AI Image Upscaler — Enlarge Images 2x-4x Without Losing Quality
AI image upscaler powered by Real-ESRGAN super-resolution technology. Enlarge photos, logos, and graphics 2x or 4x while preserving — and even enhancing — detail, sharpness, and color accuracy. No blur, no artifacts, no quality loss.
Free local tracing needs no account. AI tools use credits and upload files for processing.

- 01
Open your file
PNG, JPG, WebP, or AVIF up to 10 MB. Existing SVGs can be edited in the free workspace.
- 02
Trace and inspect
Preview the shapes and colors. Clear logos and flat artwork usually trace more predictably than photos.

Edit the SVG, compare optional optimization, and download your result.
Working with your SVG
Real-ESRGAN AI Technology
Powered by Real-ESRGAN, the leading open-source super-resolution model. It doesn't just add pixels — it reconstructs texture, edges, and fine detail that traditional upscaling destroys.
2x or 4x Enlargement
Choose 2x for moderate enlargement or 4x for maximum resolution boost. A 500px image becomes 2000px at 4x — with sharper detail than the original.
Face Enhancement Mode
Toggle face enhancement (GFPGAN) to restore facial details in portraits and group photos. Fixes blurry faces, smooths skin, and sharpens eyes automatically.
Instant Processing
Most images upscale in under 10 seconds. No queue, no waiting — upload and get your enhanced image immediately. Works on any device with a browser.
Works with Any Image Type
Logos, product photos, portraits, illustrations, screenshots, old photos, and graphics. Upload PNG, JPG, WebP, HEIC — we handle all common formats.
Then Vectorize (Optional)
Upscale first, then vectorize to SVG for infinite scalability. Higher-resolution input produces cleaner vector paths — the best workflow for logos and graphics.

How AI Image Upscaling Works
Traditional Upscaling (Bad)
Traditional methods (bicubic, bilinear, nearest neighbor) simply stretch existing pixels to fill a larger canvas. The result is always blurry because no new information is created — just the same pixels made bigger. This is what happens when you increase image size in Preview, Paint, or most basic editors.
AI Super-Resolution (Good)
AI upscaling uses a neural network trained on millions of high/low resolution image pairs. It learns what detail should exist at higher resolutions and generates realistic texture, sharp edges, and recovered detail. The result looks genuinely higher resolution, not just stretched.
Best for Photos & Portraits
AI upscaling excels at photos with natural textures — skin, fabric, foliage, architecture. With face enhancement enabled, it specifically recovers facial details that other methods lose, making it ideal for restoring old family photos or enhancing low-res headshots.
Great for Logos & Graphics Too
While vectorization is the ultimate solution for logos, AI upscaling is the perfect first step. Upscale a tiny logo 4x to give the vectorizer more detail to work with. The result is cleaner vector paths and more accurate color reproduction.
