A small picture looks soft or blocky when you enlarge it. Upscaling adds pixels using smart smoothing so the larger version looks cleaner than a simple stretch.
How to upscale
- Open Upscale Image and add your picture.
- Choose 2x, 3x or 4x, and keep Sharpen edges on if you like crisper lines.
- Download the larger image.
Set the right expectation
Upscaling cannot bring back detail that was never in the picture. A tiny blurry photo will become bigger and smoother, but not truly sharp. It works best on images that are already clear but just too small.
Tips
- Start with the best original you have, not a screenshot of it.
- Do small steps, such as 2x, instead of a huge jump.
- Use PNG for logos and graphics, JPG for photos.
- Keep the original file.
