Upscale an image with AI, right in your browser

A collage is only as sharp as its blurriest photo. Old snapshots, screenshots, and images saved from the web often look fine as thumbnails, then turn soft and pixelated the moment you scale them up or export for print. PasteCollage can now upscale an image with AI right in the browser, with no Photoshop, no desktop app, and no upload-to-some-site-and-download-again loop.

How to upscale an image

Add an image to your canvas (paste a URL, upload a file, or press Ctrl+V / ⌘V).
Select it and choose Upscale, the sparkles button in the image toolbar.
A few moments later the image is replaced in place at twice the resolution, same size and position on your canvas.

The AI doesn't just stretch pixels. It reconstructs edges, textures, and fine detail, so text stays readable and faces stay faces instead of dissolving into blur.

When it makes the difference

Old photos scanned or shot on early phone cameras, headed for a printed collage
Screenshots and web images that were never meant to be shown large
Small product shots that need to hold up on a moodboard you'll present
Anything you'll export to PDF for print, where soft images show immediately

Tips for the best result

Upscaling shines on small and medium images (roughly under 2000px). Photos that are already high-resolution won't gain much.
Upscale before removing the background: the cutout model gets more detail to work with, so edges come out cleaner.
Zoom in after it finishes. The difference is easiest to judge at 100%.

Upscaling is part of PasteCollage Premium, alongside unlimited background removal, premium templates, and custom canvas sizes. Everything else about the editor stays free, and your upscaled image drops straight into your collage or moodboard, ready to export as PNG or PDF.
