No media upload is needed for enhancement, making Upscal useful for personal photos, family videos, illustrations, and content you want to keep on your device. OUTPUT THAT FITS YOUR DEVICE Choose a scale factor, resolution preset, or custom size. Very large outputs above 144 megapixels may exhaust available memory; the app warns before processing. Keep the app open while processing. For larger exports and more demanding video projects, use Upscal for Mac. TRY IT FREE Process up to five images per batch for free.
