AI Image Upscaler

When you enlarge an image in a normal editor, the software stretches the pixels you already have and blends them, so the result is bigger but soft. An AI upscaler works differently: the model has learned what skin, hair, fabric, foliage and text look like at high resolution, and it generates new detail that fits your image as it enlarges it.

The Clarity Upscaler model used here is especially good with portraits and faces, and it works well on landscapes, products and illustrations too. Some tips:

• Use the right factor. 2x is enough for most screens. Use 4x for large prints or when the source is very small.
• Start from the best file. The original photo upscales better than a screenshot or a copy saved from a chat app.
• Fix blur first. Upscaling adds detail but is not meant to remove heavy blur; for that, run Unblur Image before upscaling.
• Compress afterwards for the web. Upscaled PNGs are large. Use Compress Image or PNG to WebP before putting them on a website.

Upscaling works best on images that are small but clean. If the source has heavy JPEG blocks or noise, the upscaler may enlarge those too, so clean the image first with Unblur Image. AI art from the AI Image Generator usually upscales very well, because it starts clean.

• AI Image Upscaler (this page, $0.03): the image is too small; make it 2x to 4x larger with added detail.
• Unblur Image ($0.05): the image is soft, noisy or blocky at its current size.
• AI Photo Restoration (first one free, then $0.10): an old print with scratches, tears or fading.
• AI Image Expander ($0.03): you need a different shape, like 16:9 from a portrait, with new scenery around the edges.
• AI Video Upscaler: the same idea for video clips.

A common workflow for AI art is to generate a draft with the AI Image Generator, then upscale the one you like here for printing.

For printing, a rough guide is 300 pixels per inch for close viewing and around 150 for posters seen from a distance. A 1000 pixel wide image is enough for a sharp print about 3 inches wide; at 4x it becomes 4000 pixels, enough for about 13 inches at 300 ppi, or a much larger poster.

If you are not sure which tool you need, look at the photo at 100 percent zoom. Sharp but tiny means upscale; the right size but soft means unblur; scratched or faded means restore.

Each upscale costs $0.03, whatever the scale factor. You are charged only after the upscale succeeds; if it fails, nothing is taken from your balance. There is no subscription: buy a credit pack of $10, $25, $50 or $100 (larger packs include bonus credit) and pay per use, so $10 covers more than 300 upscales. Every signed-in user also gets one free generation per day on tools priced $0.10 or less, and this upscaler qualifies. It does not stack or roll over.

RegiAI does not add a watermark to the upscaled image. Download the PNG as soon as it is ready and keep your own copy. You sign in with Google to use the tool.

Because the price is the same for 2x, 3x and 4x, choose the factor by the size you need, not by cost. Bigger is not always better: a 4x upscale of an already large photo makes a huge file that is slow to share. For screens and social media, 2x is usually plenty.
