How does the image upscaler work?

Our tool uses a 4-stage pipeline: (1) Lanczos-3 or Bicubic interpolation to generate new pixels, (2) smart denoise to reduce artifacts, (3) unsharp mask sharpening for crisp edges, and (4) color enhancement for vivid output. Far better than simple browser resizing.

Is there a watermark on the output?

No. Unlike competitors that charge monthly fees or add watermarks, our upscaler produces 100% clean output with no watermarks, logos, or branding — ever.

What scale factors are available?

Five options: 2x, 3x, 4x, 6x, and 8x. For example, a 500×500 image becomes 4000×4000 at 8x. Choose 2x for speed or 8x for maximum resolution.

What are the 4 presets?

Photo (Lanczos-3, balanced sharpen, subtle color boost), Illustration (Bicubic, strong color enhance for digital art), Text/Logo (max sharpening for crisp text), and Anime (optimized for anime/manga with light denoise).

What is Lanczos-3 interpolation?

Lanczos-3 is a mathematically superior algorithm using a 6×6 kernel (vs Bicubic 4×4). It produces sharper results with less ringing artifacts — the gold standard for high-quality image upscaling used in professional software.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your images never leave your device, even if you disconnect from the internet.

What output formats are supported?

Export as PNG (lossless), JPEG (adjustable quality 50-100%), or WebP (best compression). Input supports JPG, PNG, WebP, and BMP up to 30MB.

What does color enhancement do?

Boosts saturation and contrast of the upscaled image. Compensates for slight color dulling during interpolation, producing more vivid and natural results.

What is the maximum image size?

Input images up to 30MB and 4000×4000px work well. Output limit is ~64 megapixels. Very large images at 8x may be limited by browser memory.
