What this does differently
This page starts with one photo, not a folder. The first result is arithmetic and instant: Lanczos3 at 2×, nothing downloaded. The models — ESPCN, which works on brightness only and cannot recolour anything, and Real-ESRGAN, which reconstructs all three channels and can invent texture — are offered with their exact sizes, and the split view shows the plain enlargement beside the result so you can see what each one added.
What it will not do
- It does not undo motion blur or focus blur.
- It does not restore detail that was never recorded; the risk map shows where a model drew texture the source did not have.
- It holds up to 32 megapixels of output for review on a desktop browser, 16 on iPhone and iPad.
