Pixelup is an AI photo upscaler that restores crisp detail, reduces noise, and fixes compression artifacts—right on your device. Open any low-resolution image, upscale it up to 4×, preview the result, and export in high resolution for social, print, or storefronts. The first sentence is punchy and clear, then a scannable feature list—exactly the pattern Apple recommends for product pages. Apple Developer What you get 4× AI upscaling that preserves natural textures and edges Noise and artifact reduction for screenshots, chats, and old photos Aspect-ratio safe pipeline to avoid stretching or crops Before/after viewer with instant zoom High-resolution export (JPG/PNG), originals stay untouched Why it works Pixelup’s enhancement engine builds on modern real-world super-resolution research (e.g., Real-ESRGAN) designed to reconstruct detail while suppressing artifacts in everyday photos.
