Browser upscaler: enlarge an image 2x to 8x with AI, with no watermark and one free image a day without an account.
FreemiumBeginnerWebiOSAndroid
Overview
Upscale.media makes small images bigger without making them blurry. Upload an image, pick 1x, 2x, 4x or 8x, optionally turn on AI enhancement to clean the image while it grows, and download the result. Results carry no watermark, and it reads PNG, JPEG, WEBP and HEIC files.
It runs on the web and as iOS and Android apps. Without an account you get one image a day. A free account gives 3 credits and 3 downloads a month, doubles the input size caps, and is required for bulk work. Paid plans go further, by subscription or one-time pay-as-you-go credit packs. The same upscaler is available to developers as an API from its maker, PixelBin.

When to use
Use upscale.media if:
- You need a small image printed or displayed large: posters, canvases, product packaging.
- You sell online and your only product photos are small ones, for example from an old listing or a supplier.
- You have old low-resolution graphics, logos or downloads that need to be usable at modern screen sizes.
- You have one image to fix today, which a guest can do without an account or a watermark.
- You are a developer and want the same upscaling in your own pipeline through the PixelBin API.
When NOT to use
Skip upscale.media if any of these describe you:
- You upscale more than one image a day and will not sign up. A guest gets one, and a free account gives 3 downloads a month. Compare other image upscalers.
- You are enlarging anime or drawn art. Anime upscalers are trained specifically on that style and preserve line work better.
- You need to edit the image, not only enlarge it. Use a photo editor after upscaling.
- Your images cannot leave your machine. Processing runs on upscale.media's servers, and its policy stores uploads rather than auto-deleting them.
Frequently asked questions
Without signing up you can upscale one image a day, and results have no watermark. A free account gives 3 credits and 3 downloads a month. Paid plans raise the limits for volume work: you can subscribe or buy one-time pay-as-you-go credit packs, and the vendor states pack credits are currently valid for a year.
For more than one image a day, yes. A guest gets one upscale per day. A free account gives 3 credits and 3 downloads a month, doubles the input size caps, and is required for bulk work.
You choose 1x, 2x, 4x or 8x, where 1x cleans the image without enlarging it. The bigger the factor, the smaller the allowed input. As a guest the published input caps are 10,000 pixels square at 1x, 5,000 at 2x, 2,500 at 4x and 1,250 at 8x. Signing in doubles each of them.
It accepts PNG, JPEG, WEBP and HEIC images, which covers photos coming straight from iPhones as well as standard web images.
The upscaler sharpens as it enlarges, but that is not its job. upscale.media now has separate Restore Image, Face Restoration, Enhance Face and Colourise tools on the same site. Those are the ones aimed at old or damaged photos of people.
Images are processed on the vendor's servers. The privacy policy states that uploads are stored anonymously and that you can request deletion by contacting support. It does not promise automatic deletion after processing.
