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

1

Upload the scanned photo

Drop the scan or old digital file. It opens locally — a private archive stays private.

2

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.

3

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.
