Upscale face photos in three steps
Upload a portrait or headshot
PNG, JPEG, or WebP — including tight LinkedIn crops and scanned family photos. Paid plans accept files up to 50 MB.

Compare and download
Check eyes, skin tone, and hair at full zoom with the compare slider, then download the enlargement.
Why use a face-specific upscaler
Eyes and skin look natural
General upscalers sharpen pores unevenly. Face targets facial structure — better for headshots than a one-size model.
LinkedIn and casting ready
Recover legible detail when the only source is a small social crop or conference photo grab.
Vintage scan friendly
Enlarge faded family portraits for print albums while keeping identity recognizable.
Face upscaler FAQ
Is the Face model free?
No. Face requires Pro or Unlimited. Free tier uses General at 2× — fine for a quick quality check on non-portrait images.
What is the max scale for portraits?
Face supports up to 8× on Pro and Unlimited plans, subject to your daily upscale quota.
Will it change how I look?
Face recovery balances detail vs. identity. Use Advanced face fidelity on Pro to keep more of the original likeness.
