Is this really AI or just resizing?

It uses the Swin2SR lightweight super-resolution neural model at a fixed 2× scale. Browser interpolation is not presented as AI.

Can it recover authentic missing detail?

No. Detail is estimated and can be incorrect, especially text and faces. It is not forensic reconstruction or identity verification.

What downloads or leaves my browser?

Starting downloads model/configuration files from Hugging Face; that service sees normal connection metadata. Your image is processed locally. Input limit is 20 MB and 1024 × 1024 pixels. Transparency is composited onto your selected background.

Model files download from Hugging Face only after Start. Images stay in this browser. Processing uses overlapping tiles to limit memory and can take several minutes. Cancel immediately stops the worker.

Up to 1024 × 1024 input pixels. Transparency is composited onto your selected background. No face restoration, generative filling or claims of recovering authentic missing detail.

Your images are not uploaded. A network connection is required for the first model download.

AI may introduce incorrect textures or alter lettering and faces. Do not use enhanced detail as evidence of what the original image contained.

What Is the AI Image Upscaler · Local 2× Enhancement?

A genuine learned super-resolution workspace, separate from ordinary image resizing. It runs the Swin2SR lightweight 2× model locally using Transformers.js and overlapping tiles to bound memory. It does not upload your image to an AI provider.

How It Works

Choose an image up to 1024 × 1024, select a background for transparent areas and press Start local AI. The first run downloads model files from Hugging Face. Watch tile progress, compare the result and export PNG, JPEG or WebP. Cancel stops the worker.

When to Use It

Enlarge small graphics and photos where a learned detail estimate is useful. Keep the original, especially when accurate lettering, identity or evidentiary detail matters.
