Upscayl

What is Upscayl?

Upscayl is a browser-based AI image upscaler for turning low-resolution, blurry, or pixelated photos into clearer high-resolution images. Users upload JPG, PNG, or WEBP files, choose an enhancement mode and scale (including 2×–8×), preview the result, and download in their preferred format. Modes cover standard photos, portraits, anime/art, face restore, and scratch restore. It targets photographers, creators, and anyone who needs a free online upscale without installing desktop software.
