Upscale photos with Flare, 4x AI super-resolution
Flare handles photography the way photographers expect: it preserves grain structure, suppresses blocky JPEG artifacts, and sharpens without haloing. For most consumer photo work (family albums, social media recovery, stock photo enlargement) it is the right first choice.
Flare adds nothing. Output is built only from detail already in your file, so the result stays true to what you uploaded. More about Flare
Why Flare for photos
- Tuned on real-world degraded photos, not clean synthetic data.
- Runs in seconds per 4x upscale at typical resolutions.
- Recovers detail rather than inventing it, so the result is still your photograph.
Workflow
- 1Upload your JPEG or PNG at upres.ai (2GB max per file).
- 2Pick Flare in the model picker. It is already selected by default.
- 3Choose 4x, or 2x for a lighter enhancement.
- 4Download the result and apply a light Unsharp Mask in your editor if you want more bite.
Honest caveat
Flare can over-smooth extreme close-up textures like stone or fabric weave. For those, Lumen recovers more.
