Upscale photos and add detail
Drag the slider to compare the original photo with the AI-upscaled result.
AI upscaling
Turn a small, compressed image into a sharp photo
Standard enlargement simply stretches the pixels, making your photo blurry. AI upscaling analyzes the image and reconstructs missing details, keeping edges sharp and textures clear.
Use it for phone photos, old scans, small product shots and images from the AI image generator.
- Double or quadruple the resolution
- Sharp edges and clear textures, even after upscaling

How much can I enlarge my photo?
Double or quadruple each dimension. A 1024 × 1024 px photo can become a 4096 × 4096 px image.
How do I increase photo resolution for printing?
For high-quality prints, aim for around 300 dots per inch: a 10 × 15 cm photo needs approximately 1200 × 1800 px. Upscale a smaller image before sending it to print.
How can I enhance photo quality?
Upscaling reconstructs details and sharpens edges, making low-resolution images look much better. Use a prompt in the AI photo editor to fix noise, scratches or faded colors.
What photos can I upload?
JPG, PNG and WebP up to 10 MB.
Do I have to install anything?
No. Photo upscaling runs in your browser, with an interface in your language. In the same editor, you can remove the background, remove an unwanted object or use the other tools in the AI photo editor.
