Outpaint
Extend your canvas, select a blank area and automatically fill it with content that seamlessly blends into the existing image.
03
Generate
Create new images from scratch by decribing them with words or existing images. Supports SD1.5 and SDXL.
04
Refine
Use the strength slider to refine existing image content instead of replacing it entirely. This also works great for adding new things to an image by painting a (crude) approximation and refining at high strength!
