What our research says

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

Let's Enhance

The safe browser-based choice when you need resolution for print and do not want to install Topaz or babysit a local upscaler; it is priced per image, so it punishes high-volume use.

Pros

  • Credit rollover up to six months' worth is more forgiving than the usual use-it-or-lose-it model
  • Distinct tools per job (sharpen, restore, unblur, upscale) instead of one catch-all slider
  • Documented API with separate enhancer and upscaler endpoints for production use
  • Running since 2017, so the model quality has had many iterations behind it

Cons

  • Free tier is 10 signup credits and stamps a watermark on output
  • One credit per image makes bulk catalogue work costly next to a one-off desktop licence
  • Top personal plan is 500 credits at $45/month, which is a low ceiling for agencies
  • Newer generative upscalers produce more dramatic detail on heavily degraded sources
