How to upscale a low-resolution image with AI

Got a soft, pixelated, or low-res photo? Kyanbasu's AI upscaler reconstructs detail instead of just stretching pixels — sharpen product shots, rescue small images, and export at a size you can actually use.

How it works

  1. Step 1
    Upload your image

    Drop in any photo, screenshot, or scan. JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported.

  2. Step 2
    Choose AI upscale

    Open the upscale tool in the editor. The credit cost is shown before you confirm — no surprises.

  3. Step 3
    AI reconstructs detail

    The model rebuilds texture and sharpens edges rather than enlarging existing pixels, so the result holds up at a larger size.

  4. Step 4
    Review the result

    Zoom in and check edges, text, and faces before exporting. Regenerate with a different approach if needed.

  5. Step 5
    Export at full resolution

    Download the upscaled image as PNG or JPG, ready for your listing, print, or web use.

Why this approach works

Traditional resizing stretches pixels and blurs. AI upscaling predicts the detail that should be there based on patterns learned from millions of images — so a small source can come out crisp at a usable size.

Frequently asked questions

Is the upscaler free?

Upscaling is an AI tool and uses credits. A free account starts with 50 one-time welcome credits; credit packs and monthly plans are available for more.

Does it work on faces?

It improves sharpness and detail on portraits, but always review the result — AI reconstruction can alter fine facial features at high enlargement.

Can I print the result?

Yes. Export at the upscaled resolution and print at your target size; check the final pixel dimensions against your printer's requirements.

How does it compare to Topaz?

Kyanbasu runs in the browser with no install and no separate subscription — upscale, then keep designing on the same canvas.
