contents Let $\mathrm G$ be an isotrivial reductive group over a scheme $S$. We construct a smooth projective $S$-scheme containing $\mathrm G$ as a fiberwise-dense open subscheme equipped with left and right actions of $\mathrm G$ which extend the translation actions of $\mathrm G$ on itself. This verifies a conjecture of Česnavičius (arXiv:2201.06424). When $\mathrm G$ is adjoint, we recover fiberwise the wonderful compactification. Finally, we give an example of a non-isotrivial torus admitting no equivariant compactification.
