# Unsqueeze {#openvino_docs_ops_shape_Unsqueeze_1}

@sphinxdirective

**Versioned name**: *Unsqueeze-1*

**Category**: *Shape manipulation*

**Short description**: *Unsqueeze* adds dimensions of size 1 to the first input tensor. The second input value specifies a list of dimensions that will be inserted. Indices specify dimensions in the output tensor.

**Attributes**: *Unsqueeze* operation doesn't have attributes.

**Inputs**:

*   **1**: Tensor of type *T* and arbitrary shape. **Required.**

*   **2**: Scalar or 1D tensor of type *T_INT* with indices of dimensions to unsqueeze. Values could be negative (have to be from range ``[-R, R-1]``, where ``R`` is the rank of the output). **Required.**

**Outputs**:

*   **1**: Tensor with unsqueezed values of type *T*.

**Types**

* *T*: any numeric type.

* *T_INT*: any supported integer type.

**Example**

*Example 1: unsqueeze 2D tensor to a 4D tensor*
