How it works

AI photo upscaling, explained

Add real detail back into a low-resolution photo — not just a stretched, blurry enlargement.

01

Upload your photo

Any PNG, JPG, or WebP — old photos, low-res exports, or small product shots all work.

02

Choose 2× or 4×

Real-ESRGAN reconstructs fine detail at the target resolution, with face enhancement built in for portraits.

03

Download in full resolution

Get back a sharper, larger image — ready for printing, a larger display, or a higher-res upload requirement.

Use cases

Who uses an AI upscaler?

Old & low-res photos

Bring back detail in scanned photos, old phone camera shots, or anything saved at a small size.

E-commerce & print

Meet a marketplace's minimum resolution requirement, or prepare a photo for print without visible blur.

Social media & portraits

Sharpen a portrait for a profile photo or thumbnail, with face enhancement tuned specifically for people.

FAQ

Common questions

4× produces a larger final image with more added detail, but takes slightly longer to process. 2× is faster and often enough for smaller resolution gaps.

Upscaling adds detail appropriate to a higher resolution, but it can't fully recover detail that was never captured — a genuinely out-of-focus photo will still look soft, just larger.

Yes — Real-ESRGAN works on any photo. Face enhancement specifically activates for portraits; other images are upscaled without that step.
