Image upscaler

Upscale old photos without a heavy photo editor.

This free AI image upscaler helps when an old photo scan looks fine on your phone, but turns soft after you crop, print, or share it. Use it after scanning, restoration, or colorization when you need a cleaner, larger file.

For full repairs such as scratches, fading, and color balance, start with the free photo restore demo.

Old prints scanned too small

Make low-resolution scans larger before sharing or printing, so faces and small details hold up better.

Cropped family photos

Enlarge a cropped portrait or group shot without stretching it manually in a photo editor.

Soft screenshots and phone captures

Clean up images captured from messages, social posts, or quick phone photos when the original file is not available.

What you get

  • 2x, 4x, and 8x options for different file sizes
  • Optional face enhancement for portraits
  • Before-and-after preview before downloading
  • Free download with no account required
