Midjourney zoom out feature explained (with examples)

Midjourney's Zoom Out feature provides an incredible ability to broaden the canvas of an enlarged image beyond its initial boundaries, all while maintaining the integrity of the original picture.

The expanded canvas space is seamlessly filled in, guided by the input prompt and the existing image. Keep in mind, though, that the Zoom Out feature doesn't extend the maximum image size, which remains fixed at 1024px by 1024px.

How it works

Once an image is enlarged on Midjourney, two extra options become available: 🔎 Zoom Out 2X and 🔎 Zoom Out 1.5X. These handy tools give you additional freedom to manipulate the upscaled image, adding another level of flexibility to your creative journey. Give these features a whirl today and redefine how you work with images on Midjourney!

Values are between 0 and 2.
