ENHANCE YOUR PHOTOS

• Adjust sharpening, reduce noise, and soften compression artifacts
• Compare the original and processed image before saving

VIDEO UPSCALING FOR IPHONE AND IPAD
Use Fast Model for AI video upscaling, or choose traditional Lanczos resizing when speed matters more. Preview a short clip before processing the full video. Sharp, General, and Anime models for video are available in the Mac version.
Export videos as MP4, MOV, or M4V. Include audio, re-encoded as AAC, or export without sound. Video previews are silent.
PRIVATE, ON-DEVICE PROCESSING
Your photos and videos are processed locally. No media upload is needed for enhancement, making Upscal useful for personal photos, family videos, illustrations, and content you want to keep on your device.
OUTPUT THAT FITS YOUR DEVICE
Choose a scale factor, resolution preset, or custom size. Mobile output is limited to 4096 pixels per side and may need to be smaller depending on available memory. Keep the app open while processing. For larger exports and more demanding video projects, use Upscal for Mac.
TRY IT FREE
Process up to five images per batch for free. Upgrade to Pro to remove the image batch limit. Monthly, yearly, and one-time lifetime purchase options are available. Current prices are shown in the app and may vary by region. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled and can be managed in your Apple account settings.
Requires iOS or iPadOS 16.6 or later. Speed and results depend on your device, source quality, chosen model, and output size. AI enhancement cannot guarantee recovery of missing detail.

Upscal is a gamechanger for anyone who wants to enhance photos and videos without compromising privacy. Everything runs completely offline on your iPhone or iPad using Apple’s Metal and Core ML, meaning no uploads, no waiting on servers, and your files never leave your device.The photo upscaling is excellent. I’ve taken old, low-res, or slightly blurry shots and enlarged them 2x to 8x with noticeably sharper details, cleaner edges, and natural-looking textures. Batch processing a few photos at once is convenient, and exporting as JPG, PNG, or WebP without watermarks is a nice touch.Video enhancement with the Fast Model works well on device for everyday clips, and the flexible output options for resolution, format, audio, and denoise or sharpen give you solid control. It’s perfect for cleaning up old memories, preparing content for larger screens or social media, and even improving anime or digital art.Fast, private, and effective. Highly recommended if you want quality upscaling that respects your privacy.

When I upgraded to iOS 27, I noticed the app doesn't function anymore. When I go to click on something like photo or video or even the "About" section doesn't even work. Could you fix this in the upcoming update please!!

I am checking this issue. Please hold on for a while.

CORPORATE GREEDY SLIMEFUX
To be fair, it did work. A ten second video took 1 minute and 29s to complete. The original 17mb video was a screen recording 1920x720. It upscaled it to 4K size, but it didn't enhance the video, if anything it made it slightly worse? The end result was 720p quality—File size 117mb. Same or slightly lesser quality at 10 times the file size! If you have reason to do this, download it.

Hello my friend. You are using the iOS version and trying to enhance the video from your mobile phone. Frankly speaking, iPhones are great for image enhancement, video enhancement is much more computationally intensive and is limited by the hardware resources available on mobile devices. As a result, the quality improvement may not be as significant as you expect. For the iOS version, I have claimed that it is using the traditional algorithm to upscale the video and the details improvement is not guaranteed. If you are looking for the best possible video enhancement results, I would strongly recommend using the macOS version. It has access to much more computing power and can produce significantly better results, especially for detailed and high-resolution videos. Best Regards
