Quick start (free): Playground AI Canvas
- Go to Playground AI, open Canvas.
- Upload your image. Resize canvas outward to the size you want.
- Use the brush to mask the new empty borders only.
- Prompt: describe the scene, composition, and style; add negatives like “text, watermark, extra limbs”.
- Model: pick SDXL (or SDXL Lightning for speed). CFG ~5–7, steps 25–35 to start.
- Generate; iterate by re-masking edges and refining the prompt. Use small expansions in multiple passes for best coherence.
Alternative (paid under $10): Mage.Space Pro (~$9)
- Sign up Pro, open SDXL Canvas/Editor.
- Upload image, enlarge the canvas, mask only the new borders.
- Model: SDXL or SDXL Turbo; start with CFG 5–7, steps 20–30.
- Generate; iterate in smaller rings for consistent perspective and lighting. Use negative prompt for artifacts.
Tips for better results
- Expand in small steps (e.g., 10–20% per pass) rather than one big jump.
- Keep prompts consistent; specify time of day, lens/focal length, and materials.
- Use a short negative prompt: “blurry, low-res, text, signature, watermark, extra hands, extra objects”.
- If faces/objects warp, re-mask just that area and regenerate.
Want me to craft a ready-to-paste prompt tailored to your image and desired style? Describe the scene (e.g., “coastal town at dusk, cinematic 35 mm, moody lighting”) and how far you want to extend (e.g., widen left/right 2x).
I’ll use Playground AI Canvas. @help where do I find the Canvas/outpainting workflow in Flux?

Here’s what the Flux documentation says about the Canvas:
“The Canvas is where you'll create your schematic diagram. This is the main workspace where you place components and create connections between them.”

I could not find any documentation for “outpainting” in Flux. This likely means Flux does not offer an outpainting workflow.
