How to upscale an image with AI
A small photo gets blurry when you stretch it: a plain resize just makes the same pixels bigger. AI upscaling is different — a neural network trained on millions of photos guesses what the missing detail should look like, so edges come out sharper than a simple resize. This tool does that with a real super-resolution model (ESPCN, from the official ONNX Model Zoo), fully in your browser.
Drop a photo and press the button: the image is enlarged 3× and downloaded as a PNG. The brightness of the photo goes through the neural network; the colour is enlarged with plain interpolation, because the model only sees brightness. You get a before-and-after preview, so you can judge the result yourself instead of trusting a success message.
Two honest limits. First, the model sharpens real detail — it cannot invent detail that was never there. A blurry photo stays blurry, just bigger; a sharp small photo improves the most. Second, large images are first reduced to 1024 px on the longest side, then enlarged 3×, because the model works tile by tile and bigger images would take too long. The first use downloads the model (about 240 KB) and the AI runtime (about 800 KB); both are then cached in your browser.
Everything runs in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device. There is no daily limit.

Frequently asked questions
How much better is AI upscaling than a plain resize?
Noticeably better on sharp photos with real detail: edges and textures come out cleaner than a bicubic resize. On blurry or heavily compressed photos the gain is small — the model cannot recover detail the camera never captured.
Why only 3×?
The neural model is trained for exactly 3×. Running it twice would double the wait and the artefacts. For a bigger jump, upscale 3× here and resize the result further with the Resize Image tool — but know that the extra stretch is plain interpolation, not AI.
Why are large images reduced to 1024 px first?
The model reads the photo in 224 px tiles, one at a time. A 3000 px photo would need hundreds of tiles and take minutes on a normal computer. Capping the input at 1024 px keeps a typical upscale under about 15 seconds.
Does it work on screenshots and line art?
It works, but the model was trained on photos, so text and sharp flat edges can get slightly soft or wavy. For screenshots, the plain Resize Image tool is often the cleaner choice.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The AI runs entirely in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device.
