Better than a normal resize
A normal resize only stretches pixels, so the photo gets bigger but softer. The AI model predicts the missing detail, giving crisp edges, cleaner text and less blocky compression noise.
It works best on photos, screenshots and logos that are small or slightly blurry. It cannot recover a face that is completely out of focus.

The Real-ESRGAN model runs on your device. It downloads once (2.4 MB), and your photos are never uploaded.
