Hi all, I want to create a new raster file and need some guidance. The first screenshot displays the current raster file I have. And I want to enlarge its spatial extent to the rectangular boundary and assign 0 to the newly-added pixels. How can I make it using ArcMap? Any ideas will be highly appreciated! Thanks!

Your question is not clear.

Thanks for the reply. I've compiled my question and hopefully it's clear now.

Do you want to assign 0 value to new pixels to fit rectangle extent?

Are you talking about the values that has no "zero" values in their attribute Table ?

Probably the easiest this would be to create a constant raster with a value of 0 then with the same cell size as your existing raster layer but the extent of your rectangle.  Then you could use any number of raster calculator functions to create a new raster with both rasters as inputs such as the Plus Tool to add them together or use a Over function to copy over the cells from the original where they already exist and apply 0 values to areas where they did not exist before(Unless you have some negative values in your original raster, please look at the raster math toolbox to find the tool to suit your need).  Please take into account what you are using for a snap raster environment, since likely your cells will not perfectly overlap and you will want to shift the constant raster to your existing data, instead of the reverse.
