Resize a Photo to 24×36 Without Cropping
24×36 is the big one — the cinema-poster size — and it is 2:3, the shape of a camera photo rather than a phone photo. Upload yours below and we'll extend the scene to fill the whole poster instead of cropping it down to fit.

Why 24×36 Cuts Things Off
24×36 is 2:3, the same proportions as a 4×6 print and most DSLR frames, so a camera photo fits it and a 3:4 phone photo does not: filling the poster with one shaves roughly an eighth off its sides. At this scale the loss is conspicuous, because a poster is usually a single subject with space around it, and the space is exactly what a crop eats. Extending puts the missing width back as more of the same scene.
Instead of trimming your photo down to the shape, we generate more of the scene around it until it fits — and sharpen the whole image in the same pass.

24×36 Questions
How sharp is a photo at 24×36?
We deliver 24×36 at about 3,265×4,900 pixels, which is roughly 135 pixels per inch. That is normal for large-format printing: a poster this size is viewed from a metre or more away, where the eye cannot resolve more detail than that. Up close it will not look like a small print held at arm's length, and no upscaler changes that.
Can I get 24×36 in landscape?
Yes — swap the numbers in the size fields after uploading, and the scene is extended sideways instead of vertically.
