  2. Select your image type preset (Photo, Artwork, Pixel Art, or Text) for optimal algorithm selection.
  3. Choose your scale factor (1.5× to 4×) or enter custom dimensions for precise control.
  4. Enable optional enhancements like noise reduction or sharpening for better results.
  5. Click "Upscale Image" and download your enlarged image. Need further editing? Try our Image Cropper or PNG Compressor.

Image Type Presets Explained

Photo

Optimized for photographs and natural images. Uses Lanczos algorithm for sharp, detailed results. Enable noise reduction to clean up compression artifacts from compressed JPGs.

Artwork

Best for illustrations, digital art, and graphics. Preserves smooth gradients and clean lines. Consider converting to WebP format for smaller file sizes.

Pixel Art

Uses Nearest Neighbor algorithm to preserve hard pixel edges without any blurring. Perfect for retro game sprites and favicon creation.

Text/Document

Optimized for scanned documents, screenshots, and text-heavy images. Sharpening is enabled by default for clearer text. Convert results to PDF format if needed.

When to Upscale Images

Printing

Enlarge images for high-quality prints without pixelation. Use our Image Resizer for exact print dimensions.

Presentations

Make images larger for slides and displays. Consider converting to JPG for smaller file sizes.

Old Photos

Restore and enlarge vintage or low-res photos. Combine with our Image Enhancer for best results.

Pixel Art

Scale up pixel art while keeping crisp edges. Create favicons or app icons from your artwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Upscaling increases the resolution (dimensions) of your image but cannot add detail that wasn't captured originally. However, enabling noise reduction can clean up artifacts, and sharpening can enhance edges. For better quality, consider using our Image Enhancer tool.

Each preset automatically selects the best algorithm and settings for that image type. Photo mode uses Lanczos for sharpness, Artwork preserves smooth gradients, Pixel Art uses Nearest Neighbor for crisp edges, and Text/Document enables sharpening for readable text.

Enable noise reduction for images with visible grain, compression artifacts, or low-light photography. Use "Light" for subtle cleanup, "Medium" for noticeable noise, or "Strong" for heavily compressed images. Be aware that strong noise reduction may slightly soften details.

Yes! Select "Custom" from the scale options to enter specific width and height values. The aspect ratio lock ensures your image isn't distorted. For more precise resizing options, try our dedicated Image Resizer tool.

Uploaded images can be up to 10MB. The output file size depends on scale factor and format. PNG outputs are larger but lossless, while JPG outputs are smaller but compressed. Use our PNG Compressor or JPG Compressor to reduce file sizes.

Files are temporarily stored only during processing and are automatically deleted within 1 hour. We don't keep copies of your images or use them for any other purpose.
