Why Upscale With SplitShire
A free AI image upscaler that adds real detail instead of just stretching pixels.
Up to 4× Larger
Go from a 2,048 px image to 8,192 px, big enough for an A2 print at 300 DPI.
Faces Stay Natural
Eyes, skin and hair get sharper without the waxy, over-smoothed look.
Text and Edges Stay Crisp
Logos, lettering and fine lines come out clean instead of blurry or jagged.
Clean PNG Output
Every upscale downloads as a lossless PNG, so no quality is lost.
Faithful or Creative: Two Ways to Upscale
Pick how much the AI is allowed to change. You can try both on the same image.
Faithful
Keeps every detail as it is and only makes it bigger and sharper. Nothing new is added.
- Product photos and packshots
- Portraits and headshots
- Logos, text and screenshots
- Photos you need to keep true to life
Creative
Adds new texture and fine detail while it enlarges, guided by an optional prompt. Choose Low, Medium or High strength.
- AI art and illustrations
- Small or soft images that need more detail
- Wallpapers and posters
- Landscapes, fabrics and skin texture
Print Sizes at 300 DPI

Questions
Everything you need to know about upscaling images on SplitShire.
Is the AI image upscaler free?
Yes. New accounts get free credits, and an upscale uses 5 to 30 credits depending on the scale. You can try it on your own images or on anything you made on SplitShire.
How big can I make an image?
Up to 4× on each edge. A 2,048 px image becomes 8,192 px, which prints sharply at A2 size at 300 DPI.
Will upscaling change my image?
Not in Faithful mode, which only enlarges and sharpens. Creative mode adds new detail and texture, and you choose how strong it is.
Which file types can I upload?
JPG, PNG and WEBP. Every upscale downloads as a PNG so no quality is lost.
Will faces still look natural?
Yes. Faces, eyes and skin are sharpened without the plastic, over-smoothed look of older upscalers.
Can I upscale images I did not make on SplitShire?
Yes. Upload any photo, artwork or screenshot that you have the right to use.
