Upscayl

Upscayl is an AI-powered image upscaler designed to increase image resolution and improve overall clarity with minimal effort. It uses artificial intelligence to reconstruct details in low-resolution, blurry, or pixelated images, helping them look sharper and cleaner without requiring advanced editing skills. Upscayl is available in two ways: a desktop app for Linux, macOS, and Windows, and a cloud-based service for users who prefer processing online.

With Upscayl, you can upscale images up to 16× their original size and choose from multiple AI models tailored to different types of content and enhancement goals. Whether you’re working with photos, older scans, or images that need to look better on high-resolution displays, Upscayl provides straightforward controls: upload (or open) an image, pick an upscaling model and settings, and let the AI generate an enhanced version you can download or save.

As a free and open-source project, Upscayl emphasizes accessibility and ease of use while still offering practical capabilities such as batch upscaling for handling multiple images at once. It can be useful for creators and everyday users alike—especially when you need higher-quality images for printing, archiving, or improved viewing on modern screens. For users exploring the cloud service, subscription and credit questions are covered in the FAQ, including plan changes, cancellations, credit expiration, and potential refunds for unused credits.
