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

Monipix

Monipix covers the standard upscaling range (2x to 16x) with separate tuning for photos versus anime/AI art, which most single-mode upscalers skip. The credit system is granular enough to be predictable — a 16x pass costs 4 credits before you run it — but the free tier's ten monthly credits barely cover one or two large images a month.

Pros

  • Separate upscaling modes for photos, portraits, and anime/AI art
  • Clear, published credit cost per resolution tier (1 credit for 2x up to 4 for 16x)
  • Batches up to ten images in one pass
  • Available as a Canva app in addition to the standalone site
  • Commercial use is permitted on all upscaled output

Cons

  • Free tier's ten credits a month covers very little real use
  • No company name or location disclosed on the site
