How to make a photo HD

  1. Drop the photo in. JPG, PNG, WebP or an iPhone HEIC.
  2. Pick 2x or 4x. 2x turns a 1000 pixel photo into 2000; 4x into 4000, which is past 4K.
  3. Compare and download. Drag the divider to see before and after, zoom in on the pixels, then download at full size.

What HD means here

Pixels
HD is 1280 by 720, full HD 1920 by 1080, 4K 3840 by 2160. A 2x or 4x enlargement takes most phone and web photos past full HD.
Detail
Edges, text and texture are rebuilt, not just stretched. Grain and JPG blocks go; skin stays skin.
Faces
For a portrait with a soft face, the Pro model restores every face with a free account, one credit a photo.

Questions people ask

Can it make a WhatsApp photo HD?

Yes. That is the typical case: the app shrank and compressed it; this puts the size and detail back.

Is the result really sharper, or just bigger?

Sharper. Compare with the divider; the difference is in the edges and the texture.

What size does it download at?

Full size, up to about 8K on the long side, as PNG, JPG or WebP.

Does it work on old scanned photos?

Yes. For faded or damaged scans the Restore old photos page is the better start.
