AI Photo Upscaler — Increase Resolution up to 4K
Bring small or low-res images back to life. Upscale up to 4× while recovering natural detail and sharpness.
From 3 credits per edit.
To upscale a photo, upload your low-resolution image and the AI enlarges it up to 4× while recovering natural detail and sharpness. Powered by Real-ESRGAN, it adds resolution without harsh artifacts, giving you print-ready output up to 4K in seconds.
The AI Photo Upscaler enlarges small or soft images while rebuilding the fine detail that simple resizing throws away. Instead of stretching pixels into a blurry mess, it reconstructs texture and sharpens edges, so a thumbnail-sized photo can become a crisp, print-ready file up to 4K.
Use it whenever an image is too small for where it needs to go — a low-res profile picture you want to print, an old web image headed for a poster, or a cropped photo that lost resolution. It is also the natural finishing step for restored or unblurred photos that are already sharp but still small.
Results depend on the original: a clean small photo upscales beautifully, while a heavily compressed JPG can carry its blocky artifacts into the larger version. For the best output, start from the highest-quality source you have, and run Unblur first if the image is also soft.
Upscaling is also a quiet workhorse behind the other tools: a background change, restoration, or outfit swap often benefits from a final pass that pushes the image to print resolution. Think of it as the last step before you send a file to print, hang it on a wall, or load it onto a large screen, rather than something you reach for on its own. There is nothing to install — you upload in the browser and most photos finish in just a few seconds. Pricing stays simple, too: credits come in one-time packs starting at $29 for 200 credits, a standard upscale is 3 credits, and a full 4K export is 10, so a single pack covers dozens of enlargements at any size with no recurring fee or surprise charges, and because the model only adds resolution the larger file keeps the exact colors and composition of your original.

- 3
Download the high-res result
Export print-ready output in up to 4K for posters, prints, and large displays.
AI upscaler vs. resizing in a basic editor
- Basic resizing just enlarges existing pixels and looks blurry; the AI reconstructs real detail.
- No halos, ringing, or jagged edges that crude sharpening filters introduce.
- Print-ready output up to 4K without a reshoot or a higher-megapixel camera.
- One step, with no manual sharpening, masking, or noise-reduction passes to tune.

Tips for the best results
- Start from the highest-quality original you have — upscaling a clean small image beats a compressed large one.
- Heavily compressed JPGs can show blocky artifacts; run Unblur first for the best upscale result.
- For old prints, pair upscaling with Photo Restoration to recover both size and damage.
