Natural-Looking Landscapes

It's Fast: Convert your image from a vertical to a horizontal format in seconds. It’s Easy: Simply upload your photo, type a prompt, and let the AI do the rest. No complex editing software is required. It's Smart: Our context-aware AI intelligently generates new scenery that logically fits your original image, avoiding distortion. Fixes Framing: Easily correct photos that were framed too tightly or cropped incorrectly by expanding the scene. Preserves Quality: Keep every detail of your original photo intact while extending the canvas to a new orientation.
