Generative fill for video: Change aspect ratios by expanding your frame

Recorded a square video, but need it in widescreen? Shot in horizontal, but need to fill in vertical screens for Reels? VEED's AI generative fill extends your video frame to fit any platform. No more awkward cropping and black bars. No need for reshoots.

Upload videos up to 1 minute in length, and let the AI fill in the expanded areas to match your scene. Adapt vertical phone footage for YouTube. Transform landscape videos for TikTok and Reels. The generative fill tool analyzes your footage and creates natural extensions frame by frame.

How to use generative fill for video:

Step 1

Upload and select your video clip

Click your video on the editor canvas. Navigate to Video Properties and select AI Background Expand under Magic Tools. Choose your target aspect ratio: vertical, horizontal, or square.

Step 2

Extend your frame with AI generative fill

The generative fill AI processes your video, expanding the frame to your chosen dimensions. It fills in new areas by analyzing your original footage, maintaining visual consistency across every frame.

Step 3

Export the resized video

Your expanded video replaces the original clip. Toggle the expansion to compare before and after. Add text overlays, auto-subtitles, or other edits. Export your polished video.

Generative fill technology for video footage

Photo editors use generative fill to expand static images. VEED brings that technology to video with AI that understands motion and temporal consistency. Our generative fill tool maintains coherence across video frames. Expand product demos to add space for CTAs. Resize vlogs from one platform format to another. All without sacrificing quality or losing key visuals. While most expansion tools work on clips up to 10 seconds long, AI Background Expand supports videos up to 1 minute in length.

Remove unwanted elements with a creative workaround

Someone walked through your shot? Clutter in the corner of your frame? Here's a workaround: crop your video to remove the unwanted element, then use our AI generative fill to restore the frame. The AI fills in the cropped area with a background that matches your scene. It's not traditional object removal, but it's effective for quick fixes like removing distracting elements on a frame's edge. For complete background replacement, you can try our AI background remover.

One generative fill tool, multiple video formats

Stop creating separate videos for each platform. Our generative fill online tool adapts one video to every format you need. Expand vertical videos to landscape for YouTube. Convert horizontal content to vertical for Stories. Resize square videos to widescreen for presentations. Social media managers can repurpose content faster while maintaining professional quality across platforms.
