FAQ

What is an AI image upscaler and how is it different from traditional resizing?

An AI image upscaler uses neural networks to intelligently add new pixels when enlarging an image, predicting what details should exist at higher resolutions. Unlike traditional resizing which stretches pixels and creates blur, AI upscaling generates realistic textures, sharpens edges, and recovers fine details, resulting in a larger image that looks naturally high-resolution rather than blurry or pixelated.

Can I turn a blurry image into a sharp 4K picture?

Yes. Upload the blurry photo, choose 4K (or 8K or 16K) and the upscaler sharpens edges and fine detail as it enlarges, giving you a clear 4K version in seconds. It costs 1 credit, and free accounts get monthly credits. However, it cannot recover detail that was never captured, so very tiny or heavily damaged images improve less.

How does AI upscaling and color enhancement work?

The photo enhancer analyzes your image, enhances color depth and vibrancy, then intelligently scales it from 2x to 16x based on your choice. It restores faded tones, reduces noise, and preserves fine details, especially effective for old photos or images with dull colors.

What scaling options are available?

You can choose from 2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x scaling. 2x is ideal for web and 1080p, 4x for social media and 4K, 8x for standard prints, and 16x for large-format displays and ultra-high 16K resolution. Each option includes AI color enhancement.

Can I use upscaled images commercially?

Yes. All enhanced images are yours to use for any purpose, including commercial projects like marketing, e-commerce, print, and portfolios, on all plans including the free tier, as long as you hold the rights to the original image.
