Upscale an Image 4x

Make a picture four times wider and taller with AI in your browser. Sharp edges, no seams, PNG, JPG or WebP. Free, and the image is never uploaded.

Runs in your browser. Your files are never uploaded. How it works

This page opens with Enlarge set to 4×: drop a picture and the AI makes it four times wider and taller, adding sharp edges and plausible detail. It is the scale the AI model works at, so small images benefit the most. Everything runs in your browser and the picture is never uploaded.

Upscale 4x in three steps

  1. Click Choose an image and pick a small photo, icon, drawing or screenshot.
  2. Keep 4×, choose Best or Fast under Quality, and click Upscale.
  3. Check the result with the Compare slider, then click Download. The file is saved as, for example, icon-4x.png.

When 4x makes sense

Starting picture Result
Thumbnail or small web image (around 500 px) About 2000 px, big enough for a full-width page
Old phone photo (around 1 megapixel) About 16 megapixels, enough for a larger print
Game sprite, icon or pixel-art-sized drawing Clean lines at a size you can edit
Photo already 6 megapixels or more Over the size cap, so reduced first. Use 2× instead

Tips

  • Crop away what you do not need before upscaling with Crop Image. A smaller input stays under the cap and finishes faster.
  • 4x files are large. Save as JPG or WebP, or run the result through Compress Image.
  • The AI cannot add detail that is not in the picture: tiny faces and writing stay unreadable.

Frequently asked questions

How big does a 4x image get?

Four times the width and four times the height, so 16 times the pixels. A 800 × 600 picture becomes 3200 × 2400. The result is capped at about 24 megapixels (about 8 on the processor); bigger inputs are reduced first and the tool tells you.

Is 4x better than 2x?

The AI model works at 4x, so 4x is its direct output. 2x and 3x are high-quality reductions of that result. Pick 4x for small pictures and 2x when the image is already large.

How long does a 4x upscale take?

It depends on your device. With Fast on the processor it takes about a minute per megapixel of input, so start with a small picture to try it.

Is my picture uploaded?

No. The model runs in your browser on your own device.
