DALL·E: Introducing Outpainting

Extend creativity and tell a bigger story with DALL-E images of any size

Original outpainting by Emma Catnip

Today we’re introducing Outpainting, a new feature which helps users extend their creativity by continuing an image beyond its original borders — adding visual elements in the same style, or taking a story in new directions — simply by using a natural language description.

if (value === 'end-result') { endResult.style.display = 'block'; timelapse.style.display = 'none'; timelapse.pause(); timelapse.currentTime = 0; } else if (value === 'timelapse') { endResult.style.display = 'none'; timelapse.style.display = 'block'; timelapse.play(); } }





Original: Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer
Outpainting: August Kamp

DALL·E’s Edit feature already enables changes within a generated or uploaded image — a capability known as Inpainting. Now, with Outpainting, users can extend the original image, creating large-scale images in any aspect ratio. Outpainting takes into account the image’s existing visual elements — including shadows, reflections, and textures — to maintain the context of the original image.

More than one million people are using DALL·E, the AI system that generates original images and artwork from a natural language description, as a creative tool today. Artists have already created remarkable images with the new Outpainting feature, and helped us better understand its capabilities in the process.
