Why we like it

Enlarge Your Camera offers two distinct methods for holding a framing when resolution changes, letting users choose between preserving perspective and keeping the focal length fixed.

What is Enlarge Your Camera?

Enlarge Your Camera addresses a common Blender situation: when you add pixels to a render's resolution, the aspect ratio changes and your carefully set composition shifts. The add-on maintains the frame when the render aspect ratio is changed, so a composition can become wider or taller while the framing stays within the render.

You enter a number and press "Add margins" to widen the render by that many pixels. You can also drag the resolution interactively and watch the result update. Two methods are available for keeping the framing. The default changes the camera's focal length, so the perspective does not change and the camera does not move. If the focal length must stay fixed, the alternative moves the camera, using a chosen object or the camera's depth of field as the point of interest; calculations account for the distance between the camera and that point.

With the camera-moving method, the objects remain inside the frame, but changing the point of view also changes perspective deformation, producing parallax effects between objects at different distances. Documentation is provided, and the add-on is distributed under the GPL license.

Who is Enlarge Your Camera best for?

Enlarge Your Camera is best for blender artists who need to change a render's aspect ratio or add pixels while preserving an established composition.

How much does Enlarge Your Camera cost?

Enlarge Your Camera is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Enlarge Your Camera work with Blender 4.3 and 4.2?

Enlarge Your Camera lists compatibility with Blender versions 4.3 and 4.2. It is distributed as a Blender add-on and is noted as Blender Extension compatible. If you run a different Blender version, check the developer's page before installing to confirm support, since the listed compatibility covers only the versions named here. Documentation is provided with the add-on to help you get set up.

How does Enlarge Your Camera keep my framing when I change the resolution?

Enlarge Your Camera offers two methods. The default changes the camera's focal length, so the perspective does not change and the camera does not move, keeping your framing within the render. If the focal length must stay fixed, the second method moves the camera instead, using a chosen object or the camera's depth of field as the point of interest. With that method, objects remain in frame but perspective deformation changes, producing parallax between objects at different distances.

Is Enlarge Your Camera free to use?

Enlarge Your Camera is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms and any current details can change, so check the developer's page for the latest information before you download. The add-on comes with documentation, and a demo video is available if you want to see more about how it operates before adding it to your Blender setup.
