Araluma's AI upscaler takes a small or soft photo and rebuilds it at a higher resolution, with cleaner edges and more detail than a plain stretch would give. Add up to five images to the grid, press Upscale, and each one is sent to the AI to be enlarged, then comes back ready to download, on its own or as a zip. The result is targeted to a high resolution, not a fixed multiple. A small image grows a lot. One near the limit is mostly sharpened. The work happens in the cloud and takes seconds per image. Your photo is processed for the upscale and removed from the flow after, never sold and never shared. There is a daily limit, and there is nothing to install. Add an image and let the AI enlarge it. From there you can crop, compress, or cut out the result.
Drop up to five photos onto the grid, or pick them from your device. Press Upscale, and each image is sent off to the AI, which rebuilds it at a higher resolution and traces cleaner edges than a simple enlargement would. A real progress bar follows the work while it runs. When it is done, you download a sharper image on its own, or the whole set as a zip. There is no slider to set and no preview to fiddle with. You add your photos and press one button.
The AI aims for a high-resolution result rather than a fixed multiple, so how much bigger your image gets depends on how small it started. A little thumbnail grows a lot, while a photo already near the size limit comes back about the same size but noticeably sharper. Either way the edges are cleaner. The detail holds together at a larger size, which a plain stretch can never do. The exact pixels you end up with are shown when the result is ready.
The upscaler takes JPG, PNG, and WebP photos, the formats that decode cleanly with full color. Each image can be up to twenty megabytes and just under fifteen megapixels, which covers nearly any phone or camera shot. A photo already at that ceiling is past the point where enlarging helps anyway, so the limit rarely gets in the way. Files outside those formats or over the size are turned away with a clear message rather than a silent failure.
Each image you add is sent off to be upscaled, then removed from the flow once the work is done, never sold and never handed to anyone else. There is a daily limit on how many images one person can upscale, since each one is a real piece of AI work, so a heavy batch may need to wait until the next day. For most people, a handful of photos a day sits well inside it. Every result also gives you a link to share and a way to delete it.
Upscaling is the right move when an image is too small or too soft for where it needs to go. If instead the photo is big enough but heavy, that is a job for a different step. Once your image is enlarged you can crop it down to the part that matters, compress it so the extra resolution does not slow a page down, or cut out the subject for a clean placement somewhere new.
Some photos gain the most from an upscale. Think of an old picture saved small years ago. Or a phone shot zoomed in until it went soft. Or a product image that must look crisp on a big screen, and art or logos that have to scale up cleanly. All come back better. Photos that are already large and sharp gain the least, since there is little for the AI to add. The clearer the subject and the simpler the noise, the cleaner the enlarged result.
Drop up to five images onto the grid, or pick them from your device. Each one is upscaled on its own.
One button starts the work. There is no slider and no format to pick, the AI handles the enlargement for you.
A real progress bar follows each image as it is rebuilt, so you always know how far along the work is.
See the higher-resolution image and confirm it looks the way you want before you save it.
Save the sharper image, or a zip for a set, to your device. Your photo is removed from the flow after the work.
Upscaling is one step. Trim the enlarged image to what matters, make the file lighter for the web, or lift the subject off its background.
Yes, and the key word is rebuilds, not stretches. A stretch just spreads the pixels you already have, which is where the soft, blocky look comes from. The AI instead draws in new edges and texture so the photo holds up larger. How far it grows is shown the moment the result is ready.
Stick to photos and the common ones all work: a JPG, a PNG, or a WebP goes through fine. Each file can run to twenty megabytes and just under fifteen megapixels. Anything in another format, or larger than that, is turned away up front with a clear note, so nothing fails silently mid-run.
Yes, you can add up to five images to the grid and press Upscale once. Each photo is enlarged on its own and the set comes back together as a zip, with a real progress count rather than a fake bar. A single image comes back on its own instead. There is a daily limit on how many you can upscale.
Your photo is sent off to be enlarged, then removed from the flow once the result is ready, and you get a way to delete it yourself. It is never sold and never handed to anyone else. Because the AI runs on cloud servers, the image does leave your device for the few seconds the upscale takes, which is what makes the higher resolution possible.
Not exactly. The AI adds plausible new detail that fits the photo rather than recovering the original information, which was never in the smaller file to begin with. The result looks sharper and holds together at a larger size, but it is the model's best guess at what belongs there, not a perfect rebuild of what the camera once saw.
Yes, and the result comes back with nothing stamped on it. You can save the higher-resolution image and use it wherever you need without paying for the download. There is a daily limit on how many images one person can upscale, since each one is a real piece of AI work, but for most people a few photos a day fits comfortably.
Because it is already close to the size limit. The AI targets a high resolution, so a photo that starts near that ceiling has little room to grow and comes back mostly sharpened instead of much larger. The biggest jumps come from small images, an old thumbnail or a tightly cropped phone shot, where there is plenty of room to add resolution.
There is nothing to install. Open the page, add up to five photos with a click or a drag, and press Upscale. Each image is rebuilt at a higher resolution in seconds and comes back ready to save, on its own or bundled as a zip, at the new size the AI produced.
