A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Open Imupscale, import your image and choose a target resolution. Select Detail Engine or Turbo Engine, then start processing. Compare the result and export it to your chosen folder.
Imupscale is a native macOS app. This website shows an interactive comparison of a supplied photo and its actual result. Your own images are processed in the app, locally on your Mac.
The planned App Store version includes a free 50-day trial activated in the app. You can purchase the lifetime unlock during or after the trial. It does not automatically turn into a paid plan. After the trial, a purchase is required to process new images; your exported files remain yours.
No. The lifetime unlock is a one-time purchase with no per-image credits or recurring subscription. Processing speed and supported image sizes depend on your Mac and the app's technical limits.
Image processing runs locally using models included in the app. An internet connection may be needed for App Store downloads, purchase activation and restoring purchases.
Imupscale requires a Mac with Apple Silicon and macOS 15 or later. Export your results as PNG, JPEG, WebP or TIFF.
AI estimates and reconstructs detail; it cannot guarantee that new details match the original scene. Always review your results. Only process images you have the rights and permissions to use.
