Image Enlarger

What is Image Enlarger?

Image Enlarger is a free online tool that increases the size of your images while maintaining quality. Unlike basic stretching that creates blurry results, our tool uses advanced upscaling algorithms that add detail and smooth edges as it scales your image up to 8x larger.

Why Would You Need to Enlarge Images?

Here are common situations where enlarging images comes in handy:

• Printing photos: Turn small digital photos into large prints for framing or posters
• Presentations: Make images big enough for projectors and large screens without looking pixelated
• Social media: Upscale old or small photos to meet platform requirements
• Product images: Create high-resolution product photos for e-commerce sites
• Wallpapers: Convert regular photos into 4K or 8K desktop wallpapers
• Old photo restoration: Enlarge vintage or low-resolution photos while improving quality

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the maximum enlargement size?

You can enlarge images up to 8x (800%) using the quick buttons, or enter custom dimensions up to 20,000 pixels wide.

Will enlarging affect image quality?

Some quality loss is inevitable when enlarging, but our algorithms minimize this. The "High Quality" method produces the best results by gradually stepping up the size rather than jumping directly to the final dimensions.

Which upscaling method should I use?

For 2x enlargements, "Fast" works fine. For 2-4x, use "Balanced". For anything larger, "High Quality" gives noticeably better results.

Can I enlarge multiple images at once?

Yes! Click "Batch Mode" to upload and enlarge multiple images with the same settings. All enlarged images are packaged into a ZIP file.

What output formats are available?

You can keep the original format or convert to JPG, PNG, or WebP. Use the quality slider to balance file size and image quality.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Your images are processed securely and automatically deleted after enlargement. We don't store or share your files.
