Extend photos for the size you actually need
Four presets with the right aspect ratio and framing already locked in — no manual math.
We picked these four because they are where the gap between a phone-shot photo and a target screen or print size hurts the most. Desktop and phone wallpapers each need a different aspect ratio than most photos are shot in; print posters need a paper-matching ratio, and their final pixel size still needs checking against your printer's DPI requirement; and photos that start small — an old scan, a screenshot, a thumbnail — come back at a standard, consistent size instead of staying stuck at the source's tiny dimensions. Each preset locks the aspect ratio, pre-loads a direction tuned for that use case, and points to the related aspect pages for cross-checks.
Extend Photos into Desktop Wallpapers
Someone with a photo they love who wants it to actually fill a wide desktop monitor without stretching or letterboxing.
- ▸ 16:9 widescreen framing, fits any monitor size
- ▸ Subject stays untouched — only the background grows
- ▸ No stretching or letterboxing
Extend Photos into Phone Wallpapers
Someone with a square or landscape photo who wants a true full-screen phone wallpaper instead of a cropped or zoomed-in version.
- ▸ 9:16 full-screen framing for mainstream Android and iPhone screens
- ▸ Keeps the subject centered and untouched
- ▸ Lock-screen-safe top and bottom margins
Extend Photos into a Standard, Consistent Size
Someone whose source photo is small, an old scan, a screenshot, or otherwise low-resolution — and wants it extended to a usable, consistent size without a separate tool.
- ▸ Every extend outputs a standard, consistent size regardless of how small the source was
- ▸ Best for small screenshots, old scans, or thumbnail-sized photos
- ▸ Honest limit: an already high-resolution source won't come back larger — see our honest-limits article
Extend Photos into Poster-Shaped Prints
Someone preparing a photo for a printed poster who needs it reshaped to a specific paper's aspect ratio without losing the subject to a crop.
- ▸ Matches common poster paper ratios (8×10in, 16×20in) without cropping the subject
- ▸ Print-safe trim margin on every edge
- ▸ Check the file's actual pixel size against your printer's DPI requirement before ordering a large print
