Everything a bad photo needs, in one pass

Enhance runs sharpening, denoising, light correction, face restoration and upscaling together, so the parts agree with each other.

Sharpen and denoise without the crunchy look

Phone zoom, low light and heavy compression leave photos soft and grainy. PixelUp removes the noise first, then rebuilds real edges, so textures come back instead of halos.

  • Works on screenshots, WhatsApp forwards and old JPGs
  • Keeps film grain where it belongs

Faces that still look like the person

A separate face model restores eyes, skin and hair at the right scale for each face in the frame. No plastic skin, no changed features, and group photos get every face, not only the biggest one.

  • Fixes light and color on faces, not only sharpness
  • Old prints and scans included

Upscale to 2K or 4K for print and screens

Enhance does not stop at the original size. Choose 1K, 2K or 4K output and a small phone photo becomes a file you can print at A3, use as a wallpaper, or crop hard without pixelation.

  • 1K run is 6 credits · 2K is 10, 4K is 16
  • JPG or PNG output, no watermark on HD downloads

Questions people ask before uploading

Is the photo enhancer free?

Sign in with your email and get 12 free credits, enough for two runs. After that each run costs 6 credits at 1K, 10 at 2K, 16 at 4K, with the download included.

What does Enhance actually change?

It sharpens soft edges, removes noise and JPEG blocks, balances exposure and color, rebuilds faces, and upscales the image to 1K, 2K or 4K. It does not change what is in the photo.

How big can the output be?

Up to 4K on the long edge, about 4096 pixels. That is enough for an A3 print or a full-screen wallpaper from a small phone photo or screenshot.

What file types and sizes work?

JPG, PNG, WEBP and HEIC up to 20 MB. Output is JPG or PNG.

Is my photo safe?

Photos are processed on our servers over an encrypted connection, deleted automatically after 24 hours, and never used to train AI models.

Can I enhance many photos at once?

Batch upload of up to 20 photos is included in the Monthly and Yearly plans. With credits you run one photo at a time.
