Image Upscaler to Enhance Your Photos with Smart AI

Resizing photos isn’t ideal under any circumstances. Still, when there is no other solution to make your pictures high-resolution, you want to make sure you use the perfect tool.

A smart Artificial Intelligence Image Upscaler by StockPhotos is one such tool that offers a great solution to all your image dilemmas.

In this guide, let’s review the tool and find out why you should use it to resize images.

Why Images Lose Quality When You Resize?

Before we dive into the details of the Upscaler, let’s find out why images become disruptive and full of digital noise when you try to enlarge them manually.

The thing is, all images taken from digital cameras or scanners are made up of pixels. The appearance of pixels can be defined as tiny squares or tiles. If you magnify the image, you can actually see the pixels that the image is made up of.

When you reduce the size of the image, the pixels (or the tiles) naturally become smaller and offer better quality details to the picture. However, if you enlarge the image, the pixels become more prominent and make the image look blurry and disoriented, similar to this:

The Solution

The best way to upscale an image is to compensate for each enlarged pixel, so it matches the properties of its nearest pixel neighbor. However, when you enlarge images using the basic upscale tools, the pixels from the lower resolution images are copied and repeated to fill out all the pixels of a higher resolution display.

But Image Upscaler by StockPhotos takes a different approach. It uses artificial intelligence to predict a high-resolution image that would downscale to look like the original, low-resolution picture.

As a result, the images produce sharper details and better clarity that no ordinary upscaling software can recreate.

What Makes the Image Upscaler So Great?

While you may find several AI-based upscalers on the internet, the upscaler tool by StockPhotos surpasses many others for its features. These include:

Free to Use

One of the most significant benefits of this upscaler is that it is free to use. Unlike other tools available in the market, the StockPhotos upscaler is entirely free for unlimited usage. This means you can use the upscaler for as many pictures as you want.

Another feature that makes this one stand out is the ability to use it without signup. Combined with an easy to use interface, image upscaling on the tool is a breeze. Simply upload the required picture and automatically have the browser generate a high-resolution image for you – without any download or login!

2x, 4x, and 8x Capabilities

The AI Image Upscaler features image-enhancing capabilities up to 8x the original size. But despite the size you choose, the end result of each image is sharper and detail-oriented than the other.

With the upscaler, it doesn’t matter whether you use a historical image or a fresh one. The trained algorithm will recreate new pixels to enhance the image, maintaining its natural look – with increased sizes.

Ready for Social Media

The various social media networks see a staggering amount of photos each day. Most (if not all) of us regularly take to social media and share images of our daily happenings.

Keeping this phenomenon in mind, StockPhotos Upscaler allows the users to ready each image they ‘upscale’ according to the social media of their choice. It has multiple crop options available for Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. At the same time, it enables users to download a set of images that are suitable for all the leading social networks.

Supports Major Formats

The upscaler supports all major formats of images, including JPEG, PNG, WEBP, and BMP files. For the size, it lets you upscale up to 2000×2000 pixels for free, while the maximum size you can use is 5MB.

And again – it’s totally free for as many images as you want.

How to Use the Image Upscaler?

The Image Upscaler by StockPhotos boasts a drag-and-drop interface. To upscale your image, simply login to upscaler.stockphotos.com from your web browser (Windows and Mac OS).

On the startup screen, you will be presented with an option to upload the image. Simply add the picture you wish to upscale, agree to the terms and conditions dictated by the company, and let the AI-algorithm automatically upscale the image.

However, do note that on the first attempt, the upscaler enlarges images to 2x by default. You can further choose to upscale the image by selecting the option to upsize 4x and 8x along with other photo-enhancing options.

Slide the given slider from left to right to check the difference from your original image. Once you are satisfied with the result for your image, select the social media size you want to resize the image to and press download.
