Frequently asked
Will it change the person's face?
No. We disable face manipulation features so the model only sharpens existing detail — it does not generate, swap, or reshape faces.
Can I upscale very old or scanned portraits?
Yes. The photo mode handles film grain and scan noise well, especially for headshots up to 12 megapixels.

No sign-up needed for your first upscale. Pick a file, pick the size, download the result.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you upload your first image.
Is this AI image upscaler really free?
Yes. The core image upscaler is free to start. Sign in to get daily credits, try 2x and limited 4x output, and download without a watermark.
Which image types are supported?
You can upscale photos, anime or illustration art, product shots, screenshots, and most JPG, PNG, or WebP images.
Will my uploaded files be stored permanently?
No. Guest and account results are kept for 7 days, then automatically removed.
Do I need an account?
No — you can start as a guest. Create an account when you need higher daily limits.
Why does 4x take longer than 2x?
4x produces 16x the pixels, so it needs more processing time than 2x. Use 2x for quick previews and 4x for final output.
What features are paid later?
The free upscaler stays the main entry point. Paid credits cover heavier 4x runs, photo mode, background removal, image SEO text, and higher-volume use.
Can I use upscaled images commercially?
You keep all rights to your uploads and the upscaled result. Make sure you own or have a license to the original image.
