Frequently asked questions about the image extender
What to expect when you extend a photo with Picverce AI.
You pick a new shape, and Picverce AI places your photo inside that frame. The AI paints the empty area so the scene continues past the old edges. Your original pixels are put back on top at the end, so the part you uploaded stays exactly as it was.
