Enhance image
Increase pixel dimensions, sharpen existing edges, and fine-tune tone — all in your browser.
Improve clarity with controls you can see and reverse.
Enhancement works best as a careful finishing pass. imgstools redraws the image at the selected scale, sharpens edges, and applies tonal adjustments. It can make existing detail easier to read, but it does not invent missing detail.
- Scale with intent
- Increase pixel dimensions for a larger delivery size while watching the full preview.
- Restore edge presence
- Use sharpening gently to offset softness introduced by scaling or a mild source blur.
- Balance the tone
- Adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation without sending the image to a server.
How to use Enhance image
- 1
Start from the strongest source
Choose the least-compressed, highest-resolution version available.
- 2
Set scale before styling
Choose the output size, then add sharpening and small tonal changes.
- 3
Inspect at detail level
Look at faces, type, hair, and hard edges before downloading the PNG.
Questions people ask
Is this an AI image enhancer?+
No. It uses browser canvas scaling, sharpening, and tone controls. It does not generate new objects or reconstruct missing detail.
Can it fix a heavily pixelated photo?+
It can make existing edges more legible, but severe blur or pixelation cannot be fully recovered from the source pixels.
Why is the enhanced file larger?+
Upscaling creates more pixels, and PNG prioritizes lossless detail. Use Resize or Compress for a smaller delivery file.
How do I fix a blurry photo online?+
Apply sharpening in small increments and check the preview at full size — sharpening improves edge definition on a slightly soft photo, but it cannot recover detail that was never captured in a heavily blurred original.
How much can I upscale an image without losing quality?+
Modest upscaling (up to about 2x) with sharpening applied afterward usually stays clean for web use. Larger jumps make softness and compression artifacts more visible, so check the result at full zoom before relying on it.
