Does AI expand upload my image?

Local edge extension runs locally and doesn't upload; if you use cloud generative expand, the image is sent over HTTPS for cloud processing and cleared per the privacy policy afterward.

How is expanding different from resizing the canvas?

Resizing the canvas only adds blank space; AI expand fills the new area with content (edge extension or AI generation) for a complete image.

Can I turn a landscape into a portrait?

Yes. Extend top and bottom to make a landscape vertical, or left and right to make a portrait horizontal.

Free to use online, no signup. Local expand is entirely free; cloud generative expand is processed by cloud AI.
