Upscale a PNG

Pixel-perfect mode turns every pixel into a clean square: sprites, favicons, retro art and tiny screenshots stay sharp. Smooth mode interpolates in steps for photos and gradients.

questions

Is this AI upscaling?
No. It is exact resampling that runs instantly and never invents detail. Pixel art comes out perfect; photos get bigger but not sharper.
Is there a size limit?
Browsers cap a canvas at 16384 pixels per side; the factor is reduced to stay under it.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The whole tool runs in your browser tab. Files never leave your device.
Is it really private?
Yes. The tool is code that runs in your browser tab. Your PNGs are never sent to a server. Open the network tab and check. Nobody is watching. Goon in peace.

Pixel-perfect versus smooth

Pixel-perfect mode turns each pixel into an exact square of pixels: sprites, emoji, favicons, retro art and tiny UI screenshots stay razor sharp instead of turning into a blur. Smooth mode interpolates in steps of two for photographs and gradients, which avoids the ringing you get from a single big jump.

What it will not do

It does not invent detail. A 200-pixel photo enlarged four times is a bigger 200-pixel photo. For that you want a machine-learning upscaler; this tool is for the cases where exact resampling is the right answer, and it runs in a blink on any device.
