What our research says

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

Magnific AI

The upscaler is still the best in its class at inventing plausible detail, but you can no longer buy just the upscaler — since April 2026 the purchase is Freepik's entire creative suite wearing Magnific's name, on one shared credit meter.

Pros

  • Detail synthesis genuinely outperforms conventional upscalers on textured subjects
  • API access with credit-based usage is included on every paid plan
  • Plan credits sit in an annual pool rather than expiring monthly
  • One subscription now covers image, video, audio, 3D and a 250M-asset stock library

Cons

  • Freepik's rebrand means every existing review and listing describes a different product
  • Prices are served in local currency, so the USD figures need confirming per region
  • Month-to-month costs 25% more than the headline annual rate
  • The shared credit balance means video experiments quietly eat your upscaling budget

Which one fits

Choose Let's Enhance if you need

  • Enlarging product or portfolio shots for large-format print
  • Restoring scanned or damaged family photos without desktop software
  • Teams wiring upscaling into a pipeline through the API instead of a UI

Choose Magnific AI if you need

  • Retouchers enlarging product, architectural or portrait work where invented detail is acceptable
  • Studios that also want image, video and stock in one subscription
  • Anyone upscaling AI-generated art to print resolution
