When to use this workflow
This hub is built for users who already have a source image and need a controlled result instead of a blank-canvas text-to-image output.
Social crops, thumbnails, banners, product hero images, and wider concept scenes.
Users who need the same visual idea adapted to multiple aspect ratios.
Creators who want a scene to feel larger without manually rebuilding the image.

Workflow FAQ
Does ImageRift support outpainting?
ImageRift supports source-guided aspect expansion and reframing. It is best described as canvas expansion rather than a pixel-level manual outpainting editor.
Which aspect ratios can I use?
The app supports source, square, portrait, and landscape output directions. Exact availability still follows active plan and generation settings.
