The expand image with AI app built by our partner Droxic, allows Frontify customers to extend images beyond their original borders using Generative AI. Built as a native DAM extension, it helps teams adapt visuals to new formats and aspect ratios without manual editing, while keeping the original image intact.
This tool can expand imagery with or without a prompt, intelligently generating new content that blends seamlessly with the existing asset.
