Upscale, Unblur, Sharpen Image

Only for Mac

$2.99

Mac

New in 1.1: results now update on their own, rendering is up to 16 times faster, and a compact inspector keeps every control within reach. Turn small, blurry or noisy photos into large, clear images right on your Mac. UpscaleKit enlarges pictures two or four times with on-device AI, and not a single photo ever leaves your computer. Open an image and UpscaleKit recognizes whether it is a photo, a portrait, an illustration or pixel art. It picks a fitting method and renders the result automatically. Change a setting and the previous result stays visible while the new one updates in the background.
