How to Enlarge Your Photos With Upscale AI

It’s really easy to use Upscale AI. We’ll demonstrate using a very small JPEG file that’s 640 x 427 pixels. You’ll have the option of upscaling to 2x, 4x, or 6x.

It will take a few moments to upscale. Once the task is complete, a copy of your upscaled image will be placed in theUpscalefolder. The upscaled image file name will also be changed, withimage_upscaleadded to the end of the original file name to avoid confusion.

The file has been upscaled to a 3840 x 2562 pixel 5 MB file. If we zoom in we can see there are some distorted pixels from the upscaling, but it’s not too bad. There is slight distortion with the2xand4xversions too, but if shared as social media posts on Instagram or Facebook, it will likely go unnoticed.

you’re able to transfer your newly upscaled imagefrom your computer to your phone using Luminar Share.
