What it can and cannot do
First, the limit: motion blur and focus blur are not undone here, and no slider pretends otherwise. What this page does is the part that can honestly be done. JPEG blocking and noise are removed at source scale, before enlarging, so they are not enlarged with the photo; the enlargement is Lanczos3 or a model you choose; and detail is added afterwards with a clamp that stops bright halos on edges. Not sure the photo has detail to bring out? The low resolution to high resolution page measures it first.
What it will not do
- No deblurring, no colourising, no repair of tears or missing areas.
- Same size, cleaner is cleaner, not higher resolution.
- Real-ESRGAN can reshape small lettering; the studio says so when it has run.
