AI upscale and denoise old photos 2x/4x, entirely on your phone. No upload, no account, no subscription — the model is bundled inside the app.
PixelLift is an AI photo upscaler that runs entirely on your phone. The Real-ESRGAN super-resolution model is bundled inside the app: pick a re-photographed print, a scan, or a low-resolution shot from an early phone, tap once, and a few minutes later (a typical old photo; large modern photos take longer) you get a 2x or 4x version that is sharper and cleaner — with no network involved. Not a single byte of your photo leaves the device.
Most "photo enhancer" apps upload your family pictures to a server and charge by the week. PixelLift does the opposite: the model is local, the app makes no network connections and talks to no server other than the App Store's own purchase flow, and Pro is a one-time purchase.
■ Why PixelLift
• Truly offline: no network connections, photos are never uploaded, works in airplane mode
• No subscription: one purchase unlocks Pro for good — no weekly or monthly fees
• Real AI: a bundled Real-ESRGAN super-resolution model, not a plain resize
• Clean and fast: pick → choose scale → go; drag to compare before/after; dark mode
• Privacy first: no account, no ads, no data collection
■ Core features
• 2x / 4x AI upscaling, up to 24 MP output
• Three denoise levels (off / light / strong) for scans, re-photographed prints and old phone shots
• Progress with time estimate; cancel any time
• Before/after slider plus a zoom view
• Save to Photos or share in one tap
• Local history of restored photos
• Switch the interface between English and Chinese
■ Who it's for
Anyone with old family prints, graduation photos or scanned documents to sharpen; anyone who won't upload their family's pictures to the cloud; anyone tired of subscriptions.
The free version restores 3 photos a day at 2x with a small PixelLift tag in the corner; Pro removes the limit and the tag and adds 4x.
Note: PixelLift upscales and denoises. It does not repaint faces, colorize, or repair torn areas.
