Image Zoom Out API Documentation
Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!Professional AI model that generates zoomed-out and outpainted images by expanding an input photo beyond its original frame. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
Features
The AI Image Zoom-Out model seamlessly expands the visible area of any photo or artwork. Using WaveSpeedAI’s high-fidelity diffusion outpainting engine, it intelligently reconstructs what lies beyond the frame — maintaining realistic lighting, perspective, and artistic consistency.
⚙️ Key Features
-
Intelligent Outpainting Extends the canvas naturally with accurate context prediction and realistic scene continuation.
-
High-Resolution Support Handles up to 4K output while maintaining detail coherence and smooth color gradients.
-
Context-Aware Composition Preserves perspective, object integrity, and visual storytelling.
-
Multiple Aspect Ratios Choose how far to zoom out — from subtle framing to wide cinematic compositions.
-
Fast Inference Optimized for WaveSpeedAI’s acceleration clusters for rapid, artifact-free results.
💡 Recommended Use Cases
- Expanding AI-generated portraits or landscapes
- Framing close-up photos into wider compositions
- Creating cinematic storyboards or thumbnails
- Preparing content for print, poster, or wallpaper formats
💰 Pricing
Each run costs $0.016 — pay only for the images you expand.
📝 Notes
- Works best when the original image has clear subject boundaries and context.
- For creative scene re-imagining or large-area completions, try the Ultimate Image Eraser for more flexible reconstruction control.
- Output can be saved in JPEG, PNG, or WEBP format.

Task Submission Parameters
Request Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| image | string | Yes | - | The image to generate an image from. | |
| output_format | string | No | jpeg | jpeg, png, webp | The format of the output image. |
| enable_base64_output | boolean | No | false | - | If set to `true`, the prediction's `output` strings are returned as **naked base64** (no `data:<mime>;base64,` prefix). When `false` (default), outputs are returned as URLs pointing to our CDN. |
| enable_sync_mode | boolean | No | false | - | If set to `true`, the request attempts to wait for the generated result and return outputs in the same response. If the result is not ready within the sync wait window, the API can return a timeout body while the task continues processing. This option is only available via the API and is supported only by some models. |
Response Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| code | integer | HTTP status code (e.g., 200 for success) |
| message | string | Status message (e.g., “success”) |
| data.id | string | Unique identifier for the prediction, Task Id |
| data.model | string | Model ID used for the prediction |
| data.outputs | array | Output values, usually URL strings; some models return text strings or structured result objects (empty when status is not completed) |
| data.urls | object | Object containing related API endpoints |
| data.urls.get | string | URL to retrieve the prediction result |
| data.status | string | Status of the task: created, processing, completed, or failed |
| data.created_at | string | ISO timestamp of when the request was created (e.g., “2023-04-01T12:34:56.789Z”) |
| data.error | string | Error message (empty if no error occurred) |
| data.timings | object | Object containing timing details |
| data.timings.inference | integer | Inference time in milliseconds |
Result Request Parameters
