Avoid Product Redundancy:

Crait AI is trained to keep your product's shape and color as they are. However, sometimes the image results may distort from the artificial intelligence orientation, especially if the product image is positioned incorrectly on the canvas.

For instance, if the product image is placed in a very small area on the canvas, the AI might try to make the image closer to the prompt by generating more of your product in the same scene. To avoid such scenarios, make sure that your prompt and product dimensions on the canvas are aligned. Also, product position on the canvas is important and should be aligned with the prompt or inspiration image.

Please see some examples below:

A small cup placed on a table in the scene, but multiple different cups are generated.

A painting, positioned on the lower side of the canvas, resulting in an incoherence.

A large sofa with prompt : “beside a tv in a living room” . Scene prompt has details however product is covering the whole canvas, resulting in a plain background that doesn't match the prompt.

"Expand tool" is helping you to change the dimensions of your image by expanding the image from its borders.

To use "Expand Tool" , follow these steps:

1. Once your creation is completed, review your results images on the "Result"

page or in your "Projects" section on the Creative Suite tab.

2. See the "AI Edit" tools on the left menu and select the "Expand"

3. Choose sizes from the list, you can enter custom sizes, too.

4. Once you select your desired dimensions, you will see a positioning option at the canvas.

5. Position your image at the canvas to choose the areas to expand.

6. Click the "Crait Now" and apply your image. The AI will process and make the necessary adjustments.

7. Check the edited image. If satisfied, "Save" or "Download" it. If not, you can revert and try again.

Tip: as the expanding region increases, there can be a noticeable loss in the content fidelity of the original image. To address this, we recommend adopting an iterative expanding approach. For instance, you can progressively increase the expanding scale from 1:1 to 1:2, then from 1:2 to 1:3, and finally to 1:4. This method helps to gradually adapt the extended areas, thereby better preserving the context and integrity of the original image.

You can use the AI Edit and Magic Erase tools to enhance and clean specific parts of the image. However, if you prefer to adjust an image by correcting any AI-generated anomalies, you can use the Repair tool. Simply click on it to see the improvements applied to the image.
