Bria Expand
Bria Expand costs $0.048/image on FairStack — a image editing model for Turning square crops into wide or tall formats, Adding headroom or side space for text/layout, Marketing and social asset reframing. No subscription required. Pay per generation with full REST API access. FairStack applies a transparent 20% margin on infrastructure cost so you always see the real price.
What is Bria Expand?
Bria Expand outpaints an image beyond its original edges, generating new content that continues the scene in-style. Give it an image plus a target canvas size (width and height in pixels) and it fills the surrounding area — turn a tight square crop into a wide 16:9 banner, add headroom above a subject, or extend a background so there is room for text and layout. This is the generative counterpart to a plain crop: instead of throwing pixels away, it invents plausible new pixels that match lighting, texture, and composition. It differs from Ideogram V3 Reframe (which re-frames to a preset aspect ratio) by letting you drive the exact output canvas and where the original sits within it — the directional, pixel-precise 'expand the borders' workflow. An optional text prompt guides what appears in the new area. Bria is a commercially-licensed, rights-cleared image source, which matters for teams shipping product and marketing imagery. At a flat $0.04 per image it is one of the cheapest generative-edit operations in the catalog. Available on FairStack at infrastructure cost plus a 20% platform fee — and, unlike opaque credit platforms, you see the exact price before you generate.

What is Bria Expand and what is it best for?

Bria Expand is best for Turning square crops into wide or tall formats, Adding headroom or side space for text/layout, Marketing and social asset reframing. Available via FairStack's REST API with curl, Python, and Node.js SDKs.
Does Bria Expand have an API?
Yes. Bria Expand is available via FairStack's REST API at api.fairstack.ai. Send a POST request to /v1/generations/image with your API key and prompt. Works with curl, Python requests, Node.js fetch, and any HTTP client. No SDK installation required.
How does Bria Expand compare to other image models?
Bria Expand excels at Turning square crops into wide or tall formats, Adding headroom or side space for text/layout, Marketing and social asset reframing. It is a image editing model priced at $0.048/image on FairStack. Key strengths: Precise directional expansion via canvas_size, Cheap ($0.04) generative edit. Compare all image models at fairstack.ai/models.
How is Expand different from Reframe?
Reframe (Ideogram V3 Reframe) re-frames an image to a preset aspect ratio and generatively fills the new area. Expand (Bria Expand) lets you drive the exact output canvas size in pixels and where the original image sits within it — the directional, pixel-precise 'extend the borders' workflow.
What do I need to provide?
An input image plus a target canvas_size as [width, height] in pixels (passed via options). Optionally an aspect_ratio, a prompt to guide the newly generated area, a negative_prompt, and a seed.
Why is Expand on fal.ai and not the cheaper providers?
No Kie.ai or RunPod model offers directional canvas outpaint today — their closest capability is aspect reframe. FairStack routes Expand to fal.ai because it is the only provider with the capability, and shows you the exact $0.04 + 20% price before you generate.
