How Do I Extend the Background of a Picture Without Photoshop?

First, you’ll need a quality image to work with. The better the quality, the better the final product will be. Once you have your image, open it in an editing program like Photoshop.

Then, using the clone stamp tool, start by cloning a small area of the background. Hold down the option key (Mac) or alt key (PC) and click on an area of the background that you want to copy.

Then, with the clone stamp tool selected, hover over the area you just cloned and click. This will clone that area and you can then move it to wherever you want in the background.

Repeat this process until you have extended the background as much as you need. Once you’re happy with the results, save your image and you’re done!

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, extending the background of a picture without Photoshop can lead to a distorted image. Make sure to keep the proportions of the original image in mind when adding new pixels, or you may end up with an oddly shaped result.

So there you have it! A quick and easy way to extend the background of an image without Photoshop. Just remember to use a high quality image to start with for best results.
