Use tool ↗About ImageUpscaler
ImageUpscaler enlarges photos by predicting missing detail rather than interpolating, and bundles adjacent repair tools on the same credit balance: deblurring, JPEG artifact removal, enhancement and a photo-to-cartoon filter. It runs in the browser with batch processing and a ZIP download, plus post-processing for resizing, cropping, colour correction and watermarks. An HTTP API covers upscaling, deblurring and image generation, with 100 free calls a month and volume on the Business plans. Credits are the unit of account: one image costs one credit and one video five, and each user gets 3 free credits a month per tool. The About page describes a team from Ukraine, and the terms are governed by Ukrainian law.

Pros & cons of ImageUpscaler
A no-friction browser upscaler with a sensible spread of repair tools sharing one credit pool, priced well below desktop alternatives, and with batch jobs and an API it now works for small pipelines too. The credit ladder is the catch: the free allowance is a taster, the cheapest plan covers 50 images, and API volume starts on the $49 Business tier. The operator is a small Ukrainian team with no named legal entity, which is worth weighing before uploading client work.
Pros
- Deblur, JPEG artifact removal and enhancement share the same credit balance
- Batch processing with a single ZIP download
- HTTP API with 100 free calls a month and sample code in a dozen languages
- Credits also cover video at 5 credits per file
- Entry paid tier at $9.90/month, or $5.75/month on annual billing
Cons
- No legal entity named; the About page only says the team is from Ukraine
- Free allowance is 3 credits a month per tool
- API volume beyond the free calls needs a Business plan from $49/month
- The jump from 50 to 500 credits more than doubles the monthly price
Best for
- One-off enlargements where installing desktop software is overkill
- Cleaning up compressed or slightly blurred source images
- Small shops wiring upscaling into a workflow through the API
Not for
- Anyone who needs a named vendor and a data-processing agreement
- Heavy users who would be better served by a one-off desktop licence
Watch out: Everything is credit-metered and credits are monthly. Estimate your real image count before picking a tier, and note that video costs five credits per file.
