WaveSpeedAI — AI Image Zoom-Out

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.

Image Zoom Out API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/image-zoom-out with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Image Zoom Out below.

HTTP example

Image Zoom Out API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Image Zoom Out API?

Image Zoom Out is a WaveSpeedAI model for image editing, exposed as a REST API 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. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Image Zoom Out API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/image-zoom-out.

How much does Image Zoom Out cost per run?

Image Zoom Out starts at $0.020 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Image Zoom Out accept?

Key inputs: `image`, `size`, `enable_base64_output`, `enable_sync_mode`, `output_format`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/image-zoom-out.

How long does Image Zoom Out take to generate?

Median end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 13 seconds per request, based on recent successful runs. Queue time varies with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.

Can I use Image Zoom Out outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (WaveSpeedAI). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
