Question 1

How much can I extend in one pass?

Accepted Answer

Up to the next standard ratio (e.g. 1:1 → 3:2). Extending more than ~50% in one direction reduces consistency. For larger extensions, run multi-step: outpaint twice in the same direction.

Question 2

Will the extension match my image's style?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the prompt scaffold tells the model to preserve lighting, perspective, and style. The result is usually seamless. For tricky styles (heavily stylised art, hand-drawn), provide style cues in your prompt.

Question 3

Can I outpaint in any direction?

Accepted Answer

Yes — top, bottom, left, right, or any combination. Specify in your prompt: 'extend left and right for a 16:9 banner'. The model fills naturally based on what's in the original.

Question 4

How is this different from inpainting?

Accepted Answer

Inpainting fills a masked region inside an existing image. Outpainting adds new canvas outside the image and fills it. Both use the same model — outpainting is just inpainting on the new outer regions.

Question 5

Can I crop after outpainting?

Accepted Answer

Yes — outpaint generously then crop in the workspace to your exact target. This often produces better results than asking for a precise final aspect, since the model has more context to work with.
