How to upscale an image

Start with your original image

Open Image Upscaler and use Upload image, drag a file into the workspace, or paste an image from your clipboard. Choose the cleanest original you have, rather than a screenshot of a compressed copy.

Use a non-animated JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC up to 10 MB, 32 MP and 12,000 pixels per side. Selecting a file previews it locally; starting an upscale uploads it for processing.

Choose an output scale

Choose 2×, 3× or 4× from the main selector. Advanced scale contains 6× and 8× for smaller originals. Check Image info for the estimated output dimensions. A scale is disabled if it would exceed 32 MP. Free processing requires output at or below 8 MP and an available daily free use. See the 2× vs 4× examples.

Select a detail mode

Start with Natural. Extra Detail adds detail enhancement and may change fine textures. Neither mode guarantees exact reconstruction of text, skin, faces or product labels. Compare the same source and scale if you try both modes; a new successful processing task uses its own allowance or credits.

Process and inspect

Review Estimated cost and choose Upscale. Keep the task open while it processes. When ready, use the comparison slider and 100% view to examine edges, lettering and textures. Wait for the current task to finish before submitting another image. If processing fails, read how failed tasks release credits.

Download the real output

Select PNG, JPG or WebP and click Download. The file is the full-resolution output, rather than the smaller on-screen preview. Downloads do not use additional credits. Save it within 24 hours of starting the task. Read the formats and downloads guide for transparency and quality settings.
