About Upscayl
Upscayl makes small or blurry images bigger and sharper with AI. Drop in a photo, pick a model and Upscayl enlarges it up to 4x while restoring detail, which is perfect for old photos, product images, AI art and wallpapers.
It is completely free and open source, with no account, no watermark and no subscription. Everything runs on your own computer, so your images never leave your device.
Upscayl has different AI models for photos, digital art and illustrations, and it can upscale a whole folder of images at once. A graphics card (GPU) makes it much faster.
