How it works

The photo is put on a larger canvas, to a shape or by pixels on each side, and an inpainting model continues it into the new area. That suits a studio backdrop, a table, a wall or sky. It does not invent content: a product cut off at the edge stays cut off. Or fill the new area with white or a colour.
