When part of your case stays empty after you drop a photo in, the score flags Insufficient Coverage. The fastest fix is AI Expand.

How to use it
- Tap your image to select it.
- Tap the wand in the image toolbar.
- Choose AI Expand. You'll see "Generating, please wait…" for a few seconds.
- The app extends your image outward to fill the print area — sky stretches into more sky, fabric into more fabric, etc.
What works best
AI Expand shines when the photo's edges have continuous, predictable content the AI can extend:
- Landscapes — sky, sand, water, foliage
- Textures and fabric — clothing, walls, gradients
- Plain backgrounds — solid or near-solid colors
For tight portraits, busy repeat patterns, or photos with logos and text right at the edge, the AI has less to work with — try one of these instead: drag the image larger, switch to a Frame layout, or pick a Background color that fills behind the image.
