Frequently asked questions

How much can it really recover from a small photo?

2x, 4x or 8x, with the honest caveat that it reconstructs plausible detail rather than recovering information that was never captured. A sharp small original beats a large, heavily re-compressed one - why AI-upscaled photos look fake covers where the limit is.

Should I restore an old photo before upscaling it?

Yes. Enlarging a damaged scan sharpens the damage too, because the model cannot tell a scratch from a feature. Repair first with Old Photo Restorer, then upscale.

Does it handle faces differently from the rest of the image?

Yes - smart face enhancement works on faces separately, alongside blur and noise removal and selectable quality modes.

Are my photos uploaded for processing?

No. The AI runs on the device across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Vision Pro.
