Get pro-quality photos with AI

AI upscaling and normal upscaling differ significantly in how they process and enhance images.

• Normal upscaling: This method simply increases the size of an image by stretching its pixels or filling gaps. While it makes the image larger, it often reduces sharpness and detail, resulting in a blurry or pixelated appearance, especially for significant enlargements.

• AI upscaling: This advanced process uses artificial intelligence to analyze the image and predict missing details. Instead of just enlarging the pixels, AI enhances textures, edges, and fine details, creating a clearer, more refined image. It can even add new information inspired by the original, offering a reimagined version of the image that looks more polished and professional.

In short, AI upscaling not only increases size but also improves quality, while normal upscaling focuses solely on enlarging the image, often at the expense of clarity.

The primary function of a image upscaler is to increase the resolution of a low-quality image, which it does by adding pixels to make the image more prominent but without affecting quality. Therefore upscaling is ideal for enlarging images and rendering them suitable for printing or display on larger screens, whereas an enhancer does not change the size. Using photo enhancments improves the quality of a photo by adjusting contrast, sharpness, color balance, and noise reduction.

The AI Upscale tool not only increases the resolution of your image but also reimagines its possibilities. For example, by selecting the 'transform' option, your original image will be transformed into a new creation inspired by the original. Give it a try now and let your creativity run free!

The Photoroom App provides additional image enhancements to make colors more vivid and draw attention or tone them down for a softer appearance. You can also adjust contrast for clarity, depth, or texture effects. You can also access Photoroom’s library of text boxes, graphics, and emojis to fit the occasion and add extra impact. Also you have access to tools like AI Background Remover, AI Shadows and AI Resize with a special extending feature.

There is no single "best" image upscaler or image enlarger for 4K, as the ideal choice depends on your specific needs, budget, and workflow. Photoroom AI Image Upscaler stands out for its versatility, speed and ease of use.

Upscaling can improve image quality in terms of increasing resolution, enhancing detail or reducing pixelation and to get rid of blurry images. However, it is more commonly used to maintain quality during other manipulations. It is essential to accept that the quality of the source image determines how much potential there is for improvement. Excess upscaling of the same image can be detrimental in the long-run.
