AI Image Upscaler — 4x Resolution, Free to Try
From thumbnail to print-ready in 10 seconds.
What it does
Phone photo at 800px and you need it for a hero banner? Old scan blurry? Stock thumbnail too small? Clarity Upscaler hallucinates plausible detail back into the image — sharper than naive scaling, real enough to use. The 4x mode handles print at standard ad sizes. Best on photographs (faces, fabric, foliage); graphics with hard text are hit or miss.
How it works
Upload your photo
JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC. We support up to 4 MB input; output can be up to 16 MP.
Pick scale: 2x or 4x
2x for web display upgrade; 4x for print or banner. The 4x option takes longer (~20 s) but adds real detail, not just blur.
Download the upscaled file
Lossless PNG or high-quality JPG. The output is detail-enhanced, not just pixel-doubled.
Image Upscaler — FAQ
Does it actually add detail or just blur?
Adds detail. It's a diffusion model — it hallucinates plausible texture rather than stretching pixels. Output is usually closer to a higher-res original than a stretched copy.
Max output size?
16MP (e.g. 4096×4096). For bigger, run it twice — 4x then 2x = 8x total. Native 8x when the model stops adding artifacts at that scale.
Will faces or hands get weird?
Faces usually fine, often improved. Hands occasionally off — the model can over-smooth or add a sixth finger. Run a sample on a copy before committing your only file.
How is this different from Photoshop Super Resolution?
Photoshop uses Adobe's diffusion; ours uses Clarity Upscaler. Quality is comparable on most photos. We don't need a Creative Cloud subscription.
Copyright?
