make your picture bigger. moarpixels is a one-tap photo upscaler. drop in a 12-megapixel shot, get a 195-megapixel image back โ sharp enough to print as a poster. โ 4ร upscale powered by an on-device neural network โ runs locally on your iPhone or iPad. nothing uploaded. nothing collected. โ tuned for AI-generated art and photos with fine detail โ tells you the exact print size at 300 DPI before you save โ saves straight to your Photos library โ iPad-adaptive layout why on-device? your photos never leave your phone. no servers, no accounts, no monthly fee. the model runs on Apple's Neural Engine, so there's nothing to upload and nothing to wait on. why one-time? because a $10/month upscaler costs more in a year than this app costs once. honest about scope: moarpixels does one thing โ make pictures bigger. no editor, no filters, no social. that's the whole pitch. privacy: no analytics, no tracking, no data collection of any kind. all processing runs entirely on-device. requirements: iPhone or iPad running iOS 18 or later.
