How it works

Step 1
Upload your image
Drop in any photo, screenshot, or scan. JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC supported.
Step 2
Pick an upscale level
2× for moderate enhancement, 4× for max detail. Face-aware mode preserves natural skin tones.
Step 3
AI adds real detail
Our model reconstructs texture, sharpens edges, and removes compression artifacts — not just stretching pixels.
Step 4
Compare before/after
Toggle the split view to verify the result before exporting.
Step 5
Export at full resolution
Download the upscaled image in PNG or JPG, ready for print or web.

Why this approach works

Traditional upscaling stretches pixels and blurs. AI upscaling predicts what detail should be there based on millions of training examples — so a 300×300 thumbnail can come out crisp at 1200×1200.
