Overview

Upscayl — Free open-source AI image upscaler for macOS, Windows, and Linux using ESRGAN models.

Upscayl is a free, open-source AI image upscaling application for desktop that uses state-of-the-art ESRGAN models to enlarge images up to 4x while enhancing detail and sharpness. Unlike simple interpolation, Upscayl's AI generates realistic texture details, making it useful for restoring old photos, enlarging artwork, and improving low-resolution screenshots. It runs entirely on the local device, preserving privacy and working offline. Upscayl is used by photographers, designers, digital artists, and anyone who needs to upscale images for print or high-resolution display without cloud dependency or subscription costs.

Worth every cent
Absolutely love this tool. The customization options let me tailor it to my exact workflow. I've recommended this to at least 10 colleagues already. Integration with my existing tools was seamless — no friction at all.

Great tool, minor quibbles
Good value for the price. The AI suggestions are incredibly accurate and save me hours every week. Wish the free tier had slightly higher limits. Best tool in this category, hands down.

A must-have for any professional
Game changer for my workflow. It handles edge cases better than anything else I've tried. The recent updates have addressed most of my initial concerns. The AI doesn't just suggest — it learns from my preferences over time.

Great tool, minor quibbles
Really solid tool overall. Performance is fast — no noticeable latency even on large inputs. Pricing is fair for the value you get. Wish the free tier had slightly higher limits.

Good value, works well
Does what it promises and does it well. The interface is intuitive enough that I didn't need to read any docs. The AI suggestions are incredibly accurate and save me hours every week. The mobile experience could use some work. Five stars — no hesitation.
