Five Iconic Album Covers Outpainted With Dall-E2 AI

Midnights album by Taylor Swift. Outpainted by Jim Clyde Monge

OpenAI’s Dall-E2 text-to-image generator’s latest trick allows you to expand an image beyond its original edges. This new feature is called "outpainting."

Outpainting will allow you to extend and add fishes around the baby in Nirvana’s Nevermind album art because, why the hell not?

In this article, I put the new feature to the test by extending five iconic album artworks seamlessly. Let’s see what they look like.

The Beatles — Abbey Road

This Beatles album art was shot on the morning of August 8, 1969, and created the most famous zebra crossing in the world.

I didn’t really add a lot of artifacts on the side. Just extended the trees and added the baby and the red car.

It looks pretty cool, right?
