How does the 2x/4x image upscaler work?

It uses multi-pass stepped canvas interpolation combined with adaptive edge sharpening to double or quadruple pixel dimensions while minimizing blur and pixelation artifacts.

Are my images uploaded to any remote server?

No. The upscaling process runs 100% locally inside your web browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your images never leave your computer or phone.

What is the maximum resolution supported?

You can upscale images up to standard browser canvas memory limits (typically up to 8,000×8,000 pixels on modern desktop browsers).

Can I download in PNG or JPG?

Yes, you can export your upscaled image as either a lossless PNG or a high-quality JPG.
