Photiu AI Image Upscaler

What's great

This tool is a game-changer for low-resolution images! I'm particularly impressed with how it handles images below 1000px resolution:

Exceptional upscaling for small images: Images under 1000px resolution get transformed dramatically - blurry, pixelated photos become crystal-clear and sharp

Brings old photos back to life: Perfect for restoring low-quality images from older cameras or downloaded web images

Detail reconstruction: The AI intelligently fills in missing details, making small images look like they were shot in high resolution

Fast processing: Upscales low-res images in ~5 seconds

What needs improvement

Bigger photo need improvement

vs Alternatives

Speed: Processing takes only about 5 seconds per image - much faster than some competitors that can take 30+ seconds.

Simplicity: Clean, straightforward interface without overwhelming options or complicated settings. I can get results quickly without a learning curve.

How does it handle heavy noise or grainy photos?

Results vary depending on the type and severity of noise

How fast is the upscaling for large images?

The upscaling speed is impressively fast! Most images process in around 5 seconds or less.

Does it work well on smartphone photos and screenshots?

It's definitely useful for smartphone photos and screenshots, especially if you need to rescue blurry text. Just keep in mind that very small fonts may not be fully restored. For regular-sized text and images, the results are solid!

Small text (very tiny fonts) still needs improvement.

For screenshots with extremely small text, don't expect perfect clarity.
