Overview

Upscale.media enlarges and enhances low-resolution images using deep learning: AI algorithms analyze patterns, textures, and edges in an image, then predict and generate additional pixels to sharpen and refine it at 2x, 4x, or 8x resolution – a meaningfully different technical approach than traditional upscaling, which just stretches existing pixels and produces a blurrier, larger version of the same image.

The wider toolkit beyond upscaling is what turns this into a genuine photo-restoration suite rather than a single-purpose enlarger: Sharpen, Retouch, Enhance Face, Deblur, Dehaze, Remove Motion Blur, Restore, and Colorise all address distinct, common problems with old or low-quality photos, and video upscaling (up to 1 minute) extends the same reconstruction approach beyond still images.

Upscale.media supports PNG, JPEG, JPG, WEBP, and HEIC images plus MP4, MOV, and WEBM video, with bulk processing and API integration for enterprise workflows. It targets individuals restoring old photos, professional photographers and designers, ecommerce sellers, real estate professionals, and social media creators. A free tier is available with upload limits; paid plans add higher-resolution input limits and more credits.
