Professional-Grade Image Enhancement
Every pixel re-computed individually — no AI servers, no upload, no cost
🔬
Lanczos-3 Resampling
The gold-standard upscaling kernel. Evaluates a 6×6 pixel neighbourhood per output pixel using sinc-based weighting for sharp, alias-free results.
✨
Unsharp Mask
Post-upscale sharpening via Gaussian subtraction. Recovers edge gradients degraded by interpolation without amplifying noise.
🧹
Gaussian Denoise
Suppresses JPEG block artifacts and sensor noise that become visible after upscaling. Strength tuned per enhancement mode.
🎨
4 AI Enhancement Modes
Auto, Portrait, Product, and Landscape presets adjust sharpness and denoise strength to content type — no manual tuning needed.
🔒
100% Client-Side Privacy
Every pixel is processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server — not even a thumbnail. Works fully offline.

How to Use
1
Upload
Drag & drop any JPG, PNG, or WebP. Your photo never leaves your device — all computation is local.
2
Choose Scale
Pick 1.5×, 2×, or 4× upscale. 2× doubles resolution; 4× is ideal for printing.
3
Pick a Mode
Select Portrait for people, Product for sharp edges, Landscape for scenics, or Auto to let the engine decide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about client-side image enhancement
No. Every computation runs inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.
Lanczos-3 is a high-quality image resampling algorithm that uses a sinc-based kernel to reconstruct missing pixel data. It is widely used in professional video and photography software for its sharp, ringing-free output.
The tool supports 1.5×, 2×, and 4× upscaling. A 4× upscale turns a 500×500 image into a 2000×2000 image. Very large upscales take longer to process.
Auto works well for most photos. Use Portrait for headshots (softer sharpening, more denoise). Product for items (maximum sharpness, minimal denoise). Landscape for outdoor scenes (balanced sharpness, moderate denoise).
Upscaling increases resolution, but cannot recover information that was never captured. Blurry photos will be enlarged but remain blurry. The unsharp mask can help with mild softness.
There are no server-side limits. Larger images take more browser memory and processing time. Images over 20 MP may be slow on low-end devices.
