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

Viesus

Viesus is built for volume — batch upscaling and cleanup of photos and scanned PDFs through an API, not a one-image-at-a-time consumer tool. The Swiss-registered company shows a usage counter on its own homepage as a trust signal, and the free try-out tier is generous enough to test the API before committing to a plan.

Pros

  • API access is included even on the entry paid tier, not gated to Enterprise
  • Covers scanned PDFs as well as photos, including up to 600 dpi resolution
  • Credits roll over month to month rather than expiring
  • Company and country are disclosed on the site, unlike several competitors in this batch

Cons

  • Credit-based pricing means heavy batch users need to budget carefully or hit the Business tier fast
  • No mobile app
  • Enterprise-level volume requires contacting sales rather than a published price
