EZ Expand Image vs Uncrop AI

EZ Expand Image adds generated pixels around a photo so it can fit another frame without cropping the subject. The web tool accepts JPG, PNG, and WEBP files up to 10 MB, with presets for TikTok Cover and Instagram Story at 9:16, YouTube Thumbnail at 16:9, and an X header ratio. Its described process analyzes the image, composes a prompt, and expands the surrounding area to the selected ratio; the source photo itself remains unchanged. Signed-in users can expand as many as five photos at once and download the results in one click. The maker says the generated expansions have a permissive commercial-use license and uploaded photos are not used to train AI models. Source photos are deleted after 24 hours, while generated files are removed after signed URLs expire, except for briefly retained guest previews. The free tier includes two guest previews and five one-time signup credits. One-time packs start at 2.99 USD, while monthly plans start at 9.99 USD. The service is intended for creators adapting photos to social formats, rather than general photo editing.

Uncrop AI is a web-based photo editor offering AI tools for changing and extending images. Its main uncrop function generates background content beyond a photo’s original edges, with multiple aspect ratios available for different layouts. The site also lists generative fill, face swap, hairstyle generation, headshot generation, and watermark removal. To use the service, upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP image, wait for AI processing, and download the result; the homepage says no signup is required. Uploads can be up to 10MB. The tools are presented as free and without watermarks, with unlimited free usage on the Free plan at free. Suggested uses include e-commerce photography, social media, print design, and web design. For better results, the uncrop page recommends high-quality images with clear subjects, good lighting, and simple or patterned backgrounds. The homepage describes the tools as privacy protected, while its linked privacy policy returned a 404 when opened. Support is listed at [email protected].
