AI Image Upscaler

Upscale Blurry Text in Your Images with AI for Enhanced Readability

Enlarge scans, screenshots, and signage so every letter stays readable and every glyph stays the glyph it was. Nothing gets repainted into something that only looks like text.

Faithful models

Enlarge Text Without Rewriting It

The faithful models enlarge textual content while keeping the original font, crisp strokes, and fine details exactly as they are, with no unwanted alterations.

Examples

Text Is Where Upscalers Get Caught Lying

A slightly hallucinated tree branch is invisible. A slightly hallucinated letterform is gibberish. Text is the hardest content for AI enhancement because readers verify every stroke, which is why generic creative upscalers turn small print into convincing nonsense. The faithful model treats each letterform as structure to be sharpened, not repainted, and keeps font, stroke weight, and the contrast between text and background while multiplying resolution.

Where Legible Text Actually Matters

Scanned contracts and archival documents where every clause must stay verifiable, historical materials being digitized, screenshots in documentation and bug reports, whiteboard photos, old signage, and infographics that get reshared until compression destroys them. In each case the test is the same: can a reader zoom in and trust what they see? Upscaled output holds up to that test at print size and on high-DPI displays.

Settings That Work

  • Model: any faithful model; P Image Upscale is the default in the upscale tool
  • Scale: 2x for screens, 4x for reprints and OCR
  • Enhance Faces: off
  • Source: a PNG screenshot beats a re-saved JPEG, and a 300 DPI scan beats a phone photo

Before You Publish

Proofread any AI-touched text before it goes out. For documents headed to OCR, upscale first so the engine gets clean strokes to work with. Test a difficult scan on the free no-signup upscaler and zoom to 100% on the smallest line.

Frequently Asked Questions

With the faithful model, yes: it sharpens the strokes that are there and never substitutes characters.

Screenshots are an ideal source because they are already lossless. Menus, code, and small UI labels come out crisp at 2x or 4x, which is useful for documentation and slides.

It enlarges and sharpens small print cleanly as long as the strokes are distinguishable in the source. Text that is already merged into blobs by compression is beyond any upscaler; start from the best copy you have.

Usually. A 2x to 4x faithful upscale gives the OCR engine clean, well-separated strokes to work with, which helps most on small print. Test one page before batching a scan.
