Expand the frame

Outpaint beyond the original edges to widen or heighten a shot.

To expand the frame in Breme, open an image, choose Expand, and drag the canvas past the original edges in any direction. Breme outpaints new scenery into the added space, matched to what was already there, so you can widen or heighten a shot beyond its original borders.

Common questions

How is expand different from reframe?

Expand outpaints new scenery beyond the original edges, adding to the image. Reframe recomposes within a new aspect ratio. Use expand to gain space the original never had.

Which directions can I expand?

Any direction. Pull the canvas out to the sides, the top, or the bottom, and Breme fills the new area.

Will the new area match the original?

Yes. Breme paints the added scenery to match the existing image so the wider frame reads as one shot.
