Use tool ↗About ImgUpscaler
ImgUpscaler enlarges images 2x or 4x in the browser while rebuilding edges and texture, with separate paths for straight enhancement and a Reimagine mode that redraws detail rather than interpolating it. It accepts JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF, deletes uploads within 24 hours, and permits commercial use of results on free and paid plans alike. Batch processing is reserved for paid tiers; the free tier handles one image at a time and shows ads.

Pros & cons of ImgUpscaler
A cheap, no-install upscaler that is fine for web and social output and pointless for print or archival work. If you upscale regularly, Upscayl does the same job locally for free and Topaz does it far better for a one-off license fee.
Pros
- Commercial use is allowed even on free output, which many free upscalers forbid
- 24-hour deletion policy is stated explicitly rather than buried
- $19.90 unlimited tier is aggressive next to per-credit competitors
- Reimagine mode is a real creative-upscale option, not just a sharpening filter
Cons
- Capped at 4x, so no path to the 8x-16x some rivals offer
- Free tier is 50 credits and ad-supported
- No developer API and no desktop app included — the Upscal desktop product is licensed separately
- Ownership is not disclosed anywhere on the site; WHOIS is private
Best for
- Ecommerce sellers sharpening low-res supplier product photos
- Anime and illustration fans enlarging line art, where the model is tuned well
- Occasional one-off enlargements where installing software is not worth it
Not for
- Print or large-format output that needs beyond 4x
- Anyone wanting to automate upscaling — there is no API
Watch out: Batch upscaling is a paid-only feature, so free-tier testing will not tell you how the tool behaves on the workload you actually have.
