For photographers, designers and print professionals who use AI as a tool, not as a vehicle.

01
Client sent a 400px logo from 2012? Why does it always happen on a Friday, and of course it's 4pm.
02
Old portfolio or placeholder images stuck at 72dpi? Every redesign, ever.
03
200 event photos that need to be print-ready by tomorrow? Oops, the DSLR was on the wrong setting.

Drop the folder. Walk away. Done.

Works for pros. But you don't have to be one.

Remember that photo from 2014 you still love?

It's probably 640 × 640 pixels.

Too small for a decent print.

Not anymore.

Other upscalers inflate;
Enlarger refines.

What takes hours in post-production takes minutes here.

Drop a folder, go make coffee, come back to print-ready files. Batch processing built in, no per-image babysitting.

A finishing pass that reintroduces texture that AI flattens away.

Every image undergoes automatic post-processing that preserves fine details, distinguishing it from a hallucinated render.

Seven options. That's it. We made the decisions so you don't have to.

Runs on your machine. Your images never leave it.

No uploads, no cloud processing, no waiting in a queue behind someone else's pet portraits.

Since Enlarger doesn't use generative AI, it's faster than GPU-heavy alternatives and won't hallucinate details that weren't there.

Fast, because it's not guessing.

No generative model spinning up on every file. Lighter on the GPU, gentler on the fan. No variance, no surprises.

Before you download.

Q·01 Is Enlarger really offline? No cloud, no telemetry?

Yup. Every image is processed on your machine. Nothing uploads, nothing leaves your disk.

Enlarger has the upscaling models built in, and the only time you need an internet connection is before the license activation. After that, use it offline wherever you go, no matter the connection.

Q·02 How is this different from generative AI upscalers?

Generative upscalers invent detail. They guess what a high-resolution version might look like, which works until it doesn't (extra fingers, waxy skin, signage that reads as alien typography).

Enlarger reconstructs what's already there and then applies a finishing pass that reintroduces texture from the original picture.

The output should look like the same photograph, only bigger in size. Not a different photograph that resembles it.

Q·03 What are some good use cases for Enlarger?

Enlarger works great with material digitized and saved in the 2000s and 2010s. Some examples:

  • Old scans of printed photos, documents, or artwork
  • Your favorite home album pics from the low-megapixel era
  • Screenshots or exports from early smartphones
  • Low-resolution album covers
  • Images pulled from old blog posts or forum threads

Common web compression formats like WebP or AVIF save space but can cost you quality and sharpness. Enlarger can recover some of what's lost and it doesn't require actual upscaling, just choose the 1x option to enhance without resizing.

And hey, sometimes you just need a placeholder image for that presentation! You've credited it properly, but it's not available in source quality? Run it through Enlarger and make your decks look sharp.

Q·04 Can Enlarger process multiple images at once?

Enlarger has a queue-based workflow with batch parallel processing available. Drop in a whole folder of images, configure your settings once, and let it run.

No need to open each photo one at a time in an editor and repeat the same steps. If you're sitting on a hundred old family photos or an entire album's worth of art, this is where Enlarger really shines.

Q·05 Why does my image have noise?

If you prefer a smoother, denoised look, you can turn off noise.

Most AI upscalers remove noise by default. Enlarger takes the opposite approach, adding a subtle layer of noise or grain in post-processing.

Whether you like the result comes down to personal preference, and your mileage will vary depending on the image.

Q·06 Do you have a subscription plan?

Nope. You pay once and own a copy of the current major version, like in the good old days. When the next major version comes out, it's up to you to decide if the upgrade is worth it.

Q·07 Does Enlarger have an API? What about a web-based application?

Not yet. We're still early in our journey. If you'd like to see these features happen, spread the word! The more support we get, the sooner we can expand our offerings.

Let AI do the dishes while you cook the meal.
