VEED's AI Background Expand uses AI outpainting to extend your frame. It’s like content aware fill, but for video.

FAQ
AI Background Expand is VEED's AI expander for video, similar to generative expand in Photoshop or content aware fill in image editing, but designed for video footage. Our video outpainting technology uses AI to seamlessly extend backgrounds, allowing marketers to change the aspect ratio of any size video.
No, this AI extender is specifically for video. While AI image extenders work on static photos, video outpainting technology is far more complex. The extended video background maintains temporal consistency across hundreds of frames, so it moves naturally without flickering.
Use VEED's AI extender to uncrop a video and expand the background:
- Click your clip on the editor timeline, go to AI Tools, and select AI Background Expand.
- Confirm your target aspect ratio and let the AI analyze your footage frame by frame.
- Once complete, your expanded video automatically replaces the original.

- Supported formats: All major file formats like MP4, MOV, AVI, and WebM
- Input/output aspect ratios: Vertical (9:16), horizontal (16:9), square (1:1) Convert between any aspect ratio — TikTok vertical to YouTube landscape, landscape to portrait for Instagram Stories, and more.
The AI expander is perfect for social media managers repurposing content across platforms while maintaining a polished, on-brand look. You can use this tool for:
- Adapting landscape product demos (like YouTube videos) into vertical formats for TikTok and Reels with key visuals remaining in frame
