Bria Expand API

Bria Expand

Bria Expand extends an image beyond its original borders with intelligent outpainting. Keep the original content intact while the model hallucinates plausible surroundings, matching lighting, perspective, and texture. Built on licensed training data for safe commercial use in banners, thumbnails, hero images, and cinematic wides.

✨ Highlights

• Context-aware outpainting: expands left/right/top/bottom while preserving subject integrity.
• Layout control: choose a target aspect ratio (e.g., 16:9, 9:16) to fit ads, covers, or reels.
• Production-ready pipeline: synchronous result retrieval or async polling; URL or BASE64 output.
• Compositional consistency: lighting and perspective blend naturally with the original image.

🧩 Parameters (1:1 with the panel)

• image* (required) Input image (URL or upload). This is preserved; the model generates the new perimeter around it.

• aspect_ratio* (dropdown, required) Target canvas proportion after expansion (e.g., 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, etc.). The model expands to reach this ratio.

🚀 How to Use (panel flow)

1. Upload/Paste image (required). Start with a clean, reasonably high-res shot.
2. Select aspect_ratio to match your target placement (e.g., 16:9 for banners, 9:16 for shorts).
3. Click Run to generate the expanded canvas and download.

Tip: If a side looks too “invented,” try a slightly different ratio (e.g., from 16:9 to 3:2) or crop the original to nudge composition before expanding again.

💰 Pricing

• Per run: $0.04

🧠 Workflow Tips

• Plan the frame: choose the final placement (web hero, mobile cover) first, then set aspect_ratio.
• Edge cleanliness: if seams appear, run a mild feather/refine-edge pass or a quick inpainting touch on the borders.
• Brand safety: avoid generating around logos/trademarks that must remain untouched—mask and lock them in post if needed.
• Batch resizing: standardize on a few aspect ratios (e.g., 1:1, 4:5, 16:9, 9:16) to streamline campaigns.
