Enlarger
Image upscaling w/o the AI look. Offline, one-time purchase.
Most image AI upscalers use generative models that invent detail. Skin goes waxy, textures vanish. Enlarger reconstructs what's already there. No hallucinations. Same result every run. Fully offline after activation. Under 150 MB with models included. CPU optimized for Apple Silicon, but works nicely on Windows as well. Batch processing, no per-image limits. One-time purchase. 10 free images, no signup, no watermark. Early bird $39/€39.
I built Enlarger because I kept running my photos through upscalers and getting back images that didn't look like mine anymore. Waxy skin, smoothed-out textures, hallucinated details. The photo got bigger but it stopped looking like what I intended to express.
I wanted something that sits between free-but-too-basic and expensive-and-overwhelming. An upscaler that respects the source image instead of reimagining it. Simple enough to just drop a folder in and walk away, but with enough control for real pre- or post-production work.
The approach was to go back; skip heavy modern generative models entirely and focus on reconstruction. No invented detail, same result every run. I also wanted it to feel native on your machine, not like a heavy GPU-hungry tool fighting your image editor for resources.
There's a free trial with 10 images if you want to see how it handles your own files.
Would love to hear what you think!
