Everything runs in your browser — your photo is never uploaded. In AI mode (the default), a neural network called Real-ESRGAN runs on your device's graphics chip: it removes blur, noise and compression blocks and rebuilds fine detail, then the colours and contrast are gently balanced. Small photos come back 2× larger. Like any AI upscaler it can sharpen detail that was barely visible, but it can't recover things the camera never captured. Fast mode uses classic sharpening and noise reduction instead and finishes in about a second.
The default "Balanced" setting is tuned to stop short of an artificial look. Choose "Subtle" for a lighter touch or "Strong" for a bolder effect.
Mild softness and small, low-resolution photos improve noticeably — small photos are upscaled 2× and sharpened. Badly blurred or out-of-focus shots will look somewhat crisper, but no tool can fully recover detail that was never captured.
PNG, JPG, and WebP on upload. By default you get the same format back; you can also choose JPG, PNG or WebP.
Fast mode takes a second or two. AI mode usually takes 5–30 seconds on a laptop and up to a minute on older phones, depending on the photo size. The first time, it also downloads the 5 MB AI model, which is then cached.
Yes — scanned prints and faded originals are one of the more common uses, and results are usually strong on that kind of image. It restores contrast, colour and sharpness; it doesn't repair tears or add colour to black-and-white photos.
You can, though the change will be subtle since there's less to correct. Most people use it on images that need real improvement.
It depends on the format. Keeping the same format as your original (the default) usually gives a similar size. Saving as PNG gives the largest files; JPG and WebP stay small. Small photos that are upscaled 2× will naturally be bigger.
