What is Image Upscaling?

Image upscaling increases the resolution and dimensions of an image beyond its original size. This tool uses advanced interpolation algorithms to enlarge photos while minimizing blur and preserving edge details. Perfect for printing small photos, creating high-resolution versions of web images, or preparing images for large displays.

How to Upscale Images Online

Upload your image and select a scale factor from 1.5x to 4x. The preview shows how your upscaled image will look. Adjust the Enhance Details slider to add sharpening that compensates for interpolation softness - higher values recover more edge detail but may introduce artifacts on noisy images. Download your enlarged image in PNG, JPG, or WebP format.

Choosing the Right Scale Factor

Use 1.5x or 2x for best quality results with minimal artifacts. These scales work well for most images and produce natural-looking enlargements. Use 3x or 4x when you need significantly larger dimensions, understanding that some softness is unavoidable. Higher scale factors work best with sharp, high-quality source images. Low-resolution or compressed images may show visible artifacts at higher scales.

Enhance Details Feature

The Enhance Details slider applies intelligent sharpening to counteract the softness introduced by upscaling. At 0%, you get pure smooth interpolation. At 30-50%, edges become crisper while maintaining a natural look. Higher values add more aggressive sharpening for maximum perceived detail. Adjust based on your image content - portraits benefit from subtle enhancement, while landscapes and architecture can handle stronger settings.

Best Practices for Image Upscaling

Start with the highest quality source image available - upscaling cannot recover detail that doesn't exist. PNG and uncompressed images upscale better than heavily compressed JPEGs. For best results, upscale in steps rather than jumping directly to 4x. Consider the final use case: screen display is more forgiving than print, where upscaling artifacts become more visible. Always preview before downloading to ensure quality meets your needs.
