AI photo enhancer

Upload the photo and press Upscale the image. The size is fixed at 2x, so there is nothing to choose: a super-resolution model doubles the width and height and sharpens edges and textures from what is already in the picture. Make the enhanced photo with any DreamBench plan and download it full size.

Only the pixel count and the sharpness. A super-resolution model rebuilds edges and fine texture at twice the size from the pixels you upload. It does not retouch faces, change colors or brighten shadows, and it adds nothing that was not in the photo. Nothing is redrawn, so the photo is still your photo.

Only up to a point. A slightly soft photo looks crisper, because edges and fine texture come back sharper at the larger size. A photo that is badly out of focus, smeared by camera shake or heavily compressed cannot be rebuilt: the model has nothing to work from, so it comes back larger but still blurred.

To improve the quality of a photo, pick the fix by what is wrong. Too few pixels or a soft look: a super-resolution enhancer doubles the size and sharpens edges. Dark, flat or off color: any editor's auto adjust. Scratches, tears or fading on a print: photo restoration. Many photos need two of these, in that order.

No, this enhancer does not remove grain or noise; it has no noise reduction, and grain can come back sharper along with the picture. Reduce the noise first in any photo editor, then enhance the cleaner copy. In that order the two steps give a crisp, clean photo at twice the size.

On a soft old digital photo or a clean scan, yes: it comes back crisper at twice the size. A print with scratches, tears or fading needs the photo restoration tool first, because enhancing would only sharpen the damage. Strong blur stays, whatever the photo's age.

Twice the width and height of the picture the run starts from, which is at most 2048 pixels on its long edge: a 1200-pixel photo becomes 2400, and a 4000-pixel phone photo comes back at 4096. Only a photo larger than 4096 pixels comes back smaller than it went in.

They run the same model. The enhancer is the upscaler with 2x fixed: pick it when a photo has to look crisper on a screen or hold up in a print at a sensible size. Pick the AI image upscaler, or its 4K preset, when a small picture has to become four times larger.

Not quite. Face-enhancing apps retouch and can redraw faces, which makes a portrait look polished but not always like the person. This enhancer adds pixels and sharpness only: skin texture, colors and features are left as the camera caught them, and nothing is redrawn. Pick by which you want.

Partly. The iPhone's Photos app can sharpen a photo and reduce its noise, but it can't add pixels. Canva has an upscaler and automatic adjustments in its editor. Photoshop's Super Resolution in Camera Raw also doubles a picture, and Generative Upscale can redraw detail. This page doubles the width and height with nothing redrawn, in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install.

No. It enhances one still photo at a time, and DreamBench has no video enhancer. A frame saved from a video can be enhanced like any picture, and DreamBench's video models render their clips at their own resolutions in the composer.

An enhanced photo looks no different when the original was large. A 2048-pixel photo comes back at 4096, and a screen that shows both scaled to fit makes them look alike until you view them at 100%. Over about 2,700 pixels a photo gains less than one and a half times its size, over 4096 it comes back smaller, and the page says so before you press.

Use the photo enhancer for a photo that is soft or small: it doubles the pixels and sharpens edges, and changes nothing else. Use the AI photo restoration tool for a print with scratches, tears, stains or fading: it repairs the damage, can add color and keeps faces close to the original, but draws the picture again. For a damaged print that is also small, restore first, then enhance.

No. Every run needs a DreamBench plan; you create an account on the way, and the button shows the price in credits before you press it. The tools come with every plan, alongside the video models, and a run that fails is refunded.

No. The page takes one photo per run, and there is no batch upload. Run it again for the next one: each run is priced separately, and the button shows the price before you press it. Start each from the sharpest copy you have.

No. A DreamBench tool adds no watermark to an image it returns, on any plan, and the super-resolution model that runs this page embeds no mark of its own. The download is your photo with twice the pixels, in the format you uploaded, with nothing written or hidden in it.

Each run uses 7 credits from your DreamBench plan. Starter, $9.99 a month, includes 1,100 credits a month, about 157 runs of the AI photo enhancer, plus AI video. A run that fails is refunded.

Yes: a free account and a DreamBench plan. The tools are part of every plan, from Starter at $9.99 a month.

A photo up to 40 megabytes: JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC or another format your browser opens. A photo straight from a phone is fine, an iPhone's HEIC included: the page scales a large picture down to 2048 pixels on its long edge before the run, so the result is never larger than the page says.

Yes. Under the DreamBench Terms you may use what a tool makes for personal and commercial purposes, including advertising, monetized content and work for clients, with no separate commercial-use upgrade. The Terms don't guarantee copyright in a result or clear another person's rights in your upload, so only use photos you have the rights to.

No. DreamBench doesn't use your prompts, uploads or videos to train or fine-tune AI models, and any future training program would be opt-in.

It stays in your browser until you make a result. Then it is used to make that result and nothing else, and removed from the tool's storage after seven days along with the result. A result you keep in your library stays as long as you keep it.
