Photo Extender — make any photo fit the frame

You can try Kenerate's photo extender without paying: new accounts get starter credits, and there's no subscription required. After that you buy credits only if you want more runs. There is no plan gate, every model is available to every account, failed runs are refunded automatically, and results download without a watermark.

Upload it to Expand Image and pick 9:16, the shape labelled for Stories, Reels and TikTok. For a horizontal photo, the tool grows the top and bottom; choose top, centre or bottom to decide where the new area goes. Optionally describe it, such as 'more sky above, more sand below', then download.

Yes. Expand Image works in the phone browser with nothing to install: upload from your camera roll, pick a shape or grow the edges, place the photo and run it. Results save to your device without a watermark and also stay in your Kenerate History, so you can open them later on a computer.

The original photo is kept where it is; only the new area is painted. The tool's instruction tells the model to keep the photo's content, position and scale unchanged. Models can occasionally retouch near the seam, so check faces at the edge, and pick Nano Banana 2, which the tool lists for keeping faces consistent.

Because each model answers at its own size: GPT models at 1024 px square or 1536 px on the long side, Nano Banana 2 at about 1 MP, Nano Banana 2 Fast at about 4 MP. For a large print or a 4K screen, send the result to Upscale from the result screen.

Yes. Switch to Grow edges and set only the side you want, from 0 to 100% of the photo's width or height in 5% steps. That is handy for adding space next to a person for a caption, or extending only the sky. The presets +10, +25 and +50% grow every side at once.
