Vertical to Horizontal Image Converter
Place a portrait photo onto a widescreen canvas with a blurred, stretched, or solid-color backdrop. Everything renders locally in your browser.
How the vertical-to-horizontal converter works
Portrait photos and screenshots don't fit widescreen slots — YouTube thumbnails, blog headers, Twitter/X banners, and video timelines are all landscape. This tool builds a new canvas at your chosen landscape ratio, fills the empty space on either side of your image with a blurred and scaled copy of the same photo (so the backdrop always matches), a sharp stretched copy, or a flat color, then places your original image centered on top at full, unscaled resolution so it never loses quality. The result is exported as a single PNG. All rendering happens on an HTML canvas in your browser — the image is never uploaded anywhere. For the reverse operation, or general resizing, try the Image Resizer or the Image Cropper.
Private & free — this tool runs entirely in your browser.
