How to upscale an image without losing quality
June 30, 2026 · 3 min read
Stretching a small image in a normal editor just makes it blurry. AI upscaling is different: it reconstructs plausible detail, so the result looks sharp rather than soft.
Step by step
- 1Open the AI Image Upscaler and drop, browse, or paste your image (PNG, JPG, or WebP).
- 2Pick a model — General is best for photos; Ultra Sharp maximises crispness; Anime suits illustrations and line art.
- 3Choose 2× or 4×, then run it. Drag the before/after slider to compare the result against the original.
- 4Download the upscaled PNG.
When to use which factor
Use 2× for a gentle, natural boost and 4× when you need a big enlargement (printing, large displays). Very large images take longer, especially without a WebGPU-capable GPU — the tool falls back to CPU automatically.
Your image is processed entirely in the browser and never uploaded anywhere.
