Use upscaling after the photo is already repaired or reasonably clean. The goal is a larger, cleaner archive copy that still looks like the original photo.
Open the upscale toolUpscaling improves a good source more than a bad one. If scratches or stains are the problem, repair the photo first, then upscale the restored result. Exports are capped at 2048 pixels on the long edge with paid credits or Pro and 1024 pixels for the free watermarked preview, and the tool never enlarges past what the restoration returns, so the file can be smaller than the cap.
Choose a target size first, then confirm that the enlarged result still looks faithful at that size.
A paid export is capped at 2048 pixels on the long edge and the free watermarked preview at 1024, and the tool never enlarges past what the restoration returns, so the download is often smaller. Divide the downloaded width and height — after any cropping — by the print size in inches to get the pixels per inch you will actually get on each side.
Upscaling also enlarges scratches, stains, compression blocks, and invented facial detail. Clean the source first.
Zoom to the intended print dimensions and check eyes, hair, edges, grain, and background texture before ordering a print.
These illustrated portrait and wedding samples are useful for checking faces and fine edges before choosing a larger print.
This illustrated example shows stronger contrast and clearer faces while keeping the composition and outdoor setting recognizable.
This illustrated example shows one restrained color interpretation. The original scan remains the historical reference.
No. A paid export is capped at 2048 pixels on the long edge and is often smaller, while a 300-pixel-per-inch 8×10 needs roughly 3,000 on the long side. Read the dimensions of the file you downloaded and decide from those, not from the cap.
No. Repair scratches, stains, and folds first; otherwise the enlarged file can make those defects more visible.
It can make the file larger, but it cannot verify missing facial information. Compare identity with the original at every step.
