What is AI super-resolution?
Real-ESRGAN is a neural network trained on real-world image degradation. Unlike a simple resize, it reconstructs plausible high-frequency detail — sharper edges, recovered texture, cleaned-up compression artifacts. ClearPix runs the model in overlapping tiles on your own GPU (WebGPU) or CPU (WebAssembly), so even large images process safely without any server.
When to use 2× vs 4×
- 4× — small thumbnails, compressed social-media saves, AI-art drafts.
- 2× — moderate enlargements where you want a natural, less sharpened look.
- For very large sources, downsize first and let the model rebuild the detail.
Only process images you own or have explicit permission to modify.
How it works
Upload the scanned photo
Drop the scan or old digital file. It opens locally — a private archive stays private.
Pick 2× or 4× enhancement
The model processes the image in tiles, rebuilding detail at the larger size. A live progress bar shows how far along it is.
Download the enlarged photo
You get a full-resolution PNG ready for printing or sharing. Repeat with a different scale if you want to compare.
Your file never leaves your device. All AI processing runs locally in your browser on your own hardware — there is no upload, no queue, and no copy stored on any server. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and everything still works.
