You can extend a photo in Canva using its AI-powered "Expand" tool, which intelligently fills in the edges of your image. Here's how:
- Select Your Photo: Begin by selecting the photo you wish to extend within your Canva design.
- Click "Edit image": Locate and click the "Edit image" button, usually found in the top toolbar after selecting the image.
- Navigate to "Crop/Expand": Within the "Edit image" options, look for a "Crop/Expand" tab or option. It might be located in different places depending on Canva's current interface.
- Choose an Aspect Ratio under "Expand": Under the "Expand" settings, you'll find various aspect ratios. Select the one that best suits your needs for extending the image (e.g., 1:1, 3:2, 16:9, or even customize). This will determine how Canva extends the image.
- Click "Expand": Finally, click the "Expand" button. Canva's AI will analyze your image and intelligently generate content to fill the newly created space around the original photo. This process might take a few moments.
Canva's AI will attempt to seamlessly blend the extended area with the existing image content. While usually effective, the results can vary depending on the complexity of the original photo. You might need to experiment with different aspect ratios or regenerate the extension if you're not happy with the initial outcome.
