Size mode
Width and height must be multiples of 16, with at most 3,840 px per side, 655,360–8,294,400 total pixels and an aspect ratio no wider than 3:1.
Transparent · Preview
Transparent output is a preview feature. Check the alpha channel and edges before using the image.
Compare up to 10 outputs
