AI-Powered Image Upscaling

Traditional image enlargement creates blocky, blurry results because it simply stretches existing pixels. AI upscaling is different – it uses neural networks trained on millions of images to intelligently predict and generate new pixels.

The result? Enlarged images that are sharp, detailed, and natural-looking. Perfect for printing old photos, enlarging screenshots, or preparing web images for high-resolution displays.

When to Use AI Upscaling

  • Print Old Photos: Enlarge family photos or vintage images for framing.
  • Product Images: Upscale small product photos for e-commerce zoom features.
  • Social Media: Make low-res images crisp for Instagram or marketing.
  • Artwork & Illustrations: Scale up digital art for prints or posters.

2x vs 4x Upscaling

2x Upscale

Best for slightly low-res images that need a modest boost. Doubles both width and height (4x total pixels).

4x Upscale

Maximum enlargement for very small or low-quality sources. Quadruples both dimensions (16x total pixels).

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I enlarge my image?

You can upscale images by 2x or 4x their original resolution. A 1000x1000 pixel image becomes 2000x2000 (2x) or 4000x4000 (4x) while maintaining sharpness and adding detail.

Does upscaling work for printing?

Absolutely! AI upscaling is perfect for preparing low-resolution web images for high-quality printing. Upscale old photos, screenshots, or web images to print-ready 300 DPI resolution.

How is AI upscaling different from regular resizing?

Regular resizing just stretches pixels, creating blur and artifacts. AI upscaling uses machine learning to intelligently add new pixels based on image context, preserving edges and textures.

What types of images work best with AI upscaling?

AI upscaling works well on most images, but it excels with photos, artwork, and graphics. It can enhance faces, text, and fine details. Very low-quality or heavily compressed images may have limited improvement.

Is the AI upscaler free?

AI upscaling uses credits because it requires significant processing power. You can purchase credits to use AI features. Basic resizing (without AI enhancement) is always free.
