AI image upscaler —
enlarge photos 4× without losing quality

Increase the resolution of a small photo from your phone, a messaging app or an old camera. The AI doesn’t stretch pixels — it rebuilds what a small file can’t show: eyelashes, single hairs, the knit of a sweater. Face, colours and framing stay the same.

What for

When you need to upscale a photo

The photo is fine, just too small — for printing, a wallpaper or a shop page.

Printing

Prints, canvas, calendars or posters. Results up to about 17 megapixels print at 300 DPI up to about 13×14 inches.

Photos from chat apps

Messenger and WhatsApp shrink photos. Upscaling brings back sharp faces and clears compression blocks.

Product photos

A bigger image for your shop or marketplace listing — with a visible fabric texture instead of a blur.

Results from other tools

A photo shoot, style or haircut change at higher resolution — without generating it again.

What it will not do

  • It does not repair damaged photos — scratches, stains and dust on a scan stay and may become more visible. Use “Restore Photo” first, then upscale the result.
  • Small text and lettering may come out inaccurate — it rebuilds texture, it doesn’t read letters.
  • Photos that are already high resolution get about 2× at most — more would not add anything.
Questions

Image upscaling — FAQ

Step-by-step guide: step-by-step guide in the help center

Can you enlarge a photo without losing quality?

Plain resizing (interpolation) always blurs the image, because software only averages neighbouring pixels. AI works differently: it recognises what is in the photo and adds the detail back — which is why the upscaled photo is sharp rather than blurry.

How much can I upscale a photo?

Up to 4×. Small photos (up to about 1000 px) get the full 4×, larger ones as much as keeps the result around 17 megapixels. The tool shows the target size before you pay anything.

Will upscaling change the face?

No. The tool sharpens and adds fine detail, but it doesn’t redraw the photo — same person, same expression, hair and clothing.

How much does it cost?

A flat 2 credits per photo, whatever its size. New accounts get free starter credits.

How is this different from photo restoration?

Restoration repairs a damaged photo: it removes scratches, creases and stains and can colourise it. Upscaling only increases the resolution of a good photo. For an old print, restore first, then upscale.

What print size is an upscaled photo good for?

A result of about 17 megapixels is e.g. 4000×4200 px. At 300 DPI — print-shop quality — that is about 13×14 inches, plenty for a Letter or A4 print and far more than a standard 4×6.

Do I need to install image upscaling software?

No. The upscaler runs in your browser on phone and desktop — upload a JPG, PNG or HEIC from your iPhone and download the result as a JPG.

What happens to my photos?

Only you can see them. They never appear in any gallery, are not used to train models and are not shared with anyone. You can delete them at any time, or switch on automatic deletion after 7, 30 or 90 days.
