What this AI image upscaler gives you
You pick a size, get rebuilt detail, and keep a clean file.
Pick a size
Double it or go 4×
4× quadruples width and height, 2× doubles them. A big enough source can reach 4K, 8K or 16K, up to 15,360 px.
Stretched4× AINot just stretched
Detail rebuilt, not smeared
The AI rebuilds edges, texture and lettering as it enlarges, instead of just stretching pixels.
Problems Image Upscale helps with
“My upscaled photo looks no better”
The AI restores detail while enlarging, though badly damaged photos may stay rough.
“Faces come out waxy and plastic”
It restores detail and texture while enlarging, though results vary by photo.

Sign up with email for 30 free credits, once, with no card and no watermark.
“Desktop apps need a strong graphics card”
It runs in the cloud: nothing to install, no graphics card, any modern browser.
“Is it safe to upload my photos?”
Files sit in private storage with short-lived download links, though it is still an online upload.
“My image is too small to print”
4× gives four times the width and height, though there are no print-size presets.

Image Upscale questions, answered
- What does it mean to upscale an image?
- Upscaling makes an image larger in pixels. It adds detail while enlarging: 2× doubles width and height, 4× quadruples them. Output is always PNG.
- Can I upscale an image without losing quality?
- 2× doubles width and 4× quadruples it, both ways. The AI adds detail while enlarging, so results depend on your source image.
- How do I upscale a picture on iPhone?
- Open the site in your phone browser, sign in, upload a photo and pick 2× or 4×. There is no app. HEIC photos work only where the browser can open them, such as Safari.
- Is there a free AI photo upscaler?
- Yes. New accounts get 30 free credits once, no card needed, enough for a few 2× upscales. After that, credits come from paid plans on the pricing page.
- Can I upscale an image to 4K, 8K or 16K?
- Sometimes, depending on your photo. At 4×, a 960 px long edge reaches 4K, 1920 px reaches 8K, and 3840 px reaches 16K. Smaller photos fall short, and there are no 4K presets.
What Image Upscale does not do
- No batch upload or customer API.
- Only 2× and 4×, no 4K or 8K presets.
- No face, denoise or sharpening controls, no model choice.
- No video, GIF or SVG.
- No app and no offline mode.
