Expand grows a photo beyond its original edges. Pick a new aspect ratio, and Flowy fills in the scene past each side, so a tight crop never feels cut off.
Where to find it
Open /image/expand directly, press ⌘ K and search “Expand”, or find it in the Image area of the left sidebar.
What you need
What it costs
56 credits per run. This figure is an estimate. Flowy shows a live estimate in the panel before you run. The backend’s pricing is always authoritative.
Tips
- Expand runs on Flowy’s dedicated image-expansion backend op: a separate pipeline from the canvas’s node-based Outpaint tool, which lets you drag expansion handles directly on a canvas node. Reach for Expand when you want a one-shot ratio change outside a project; use the canvas tool when you’re already iterating on an image there.
- Expand only changes an image’s frame. It’s a different tool from reframing a video’s aspect ratio.
