About this ai image upscaler

AI Image Upscaler enlarges small images, such as old web photos, thumbnails, screenshots or low-resolution product shots, two or four times. It uses Swin2SR, an open-source super-resolution model trained on real photos that are blurry, noisy and JPEG-compressed, so instead of stretching pixels it rebuilds plausible edges and texture and cleans up compression blocks. The model runs in your browser, on the graphics chip when available, after a one-time ~50 MB download, so your image is never uploaded. Because the model is heavy, it works on images up to 768 px on devices with graphics acceleration and up to 320 px without; a typical small image takes under a minute. The comparison slider shows the AI result against an ordinary resize of the same size, so you can see exactly what it adds. If your photo is already large but blurry, use Unblur Image instead.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Why is there a size limit?

The model rebuilds every output pixel, which takes about a minute for a 640 px image on a laptop graphics chip. Large photos already have the pixels; to make them crisper, Unblur Image or Sharpen Image work at any size.

Is the extra detail real?

It is a prediction. The model is very good at edges, hair, fabric and text-like shapes, and it can invent texture that was not there. Compare at 100% and lower AI strength if the result looks painted.

Which model is it, and is it open source?

Swin2SR real-world x4 by Conde et al. (2022), Apache-2.0 licensed, running through transformers.js. The model page is huggingface.co/caidas/swin2SR-realworld-sr-x4-64-bsrgan-psnr.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The model is downloaded to your browser once and the image never leaves your device.
