Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. Upscaling runs entirely in your browser with a self-hosted AI model. Your image never leaves your device, and it works offline after the one-time model download.

How much bigger does it make the image?

It upscales 2× — double the width and double the height (4× the pixels) — using a Swin2SR super-resolution model that reconstructs detail rather than just stretching.

Why are very large images scaled down first?

The model processes the whole image on your device's CPU or GPU, which gets slow and memory-heavy for big inputs. To keep it reliable, oversized images are reduced to a manageable size before the 2× upscale.

Will it fix a blurry or heavily compressed photo?

It can sharpen and add plausible detail, but it's a small model — it won't work miracles on very blurry, noisy, or tiny images. Results vary by image.

What format is the result?

The upscaled image is provided as a PNG so it stays lossless and ready to download.

AI Image Upscaler

Upscale and sharpen an image 2× on-device with an AI super-resolution model — no uploads, no watermark.

Processed 100% in your browser — nothing you enter here is ever uploaded.

Common use cases

Enlarge a small or low-res image

Double the resolution of a thumbnail, old photo, or exported asset without it turning blocky.

Sharpen a screenshot or logo

Get a crisper, higher-resolution version of a small graphic for a slide or print.

Upscale without a watermark or signup

Enlarge an image privately in your browser instead of uploading it to an online upscaler.

How to use the Image Upscaler

Drop an image into the box, or click to browse. It's processed entirely on your device — nothing is uploaded.

The first time you use it, the AI upscaling model (~21MB) downloads once and is cached in your browser, so later runs work offline.

Click "Upscale 2×". The model recreates the image at double the width and height, sharpening details as it goes.

Compare the before and after, then Download the upscaled PNG.

Very large images are scaled down to a manageable size first (upscaling runs on your device), so this works best for small-to-medium images you want to enlarge.
