Upscale an image with AI

Enlarge photos, scans and screenshots 2× or 4× with real super-resolution — reconstructed detail instead of blur. Runs on your own device: free, private, no watermark, no credits.

Upscaling happens on your own device — old family photos and screenshots never leave it.

How it works

  1. Drop an image. JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 1024 px on the long side (bigger images are downscaled first so the 4× output stays manageable).
  2. Pick engine and scale. "Fast" loads in a second and runs anywhere; "Max quality" (Real-ESRGAN) is better on photos and shines with a WebGPU browser. 2× or 4×.
  3. Compare and download. A before/after slider shows the difference; the result downloads as PNG.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The super-resolution network runs inside your browser — the photo never leaves your device.

How is this better than plain resizing?

Resizing interpolates, so edges blur. Super-resolution reconstructs plausible detail — edges, textures and text stay crisp at sizes where classic resizing turns soft.

Fast vs Max quality?

Fast is a compact SPAN network — instant load, runs on any device. Max quality is Real-ESRGAN: better photo detail, bigger model, and it really wants WebGPU (recent Chrome/Edge) to be quick.

Why the 1024 px input cap?

A 4× upscale of 1024 px is a 16-megapixel image — about the practical memory ceiling for browser tabs on ordinary hardware. Crop first if you only need part of the picture sharper.
