How much does it cost?

The applicable prices are those displayed on our pricing page at the time of purchase. Prices are shown in US Dollars (USD). Please note that VAT and/or local taxes may be added to the final price, depending on your region.

You can choose from two types of plans:

Check out our pricing page to see all the details.

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel your subscription at any time. Log in to your dashboard, go to your account settings, and click on "Manage Subscription" or "Billing." You'll be redirected to Stripe's billing portal where you can download invoices, switch plans, and cancel your subscription. Your account stays active until the end of your current billing period, so you keep using all features until then. No penalties, no hassle.

What's your refund policy?

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee for new monthly subscriptions. If you're not satisfied within the first 30 days, contact us for a full refund.

However, due to the substantial expenses associated with AI-driven image processing (particularly GPU processing costs), we generally cannot offer refunds for one-time payment credits. Our upstream providers don't allow us to request refunds for GPU processing, so issuing refunds would result in a financial loss. One-time payment credits aren't refundable, but they never expire—use them whenever you're ready.

Exception: If you experience technical issues that prevent image processing due to errors on our end, we'll restore the corresponding credits to your account rather than providing monetary refunds.

What happens to my credits if I cancel?

You keep all unused credits after canceling. You just won't get new monthly credits. One-time payment credits never expire, so you can use them anytime—even years later.

When do I get access after subscribing?

Right away! Your premium features activate within seconds of payment. You'll have instant access to higher resolutions, processing history, and cloud storage. No waiting around.

What currency do you use?

All prices are in US Dollars (USD). If you're outside the US, your bank or credit card company will convert the amount, and you'll see the converted charge on your statement.

Is the payment service secure?

Yes, our payment service is 100% secure. Financial processing is handled by Stripe, one of the world's most trusted payment processors. We never store your card details on our servers—Stripe handles everything securely. Stripe maintains security standards comparable to those of banks, so your payment information is safe.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept payments via credit or debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. All payments are processed securely through Stripe. Currently, we do not accept PayPal or cryptocurrency.

Features & Technical

What's the highest resolution I can get?

You can upscale to:

  • 2K: Fast processing, works great for most photos
  • 4K: High quality, perfect for printing and displays
  • 8K: Ultra-high quality, ideal for large prints
  • 16K: Maximum quality, best for professional work

The highest you can go is 16K. Which resolutions are available depends on your original image quality and which AI model you pick (Beta, V1 Fast, or V2 Pro).

How does the AI upscaler and enhancer work?

It's like having a magic wand! Our AI transforms any image you choose into a higher-resolution version, adding as much detail as you need. We use advanced deep learning models trained on huge image datasets, including ESRGAN, Real-ESRGAN, and other cutting-edge neural networks. The AI analyzes your image and intelligently enhances resolution and detail while keeping things looking natural.

You can choose from different AI models (Beta, V1 Fast, V2 Pro) and resolution options (2K, 4K, 8K, 16K) to control the level of enhancement. Each model has different strengths—some are faster, others produce higher quality results.

What AI technology do you use?

We use advanced deep learning models trained on huge image datasets. Our AI includes ESRGAN, Real-ESRGAN, and other cutting-edge neural networks that boost resolution and detail while keeping artifacts to a minimum. The result? High-quality upscaling that looks natural.

Will the upscaled images have artifacts?

Sometimes, yes—but in most cases, artifacts are minimal and can be controlled. Most artifacts occur when processing very low-quality source images or when using certain AI models with challenging content.

To minimize artifacts, try using the V2 Pro model for higher quality results, or start with a better quality source image. If you notice artifacts in your processed image, you can try processing it again with a different model or adjust the resolution settings. Our AI is designed to keep artifacts to a minimum while enhancing your images.

What's the difference between Beta, V1 Fast, and V2 Pro?

You can pick from three models:

  • Beta: Our newest experimental models—best quality, but takes a bit longer
  • V1 Fast: Optimized for speed—quick processing with solid results
  • V2 Pro: Highest quality—best for professional work, may take longer

Try different models to see which one works best for your images.

Can I process multiple images at once?

Yes! Upload up to 3 images at the same time. They'll all process together, saving you time. Perfect when you have a batch of photos to enhance.

What format will my processed image be in?

You'll get your image in one of these formats:

  • JPG/JPEG: Most common, good file size
  • PNG: Lossless quality, larger files
  • WEBP: Modern format, great compression

The exact format depends on your original image and what you're processing.

How does processing history work?

If you're logged in, we save all your processed images in your account. You can see everything you've done, download images again, and check details like which model you used and when you processed it. Great for keeping track of your work.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes! Our site works on phones, tablets, and computers. Just open your browser and go. All features work the same way on mobile.

To upscale on iPhone: Open Safari or Chrome → Go to OnlineImageUpscaler.com → Upload a photo from your gallery → Let the AI process it → Download to your phone. That's it!
