Convert a landscape photo into a portrait photo without cutting the subject.
ExampleUpload the landscape photo you want to convert. You can start with a horizontal photo of a person, product, landscape, building, or any other subject.
Select the portrait format you need, such as 9:16 for TikTok, Instagram Stories, and YouTube Shorts, or 4:5 for social media posts. The right ratio depends on where you plan to use the image.
Click to generate and let the landscape to portrait AI extend the image vertically. Instead of simply cropping the sides, AI creates additional visual content to fit the new portrait composition.
Check the converted image to make sure the new areas blend naturally with the original photo. If the result looks right, download your portrait image and use it for your social posts, ads, thumbnails, or other vertical content.
A landscape photo may look fine in a desktop feed but leave large empty areas when placed in a vertical post. Converting landscape to portrait gives you a format that fits mobile-first platforms more naturally.
Use the resulting image for:
Different platforms require different dimensions. You can create a 9:16 image for full-screen vertical content, a 4:5 image for social feeds, or a 2:3 composition for photography and editorial use.
The right ratio also depends on the original composition. A photo with a person standing near the center may work well in 9:16, while a product or architectural image may be better suited to a less extreme vertical ratio.
Some landscape photos already contain a strong focal point but lack enough space around it for a vertical layout. AI expansion can create additional context without requiring you to manually recreate the scene in an image editor.
For example, a landscape portrait can gain more ceiling and floor space, while an outdoor photo can gain more sky, ground, or surrounding scenery.
You do not always need separate photos for horizontal and vertical campaigns. A landscape image from an existing photo library can be adapted for new placements when the original subject and background provide enough room for expansion.
This can be useful for ecommerce teams, content creators, photographers, and marketers working with large collections of existing images.
The quality of a landscape to portrait conversion depends heavily on the original composition.
Portrait images take up more screen space on mobile devices and are widely used for vertical social media formats. Converting an existing landscape image can make it suitable for these placements without requiring a completely new photo.
The AI examines the existing image and determines what visual elements could continue beyond its original boundaries. It then generates additional image content to create a taller composition.
Yes. A landscape image can be adapted to common Instagram portrait formats such as 4:5. For Stories and Reels, 9:16 is generally more suitable.
No. The best ratio depends on where you plan to use the image and how the original photo is composed. 9:16 is useful for full-screen vertical content, while 4:5 can work better when you want to retain more of the original horizontal composition.
Images with a distinct subject and expandable surroundings tend to produce better results. Open backgrounds, skies, walls, floors, landscapes, and architectural environments give AI more contextual information to work with.
Yes. AI-based expansion can preserve the existing part of the image while creating additional space around it. This is different from simply cropping a landscape image into a narrow vertical frame.
