In this article, I’ll tell you how to make any photo or image high-resolution.
Look, sometimes, you find the perfect image for an article, video, campaign, or even a wallpaper, but it’s just too low-resolution.
You can’t use it. The image is too small; if you wanted to scale it up, it’d get blurry.
It’s really annoying when this happens because crispy images attract attention. A lot more attention. And if you have the perfect subject matter, it’s very frustrating not to have the image in high quality.
The tool I’m about to share in this lovely article:
- Upscales anything and makes it crispy.
- Dramatically enhances the resolution of faces.
- Is free.
- Requires only one click to use.
Sound nice?
It’s seriously one of my favorite tools.
And here’s an example of how to use it with a super low-res image.
This is me at 18 years old, meeting Michael Bloomberg. The actual image is a lot bigger, but for this demonstration, I’ve made it small and a bit blurry:
Now let’s put the image into the tool and upscale at 2X:
The result:
But the faces could use work. This tool also has a box called “face_enhance.” I’ll check that off:
The result:
You can alternatively upscale at 1X and just use the tool to increase the resolution of an image while keeping the size the same. Or, if the file size is too large, this is my favorite compression tool (I’m even using it for this article).
Here’s one more simple example:
And now that same image upscaled with this tool at 1X:
Something else I commonly do for ads or articles is generate an image with MidJourney and then upscale it with this tool.
This is especially useful because some ad platforms, like TwitterX ads, require higher image sizes than what MidJourney outputs.
This upscaling tool has many uses in advertising, marketing, branding, and beyond. It’s easily one of my favorite AI discoveries of this year.
