Images

One hero shot, sized for every placement.

Extend Image is an example of an agent your team can build in Sylvie: give it a single hero image and it extends the canvas into every aspect ratio a campaign needs, the vertical Story, the square feed, the wide banner, the billboard, without cropping the subject or the logo out of frame. It runs on your brand brain, so every extension respects your channel specs, your safe zones and your palette, instead of a recrop that lops off the product. You build the agent once, and it resizes on those rules every time.

What it is

What is the Extend Image agent?

Extend Image is an example of what a creative or design team can build in Sylvie: a workflow that outpaints one approved image into the full set of formats a launch demands. It knows which ratios each channel needs, where your copy and logo safe zones sit and how your photography should look, because it reads them from your brand brain rather than guessing at a fill. Sylvie does not ship it pre-built; you build it on the brand rules you already own.

A photographer delivers one strong landscape hero, and the campaign needs it as a vertical Reel, a square post, a 16:9 pre-roll frame and an email header by Friday. Cropping chops the subject; a reshoot is not happening. An agent built for this extends the canvas instead of cutting into it, painting plausible, on-brand background around the subject so every placement looks shot for its own frame, and the designer skips straight to layout.

How it works

How the Extend Image agent works

Give the agent a source image and the formats you need, or let it read the channel spec from your brand brain: the ratios each platform expects, the safe zones that keep the subject and logo clear of the crop, your palette, your lighting and the imagery rules your brand follows. Because that context is permission-aware, the agent extends within your guidelines instead of inventing a look that is off-brand.

Inside Sylvie it outpaints the canvas to each target ratio, continuing the background, color and lighting so the addition reads as part of the original photo, keeps the focal subject inside the safe zone and leaves room for the copy and logo overlays. You get the full channel set back in one pass, ready for layout or handoff. Because you built the agent on your brain, the next shoot inherits the same safe zones and specs, no reset.

Key benefits

Why teams build this agent

01

One shot, every ratio

A single approved hero becomes the whole placement set, vertical, square, wide and out-of-home, in one pass. The campaign ships on every channel the same day instead of trickling out as each size gets rebuilt.

02

The subject stays in frame

Extending the canvas adds background instead of cropping into the photo, so the product, the face or the logo never gets sliced off to fit a vertical. The thing the shot is about survives every format.

03

Seamless, on-brand fills

The agent continues the real background, color and lighting, so the added space reads as part of the original frame. No smeared edges or obvious AI seams that a client would send straight back.

04

Safe zones respected

Every extension leaves the copy and logo clear space your brand requires, pulled from the brand brain. Layouts drop straight in without a designer nudging the subject to make room.

05

Skip the reshoot

A landscape library becomes vertical-ready without booking a studio or a photographer again. Old assets get a second life across new placements at a fraction of the cost and time.

06

One build, every brand

Stand the agent up once and point it at each client's own specs and safe zones. Every brand gets extensions that follow its own rules, with nothing carried over from another account.

Use cases

Where it goes to work

An image-extension agent pays for itself anywhere one asset has to appear in many shapes. Here is where creative and design teams point one they have built.

One hero into a full paid social set

A launch has one approved hero and needs Meta, TikTok and YouTube placements by the deadline. The agent extends it into 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 and 16:9 with the subject centered and safe zones clear, so the media team gets the whole set in one pass and the campaign goes live on every platform at once.

Landscape asset into a vertical Reel

A strong horizontal shot has to become a full-screen Story without decapitating the model. The agent paints the frame taller instead of cropping in, so the vertical looks native to the format and the social team posts it the day the brief lands, no reshoot required.

Out-of-home from a web-res hero

A relaunch needs billboard and transit sizes, but all that exists is the web hero. The agent extends the canvas to the wide out-of-home ratios with room for the headline, so the OOH placements move into production without waiting on a new shoot.

Email header from a product square

The only asset is a square product photo and the newsletter needs a wide banner. The agent extends it into the email header and website hero dimensions, matching the background seamlessly, so the campaign gets its banners the same afternoon instead of routing back to design.

Getting more from one photoshoot

A shoot delivered a handful of crops and the campaign calls for a dozen ratios. The agent turns each usable frame into every placement the plan needs, so a single shoot day covers the whole channel matrix and the budget stretches across more assets.

An agency resizing across many brands

A studio ships assets for several clients, each with its own safe zones and logo rules. One agent, pointed at each brand brain, extends images to the right specs per client, so the team turns around resizes for the whole roster without a designer memorizing every brand's grid.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Cropping throws away the subject and a generic outpaint tool invents whatever background it likes with no idea of your safe zones or palette. This agent is built on your brand brain, so it extends within your channel specs, keeps the subject clear of the crop and matches your look. You get placement-ready assets, not a fill you have to fix.

Yes. It reads your copy and logo safe zones from the brand brain and keeps the focal subject inside them while it extends, leaving deliberate clear space for overlays. The product, the face and the lockup stay where a layout expects them in every ratio.

No. Sylvie does not sell a pre-built Extend Image product; this page is an example of an agent your team assembles in Sylvie. You build it on your brand brain and your own format list, so it reflects the exact ratios, safe zones and imagery rules your work has to follow.

Your brand brain holds your channel spec sheet, aspect ratios, safe zones, palette, lighting and imagery guidelines, plus your logo clear-space rules, all permission-aware. The agent reads from it on every extension, so the output follows your standards by default and a new starter cannot ship an off-spec asset.

That is the point of building it rather than buying it. You define the ratios, the safe zones, the fill style and the guardrails, and as your brand's specs change in the brain, the agent's output changes with them. The same build can serve one brand or a full client roster.

Each brand brain is isolated and permission-aware, so one client's unreleased hero never surfaces in another account's work. The agent only reads the assets and rules you allow and keeps embargoed creative inside your own brain, not in a shared model. You decide what it can touch and what it can output.
