What's New in SharpUpscale
5.0
September 22, 2026
Faster upscaling and a rebuilt quality ladder. New AI models for 4x and 8x • Two new models trained on real world photos replace the old ones. Standard, Enhanced and Ultra now each use a different model, so the quality you pick is the quality you get. Edges, hair and fine textures look cleaner and more natural. Ultra, rebuilt • Ultra now runs two different AI models over your photo and combines them, keeping the detail both agree on. The extra smoothing pass that could leave skin and textures looking waxy is gone. Much faster • Processing now runs on the Neural Engine with a smarter tiling scheme. Everyday modes finish about three times sooner, and Ultra is up to thirteen times faster than in the previous version. Also in this update • Support for iOS 27 • Faster Noise Reduction • Processing starts right away because the AI gets ready while you choose your settings • Smaller download • A clear message when your device is low on storage, instead of stopping without warning • Mode cards no longer change size when you switch between them
