How much does it cost?

4 credits per image, charged when you submit and the same whatever the input size. New accounts get a gift of credits on sign-up, which is enough to try it on your own photos before deciding anything. If an image fails to process, the credits for that image come straight back to your balance.

Which file types can I upload?

JPEG, PNG, WEBP, up to 15 MB each. JPG and JPEG are the same format, so files ending in either extension work.

What resolution do I get back?

A PNG with 4K (2160p) as the ceiling. An image smaller than that is enlarged to 4K with its proportions unchanged — a 4:3 photo stays 4:3, a square stays square. An image that is already 4K or larger is not enlarged further; it gets the detail and clean-up pass at its existing size. The output is always PNG, so nothing is re-compressed on the way out.

Is there a minimum size — what about a very small image?

There is no minimum: a 200-pixel thumbnail runs like any other image. The tool rebuilds detail from what the file still carries, so the more the original has, the more there is to build on — a phone photo or a screenshot has plenty, and even a small preview of a real photo comes back as a picture you can use. On the other end, files over the size limit are declined before upload — save a slightly smaller JPG and run that.

Can I upscale several images at once?

Yes — up to 10 images per batch. Each image is processed on its own and appears as its own result, so one slow file never holds up the rest. Finished results can be downloaded together as a zip.

Are my images private, and how long are they kept?

Uploads and results live in your workspace and no other user can browse them; nothing you run here is published. Results stay downloadable for 7 days on the free plan and up to 365 days on the highest subscription tier, after which they are deleted from storage.

What happens if an image fails?

The credits for that image are returned to your balance automatically and the result card says so. You can retry the same image from the result card without uploading it again.

Can I use the results commercially?

Yes. The upscaled files are yours to use for store listings, ads, print or anything else. The one thing we cannot grant is rights to the original picture — if you did not take it or license it, making it sharper does not change that.

Make any image clearer — upscaled to 4K

Upload a soft, small or heavily compressed photo and get back a sharp PNG at up to 4K, with the detail rebuilt rather than stretched. Up to 10 images per batch.

What this image upscaler does

It takes an image that is too small or too soft for where it needs to go — a 600-pixel product shot, a screenshot lifted from a slide, a photo that has been saved through three messaging apps — and returns a PNG at up to 4K (2160p) with the detail rebuilt: staircased edges become clean lines, skin and fabric get their texture back, text becomes legible again. Anything smaller than 4K is enlarged to 4K; an image that is already 4K keeps its size and only gets the repair pass. Up to 10 images per batch.

Reach for it whenever an image is the right picture at the wrong size: a product photo that has to fill a store banner, a still from a video that is going into print, an old download of your own work with the original long gone, a phone photo that looks fine on the phone and falls apart on a monitor. If the problem is blur more than size — a shaky hand, a missed focus, a thumbnail enlarged once already — Photo Unblur is the same tool, with sample results for exactly those cases. For scanned prints with scratches, creases and faded colour, Photo Restorer is built for that job.

A clean 4K image is usually the first step, not the last. Open the result in the AI Image Generator as a reference and change the scene around it, or use it as the opening frame of a clip in AI Video — a sharp source makes everything downstream look better. If upscaling, resolution or 2160p are unfamiliar words, the glossary explains each one.

How to make an image clearer

Three steps from a soft, small file to a sharp 4K PNG

Add your images

Drag photos in, paste from the clipboard or click anywhere on the drop area to pick files — up to 10 per batch.

Upload and it runs at 4K

There is nothing to configure: every image is enlarged to 4K and the detail rebuilt in the same pass. An image that is already 4K keeps its size and only gets the repair.

Download the PNG

Every result comes as a before/after slider so you can check the fine detail. The result can also go on to AI Image or AI Video without leaving the site.
