About this app

Stop compromising on privacy for quality. Upscale AI brings professional-grade super-resolution directly to your Mac—100% offline. Whether you are restoring vintage family photos, enlarging textures for game design, or fixing blurry 4K video, Upscale AI uses Apple’s Neural Engine to deliver crisp, high-definition results without ever uploading your data to a server. WHY CHOOSE UPSCALE AI? Most AI upscalers use cloud-based credits and monthly subscriptions. We believe your tools should belong to you. One-Time Purchase: No subscriptions. No credits. Unlimited upscaling forever. 100% Private: All processing happens locally on your Mac. Your photos never leave your device. No Image Size Limits: Our unique Tile-Based Processing handles images of any resolution (tested up to 70MP) without crashing, by maintaining constant, low memory usage. POWERFUL UTILITY FEATURES Super-Resolution (0.5x to 4.0x): Transform low-res images into 4K and 8K masterpieces using Real-ESRGAN technology. AI Video Enhancer: Bring grainy home movies into the modern era with frame-by-frame AI sharpening. Batch Processing: Drag and drop an entire folder to upscale hundreds of images while you work on other tasks. Zero Artifacts: Our advanced "Tile Padding" strategy eliminates seams and boundary lines for a perfectly smooth output. Unblur & Denoise: Automatically remove JPEG compression artifacts and digital noise from low-light shots. OPTIMIZED FOR APPLE SILICON Built from the ground up for macOS, Upscale AI is a native "Universal" app. Neural Engine Accelerated: Optimized for M1, M2, M3, and M4 chips. Silicon Native: Up to 78x faster than traditional CPU-only upscalers. Low Battery Impact: Efficient processing that won't make your fans spin or drain your MacBook. OPEN SOURCE TRUST Upscale AI is built on a transparent, open-source foundation (wengjiyao/upscale-enhance). We leverage the best community-vetted models to ensure professional results that photographers, digital artists, and developers can rely on.
