upscayl
Free AI image upscaler that enlarges and enhances photos up to 16x without losing detail.
Upscayl is an AI-powered image upscaling tool that increases the resolution of photos while preserving and even enhancing visual detail. It uses deep learning models trained on large image datasets to intelligently reconstruct textures, edges, and fine elements when scaling pictures up. The tool is available as a free, open-source desktop application and through an online interface, making it accessible to photographers, designers, and casual users who need to revive old photos, prepare images for print, or salvage low-resolution assets. Users can choose from multiple AI models suited to different image types, including photographs, digital art, and illustrations. Upscayl runs locally on supported hardware, which keeps images private and avoids upload limits, though it does require a reasonably capable GPU for the best performance.

- Multiple upscaling models
- Batch image processing
- Custom output scale and format
- Cross-platform desktop app
