What does the AI upscaler do?
When you enlarge an image with a regular program the pixels are stretched and the result looks blurry or blocky. The AI upscaler rebuilds edges and textures so the bigger image looks sharp, and it cleans noise and JPG compression artefacts.
It works in a faithful mode: it improves definition without inventing faces, objects or text that were not in the original, so it is safe for product photos, logos, screenshots and personal photos.
It helps when you only have a small version of an image: a logo saved from a website, an old scanned photo, a social media picture you want to print. You get one free try with a free account; in Pro each upscale costs 1 of your 100 monthly credits.
How to upscale an image
- Drop your image or click to choose it.
- Press “Upscale image”.
- Compare before and after and check the new resolution.
- Download the upscaled PNG.
When to upscale an image
- Printing a photo or poster that looks pixelated at full size.
- Recovering a logo you only have in low resolution.
- Improving old or scanned photos.
- Product images with more detail for your shop.
- Enlarging an image before vectorizing it for cleaner curves.
Supported formats
- Input: PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP and GIF (first frame).
- Very large images are reduced to 4096 px per side before processing; very small ones are enlarged so the AI has enough detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
With a free account you get one free try in each AI tool. ToolStudio Pro includes 100 AI credits every month: removing a background, upscaling, vectorizing or removing a watermark costs 1 credit per image, and a logo costs 10 credits. If you run out you can buy 100-credit packs as often as you like; purchased credits never expire.
How much bigger does the image get?
The AI increases the resolution several times; the tool shows the final size in pixels before you download. Images already above 4096 px per side are reduced first, so the upscaler works best with small and medium images.
Does it change the content of the photo?
No. It is a faithful upscale: it sharpens edges and textures but does not add objects or change faces.
Am I charged if it fails?
No. A credit is only taken when you get the result. If the AI does not answer or the image cannot be processed, the credit (or your free try) is given back automatically.
What happens to my images?
The image is sent to our server and to the AI service (Recraft) only to process it. The result is kept for one hour so you can download it and is then deleted. We do not use your images for anything else.
