A vertical photo that needs to be a website banner: cropping loses the subject, stretching distorts it. Outpainting is the third option — the original stays untouched and the model paints the scene beyond its edges.

## Default pipeline

2. Choose a target ratio
3. Position the original
4. Outpaint
5. Export

## How to use

1. Upload the image.
2. Choose the target ratio.
3. Decide where the original sits in the new frame.
4. Check the seams in the result.
