Question 1

Is UpscalePix really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. During public beta, upscaling is completely free and unlimited — no account, no watermark, no queues.

Question 2

Are my images uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. Every image is processed entirely inside your browser using a local AI engine (WebAssembly / WebGL). Your photos never leave your device.

Question 3

How is this different from regular image resizing?

Accepted Answer

Traditional resizing stretches pixels, which makes images blurry. UpscalePix uses a deep-learning model (Real-ESRGAN) that reconstructs missing detail, sharpens edges and removes noise.

Question 4

What image sizes and types can I upload?

Accepted Answer

We support JPG, PNG and WebP up to 25 MB, with 2x or 4x output.

Question 5

Why does the first run download a model?

Accepted Answer

The AI model (~2–35 MB) runs locally. It downloads once and is cached in your browser, so later runs start instantly.

Question 6

Can I use the results commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Images you enhance are yours — no watermarks, no restrictions, including commercial use.
