Images Upscale is a free AI image upscaler that runs in your browser: upload a JPG, PNG or WebP, choose 2x or 4x, and download a sharper, larger file in about ten seconds. It uses Real-ESRGAN models on cloud GPUs, so nothing needs installing and your own computer's speed does not matter. The image upscaler helps most with small or compressed pictures — social media downloads, old phone photos, thumbnails, screenshots and anime frames — because that is where extra pixels make a visible difference. Every account gets free daily credits, signed-in results are saved to your workspace, and you can upscale a whole folder at once by dropping several files or a ZIP. For specific jobs, the photo enhancer, anime upscaler, screenshot enhancer and old photo restoration pages explain which mode and scale to choose.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you upload your first image.
Is this AI image upscaler really free?
Yes. Everyone gets 2 free credits a day, enough for two 2x upscales or one 4x upscale, and downloads have no watermark.
Which image types are supported?
You can upscale photos, anime or illustration art, product shots, screenshots, and most JPG, PNG, or WebP images.
Will my uploaded files be stored permanently?
Guest results are deleted automatically after 7 days. Once you sign in, results stay in your workspace until you delete them — one at a time or in bulk.
Do I need an account?
No — you can start as a guest. Sign in when you want to keep your results or buy credit packs.
Why does 4x take longer than 2x?
4x produces 16x the pixels, so it needs more processing time than 2x. Use 2x for quick previews and 4x for final output.
What do paid credits add?
Nothing is locked behind payment: every mode and tool runs on the free daily credits. Credit packs only add volume — they cover jobs your free credits for the day cannot, and they never expire.
Can I use upscaled images commercially?
You keep all rights to your uploads and the upscaled result. Make sure you own or have a license to the original image.
