PhotosShoot's Zoom Out feature uses AI outpainting to extend your photo beyond its original borders — turning a close-up portrait into a full-body shot, or a tight headshot into a wide environmental scene.
How to use Zoom Out:
1. Open any photo in your PhotosShoot gallery
Click the Zoom Out button (expand icon)Choose how much to expand — small step (1.2x), medium (1.5x), or large (2x)Optionally add a prompt to guide what appears in the new areas (e.g., "coffee shop interior", "outdoor park setting")Generate — the AI fills in the extended areas seamlesslyWhat Zoom Out is great for:
- Portrait to full-body — Expand a tight headshot to show clothing and surroundings
Adding context — Reveal the environment around a subjectFixing crop issues — Recover accidentally cropped edgesCreating wider aspect ratios — Convert a square photo to landscape for banner useSocial media formats — Create 9:16 vertical versions from square photosTips for best results:
- Use a descriptive prompt for the expanded areas — vague prompts can produce inconsistent results
Zoom out in small steps rather than one large jump for more seamless resultsThe AI matches the lighting, style, and colour palette of the original photoIf the result doesn't match well, regenerate with a more specific promptZoom Out works on both AI-generated photos and uploaded real photos.
