How it works
The image is enlarged in steps of no more than double at a time using your browser’s high-quality smoothing, which produces fewer halos and blocky edges than one large jump. An unsharp mask is then applied: the tool blurs a copy, measures the difference from the enlarged image, and adds part of that difference back to emphasise edges.
This is classic image processing, not generative AI. It does not invent new detail such as skin texture or text that was not legible in the original; it makes the most of the detail that is there. The page address mentions AI because that is how people search for this kind of tool.
Useful for
- Enlarging a small logo for a banner
- Making an old web image usable on a high-resolution screen
- Preparing a small photo for a larger print
- Getting a profile image to a platform’s minimum size
Limitations
- Upscaling cannot recover detail that was never captured; blurry text stays blurry.
- Strong sharpening exaggerates JPG artefacts and noise.
- The largest result is limited by your device’s canvas size; on iPhone, about 16 megapixels.
