Benefits of Our Upscale Tool

✓ Real-ESRGAN AI Technology

Real-ESRGAN increases image dimensions and generates additional pixel detail. The result can look clearer, but it cannot guarantee recovery of detail missing from the source.

✓ Multiple Scale Options

Choose 2×, 3×, or 4× upscaling. Higher scales create larger image dimensions and usually larger output files.

✓ Smart Image Detection

Choose Auto, Photo, or Anime mode according to the source image and compare the processed result.

✓ Face Enhancement

Optional face enhancement applies additional processing to detected facial regions. Review faces closely because results vary with the source.

✓ Multiple Format Export

Export as PNG (lossless), WebP (balanced), or JPG (compressed) based on your needs.

✓ Simple Image Upscaling

No sign-up is required to use the available image upscaling controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between 2×, 3×, and 4× upscaling?

2× doubles the image dimensions, 3× triples them, and 4× quadruples them. Larger scales generally require more processing and create larger output files; visible detail depends on the source image.

Does upscaling reduce image quality?

AI upscaling attempts to reconstruct additional visual detail while increasing image dimensions. Results can vary depending on the source image, scale, and content.

What image formats are supported?

We support JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and TIFF input formats. Output can be PNG (lossless), WebP (modern), or JPG (compressed).

When should I use photo vs. anime mode?

Photo mode is intended for photographic content, while Anime mode targets anime or illustration-style images. Auto mode lets the processing workflow select a mode based on the input.

Is my image data safe?

Upscaling is performed through the tool's server-side processing workflow.

Can I use upscaled images commercially?

Upscaling does not change ownership or licensing rights. Use the processed image only when you own the source image or have the necessary permission, and follow any applicable copyright or licensing terms.
