What you can do
5 specialized Topaz AI models
Standard V2 handles everyday photos. Low Resolution V2 rescues tiny or heavily compressed images. High Fidelity V2 preserves maximum detail. CGI is tuned for digital art and game assets. Text Refine keeps lettering sharp in screenshots and posters. Switch models to match the image.
Automatic face enhancement
Portraits get dedicated treatment — the AI restores eyes, skin texture, and hair without the plastic, over-smoothed look. Pair it with the denoise and sharpen controls to clean up grain from low-light or high-ISO shots.
Enlarge without the blur
A normal resize stretches the same pixels and softens everything. This image upscaler generates new detail instead, so enlarged photos stay sharp — no jagged edges, no mushy textures, no halos around contrast lines.
Fix low-resolution and old photos
Scanned prints, early-2000s camera shots, and thumbnail-sized product images come back usable. Low Resolution V2 is built for exactly this — recovering structure from sources most tools can't enlarge cleanly.
No install — runs in your browser
Upload JPG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, or AVIF; download PNG or JPEG. Everything renders on cloud GPUs, so it works on any device — Mac, Windows, Chromebook, or tablet. For footage instead of stills, use the video upscaler.
Get started
How to use
1
Upload your image
Drag and drop or browse to add a JPG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, or AVIF file. Upload several at once to process a batch.
2
Choose a model and scale
Pick one of 5 Topaz models, set 2× or 4×, and optionally toggle face enhancement, sharpen, and denoise. Subject detection focuses the AI on the foreground or background.
3
Download your high-res image
The AI processes in the cloud — no GPU needed on your end. Download the result as PNG or JPEG, ready for print, web, or store listings.
Who it's for
Use cases
Sharper e-commerce product photos
Supplier images and marketplace thumbnails are often too small for a clean storefront. Upscale them to crisp, zoomable product shots that meet Amazon, Shopify, and Etsy resolution requirements.
Restore old and scanned photos
Bring family prints, archival scans, and faded snapshots up to modern resolution. Low Resolution V2 recovers detail that a simple enlargement turns to mush.
Print and large-format output
Web images at 72 DPI fall apart on posters, banners, and packaging. Upscale to the pixel dimensions you need for sharp 300-DPI print without re-shooting.
Enhance AI-generated images
Outputs from the AI image generator sometimes render soft or at a capped resolution. Run them through the upscaler to add detail and reach print-ready size.

FAQ
Questions & answers
Is the AI image upscaler free?
Yes. Every PonPon account gets free daily credits — enough to upscale several images at no cost, with no credit card to sign up. For higher volume, paid plans add more credits and priority processing.
How do I upscale an image to 4K?
Open the tool, upload your photo, choose a Topaz model and a 2× or 4× scale factor, then download the result. The AI rebuilds detail as it enlarges, so you can upscale your image and keep it sharp at high resolution.
Can I upscale an image without losing quality?
Yes — that's the difference between AI upscaling and a plain resize. Instead of stretching existing pixels, the AI generates new detail to match, so edges and textures stay crisp. Choose High Fidelity V2 when preserving the most detail matters.
What is the best AI image upscaler?
It depends on the image — a portrait, a screenshot full of text, and a piece of CG art each enhance best with a different model. PonPon lets you try all five models on the same upload, so you can compare results before downloading.
How is this different from upscaling in Photoshop?
Photoshop's Preserve Details enlargement is a single general algorithm you tune by hand. PonPon runs 5 purpose-built Topaz models with automatic face enhancement, denoise, and sharpen — no layers or settings to learn, and nothing to install. You can open the upscaler and get a result in one click.
What image formats and sizes are supported?
Input: JPG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, and AVIF. Output: PNG or JPEG. You can upscale 2× or 4×, with optional face enhancement, sharpen, and denoise. To enhance footage instead of stills, upscale a video.
