Artificial intelligence is transforming the world of image editing and graphic design. And this is especially the case with the editing of poorly framed photos! What could be more frustrating than having a great photo or a perfect image to illustrate a project, but which ends up poorly framed, too zoomed in or does not include enough decorations around a central element?
That's where Uncrop comes in! Uncrop is a online tool that allows you to use artificial intelligence to imagine what is outside the frame of a photo or image!
Expand the crop of a photo or image with Uncrop
ClipDrop is a site that offers a whole series of partially free image editing tools that are based on artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms. The site thus offers different tools for remove background, remove objects, erase text, enlarge a photo… but also a tool to widen the frame of an image: Uncrop.
This incredible tool will therefore generate in a few seconds a new background around your image, to allow you to enlarge it by going outside the frame! Moreover, it also works to delete certain parts of an image.
The interface of this tool based on Stable Diffusion XL is very easy to use and the AI works very quickly.
To use it, first load the image you want to crop.
Then you will be able to define the areas (top, bottom, left, right) that you want to widen. It is also possible to use predefined formats (portrait, landscape, square).
Then press “Next” to put the AI to work.
The tool will then make you 4 proposals that you can view independently. If none of them suit you, no problem, you can restart the engine by clicking on the blue arrow to the right to start generating 4 new images.
This “miracle” is made possible by advanced deep learning techniques that analyze the content of the image we choose to edit and generate a visually plausible representation of what could have been there. In simple terms, Uncrop “imagines” what could be in the parts of the image that have been cropped or are outside the frame, and then adds it to the image. It’s absolutely crazy, because the result is often very believable or at least totally usable!
Well, to be honest, the result is not always satisfactory and the AI sometimes goes into big madness... but overall this tool should continue to improve and it is already a very powerful tool.
Ultimately, Uncrop will prove particularly useful to anyone who needs more detail in their images, but doesn't have the means to obtain it. For example, if you have a vertical photo of a person and you want it horizontal, there aren't many options; Uncrop is able to convert it to horizontal by adding extra elements by looking at the details of the original photo.
In short, Uncrop is a pretty incredible and particularly useful tool!
