Real results. Each photo was shrunk to 480×320, then enlarged to 1,920×1,280 the normal way and with the upscaler. These are close-ups; drag to compare.

Questions people ask

How much bigger will my image get?
Up to 4× on each side, with the long side capped at 4,096 pixels, and the shape stays the same. A 640×480 photo becomes 2560×1920, and a 1024×768 photo becomes 4096×3072. You see the exact size before you upscale.
How much does it cost?
1 credit per image, and you're only charged when the upscale succeeds. Every account gets 3 free credits a day.
What's the largest image I can upscale?
Images up to 3,000 pixels on the long side. Larger images are already high resolution, so there's little left to gain.
Will it make my photo look fake?
No. The upscaler sharpens the detail already in your photo instead of redrawing it, so faces, text and products still look like themselves.
Does it work on AI-generated images?
Yes. It's a good way to take an AI image or an old, small photo to print size.
Does it keep a transparent background?
Yes. A PNG with a transparent background comes back as a transparent PNG. Other images come back as high-quality JPGs.
Where does the result go?
It's saved to your library automatically, next to your other images. Download it, open it in the editor, or use it in a new creation.
Can I use the upscaled image commercially?
Yes, for images you have the rights to. Upscaling doesn't change who owns the image or its license.
