Enhance image quality, from the whole photo to the details
A photo can have enough pixels and still look flat or noisy. The image enhancer preset works on tonal balance, clean edges and texture together. Compare the full frame first, then inspect hair, fabric and object edges before downloading.
Reduce noise and compression
Address grain, soft edges and compression artifacts in shared photos or dim everyday shots.
Keep texture natural
Focus on skin, hair, knitted fabric and food surfaces, keeping clearer details photographic.
Portraits, food and products deserve different detail
Explore the intended changes at both image and detail level, then load a source image to try the preset.

Window portrait: light and natural skin

Balance exposure and reduce grain; preserve facial identity, composition and natural skin.
Breakfast photo: texture and color
Croissant layers, strawberry surfaces and milk foam have distinct textures. The goal is clearer detail with the same window light and food colors.

Improve lighting and local texture; keep food shapes, counts and positions.

Improve visible detail and exposure; keep the jar outline, label and background.

HD redraw
Use the task preset on this page to improve lighting, edges or materials when the image itself needs work.
Overall image qualitySmart upscale
Use the separate 2× or 4× workflow when your main goal is a larger image.
AI image upscalerFrequently asked questions
How is a photo enhancer different from an image upscaler?
An upscaler enlarges the image. A photo enhancer also targets exposure, noise, compression and detail. Choose HD redraw for the enhancement preset, or smart upscale when your main goal is 2× or 4× enlargement.
How can I avoid an oversharpened look?
Start with the general enhancement preset and examine skin, hair and high-contrast edges. Its instructions ask for natural detail without sharpening halos or plastic skin.
Should I brighten or denoise a dark photo first?
The preset addresses exposure, contrast and noise together. You do not need separate instructions; upload a file that retains the original detail.
Which model powers the enhancement preset?
HD redraw uses GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst. The smart-upscale tab provides a separate 2× or 4× enlargement workflow.
Is image enhancement free?
GPT Image 2.5 redraw requires sign-in and credits. The workspace shows the cost for your selected quality and resolution. Smart upscale has its own daily guest allowance and pricing.
Which image formats can I upload?
Upload JPG, PNG or WebP. Original files usually retain more detail than chat thumbnails or screenshots.
How do I compare and download the result?
After generation, the workspace shows your source and result. Drag the slider to compare matching areas, then save the output with the download button.
Does loading an example spend credits?
No. Loading an example places its source image in the workspace and selects the preset. A processing task starts only when you click Generate. The displayed comparisons are AI-generated illustrations.
