Icons8 has released a new online tool powered by AI: Smart Upscaler helps users to enlarge small images and improve their quality easily.
Welcome to the online Image Enlarger This free online tool allows you to upscale small images without losing quality or introducing distortion (also known as 'artifacts'). Our tool provides several resampling methods which are suitable for different types of images (e.g. Line art vs photographs) and allows you to choose your preferred upscaled. Let’s Enhance uses a neural network to upscale the images but unlike other attempts, the system first identifies the type of image, such as a portrait or landscape, then uses a separate network.
Smart Upscaler is the shortcut to getting images of low quality bigger and better with the help of machine learning. Users get integrate sharpening, noise reduction, and upscaling all through our fully-automated process. Making your assets and user content pop has never been easier. Join the release party on Product Hunt or check the details right here.
Do you ever find the perfect picture, but it is just too small or grainy to use? Well, with a little help from AI we can solve this without a hint of drama. Just drag an image into the upscaler and pick from 2x or 4x enlargement. Presto! You now have a larger, sharper image.
Features
How Does It Work?
The upscaler is a fully automated process that uses machine learning to do pattern recognition and decide how edges and shapes within an image should look while increasing the overall size. This process has been trained on large datasets, allowing the tool to accurately clear up images.
Uploaded images are stored securely and deleted as soon as processing has completed. They are not used or shared in any way.
What Images Work with Smart Upscaler?
Images in JPEG or PNG format that are smaller than 3000×3000 in resolution will have the best results. The smaller the image, the more dramatic the upscaling will be.
Is Smart Upscaler Free?
Yes, you can use the Smart Upscaler to enlarge images for free. If you have large batches of photos please consider using our API integration or ask us for other options, contact us at [email protected]
Don’t wait long, try Smart Upscaler for your creative goals, join the release party on Product Hunt and let us know what you think. Your feedback is what makes our products closer to users’ needs. Cheers!

A Sharper Scaling is a high quality image scaling technology mainly developed for upscaling.
An implementation for Microsoft Windows is available as freeware from this site. Examples
The following examples are most clear if the images are viewed in their original resolution. Otherwise, the browser does another image scaling on top, somewhat obfuscating the differences these examples are about.
It's usually easy to get the original resolution shown. On a Windows PC or Notebook, just hold down the Ctrl key and spin the mouse wheel up or down until the left side pattern of this test stripe looks exactly like a miniature version of the right side pattern (chessboard-like).
For comparison, all examples show the results of two conventional methods as well. Bicubic interpolation is what most image editors offer as the most appropriate method for image scaling. The interpolation results are a bit blurry, so another conventional action might be to sharpen them. (The sharpening method used for the examples is 'unsharp masking'.)

The 3rd alternative shown is a scaling method Adobe introduced in 2013 with Photoshop CC, called 'Preserve Details'. (I suppose it's also based on bicubic interpolation internally, but I may be wrong.) The function has a single adjustment 'Reduce Noise' which was set to zero for the test because the pictures have very little noise only.
Example pictures to scale:

Small versions of whole pictures are probably not the most typical use case for image upscaling. Ideally, upscaling is the first geometric transformation, which means that the input still has the resolution of the camera. The next examples are details of pictures coming directly from the cam:
(These are critical details not random. Many other details don't show much difference between A.S.S. and a sharpened interpolation.)

Apart From Scaling
Although A Sharper Scaling does nothing but scaling images, it can also contribute to the quality of other geometric transformations like rotation, perspective correction, or lens distortion correction. Just upscale the image by a factor of x before the transformation and downscale it back by x after that. Whether this has a benefit or not depends on the image editor used and the type of transformation. (In the example, x was chosen to be 2. The image editor used was Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.)
