If you are on the Pro or Business plan, you can change the size of your image canvas and the AI will resize your design to fit. For example, let's you can turn a landscape design into a portrait design without stretching your image—the AI will draw extra background to fill in any extra space!

Side-by-side versions of the same image. The left version is landscape and the right version is portrait. AI Extend has added extra background to make the design fit the portrait canvas.

We call this "AI Extend" but you access it from the Resize feature in Photoroom. If you are on the Pro or Business plan, AI Extend happens automatically when you resize.

Note: On the Free plan, you do not have access to AI Extend. When you use Resize, only the image canvas will change size. For details, see Resize your designs.

  2. Select the workspace that contains the design you want to resize.

  3. Select Designs and choose the design that you want to resize.

    2. Fill
      To resize the design from the center so that the objects in the design fill the canvas. The design may go outside of the canvas boundaries.

    3. Fit
      To resize the design so that the entire design fits on the canvas. This may leave space around the edges of the canvas.

  6. Either:

    • Select one of the predesigned sizes. Photoroom will apply the chosen size automatically. AI Extend will automatically redraw the background suit the new image size.

    • Enter a Custom size and then select Resize to apply that size.

  7. [Optional] Either:

    • Select Download and then enter the name for the file and choose the format. Select Download to download the image in the browser.

    • Select Share and use the sharing options to share the image with other people.
