🖼️ Enhancement Process FAQs

Learn how our AI image enhancement technology works and how to get the best results

1 How does AI image enhancement work?

Our AI uses deep learning algorithms to analyze image patterns and reconstruct missing details. It intelligently fills in pixels during upscaling while reducing noise and sharpening edges for clearer results.

The system was trained on millions of image pairs to learn how to predict and recreate high-quality versions from lower-quality inputs, focusing on preserving important details while removing artifacts.

2 What's the difference between upscaling and enhancing?

Upscaling increases image resolution by adding pixels, while enhancement improves overall quality through noise reduction, sharpening, and color correction. You can use them separately or together.

Upscaling is about size, enhancement is about quality. Our AI performs both operations simultaneously for optimal results, but you can control each aspect independently in the settings.

3 Can I adjust enhancement strength?

Yes, our enhancement level slider (0-100%) lets you control the intensity of improvements. Lower values make subtle changes, while higher values apply more aggressive enhancement.

We recommend starting at 50% and adjusting based on your specific image needs. Different types of images (portraits, landscapes, documents) often require different enhancement strengths.

4 How to preserve original colors?

Keep the 'Enhancement Level' below 70% and use the 'Color Preservation' option in advanced settings. For critical color work, export in PNG format which maintains color accuracy better than JPEG.

The AI is designed to enhance colors naturally, but you can also use the 'Color Fidelity' slider to control how much color correction is applied during processing.

5 Does enhancement reduce image quality?

Properly applied enhancement improves quality, but excessive settings can create artifacts. We recommend previewing changes before final export and using moderate enhancement levels (50-80%) for best results.

Quality loss typically only occurs with extreme settings (above 90%) or when repeatedly editing and re-saving JPEG files. Always work with original files when possible.

6 Can I enhance low-light photos?

Yes! Our AI specializes in low-light enhancement. Use 60-80% noise reduction combined with 40-60% sharpening to brighten dark areas while minimizing graininess.

The system can recover remarkable detail from shadows without over-brightening highlights. For extreme low-light situations, try the 'Night Mode' preset in advanced options.

7 How to fix blurry text in images?

For documents/screenshots: Use 4x upscaling with 80-90% sharpness and 30-50% noise reduction. The AI will reconstruct character edges while suppressing background noise.

Enable 'Text Enhancement Mode' for optimal results with documents. This setting prioritizes sharp edges and clean backgrounds specifically for text recovery.

8 Can I remove objects from photos?

Our current version focuses on quality enhancement rather than object removal. For basic object removal, try using high noise reduction (90%) which can minimize small unwanted elements.

For significant object removal, we recommend using dedicated photo editing software. Our AI is optimized for quality improvement rather than content manipulation.

9 How to enhance facial features?

Use moderate settings (50-70% enhancement) to preserve natural skin texture. Enable 'Portrait Mode' in advanced settings for optimized facial feature enhancement without over-smoothing.

The AI automatically detects faces and applies specialized algorithms to enhance eyes, skin, and hair while maintaining natural appearance. Avoid extreme sharpening on portraits.

10 Does it work on black & white photos?

Absolutely. The AI processes B&W photos exceptionally well, often achieving better results than color images. Use 60-80% enhancement with high sharpness (70-90%) for vintage photo restoration.

For historical photos, try the 'Vintage' preset which is specially tuned to handle the unique grain patterns and contrast characteristics of old B&W photographs.

11 Can I enhance scanned documents?

Yes, scanned documents benefit greatly. Use 2x-4x upscaling with 80% sharpness and 60% noise reduction. For text documents, enable 'Document Mode' for optimized character recognition.

The system can remove scanner artifacts, smooth wrinkled paper textures, and enhance faded ink while preserving the original document structure and layout.

12 How to avoid over-sharpening?

Keep sharpness below 70% and always compare before/after views. Look for halos around edges as a sign of over-sharpening. The 'Natural' sharpening preset provides balanced results.

For portraits or natural scenes, consider using 'Adaptive Sharpening' which applies varying levels of sharpness to different image areas for more natural results.

13 What's the best format for printing?

For professional printing: TIFF or PNG (lossless quality). For home printing: High-quality JPEG (90-100%). Always upscale to at least 300 DPI resolution for your target print size.

When preparing for print, use the 'Print Optimization' preset which adjusts contrast and sharpness specifically for ink-on-paper reproduction characteristics.

14 Can I batch process images?

Our web version processes one image at a time. For batch processing, consider our desktop application which can handle multiple files with consistent settings.

The desktop version also offers more advanced batch features like folder watching, automatic naming conventions, and processing queues for large collections.

15 How to revert to original settings?

Click the 'Reset All' button above the enhancement controls. For individual adjustments, each slider has a middle-click reset option or double-click to return to default values.

Your original uploaded file is always preserved in memory until you leave the page, so you can always start fresh with the unmodified source image.

💡 Image Enhancement Tips & Best Practices

Expert recommendations to get the most out of your AI image enhancement experience

Best settings for old photos

For restoring old photographs, we recommend using 4x upscaling with 70% enhancement level. Set noise reduction to 80% to reduce graininess while preserving details. Keep sharpness around 50-60% to avoid introducing artifacts. The "WebP" format works well for maintaining quality while keeping file sizes manageable.

🕰️ Historical Photos

Optimizing for web vs print

For web use: Choose 2x upscaling, JPEG or WebP format at 80% quality, and enable moderate sharpening (40-50%). For print: Use 4x upscaling, PNG or TIFF format, 100% quality, and higher sharpness (60-70%). Always check your printer's recommended DPI (usually 300) and size requirements before enhancing.

🖨️ Output Optimization

Enhancing product images

Product photos benefit from 4x upscaling with 60% enhancement. Set noise reduction to 40% (to preserve fabric/texture details) and sharpness to 70%. Use WebP format for ecommerce sites. For white backgrounds, enable the "Color Correction" option to ensure accurate whites without color casts.

📦 Ecommerce

Improving text readability

For documents or images with text: Use 4x upscaling with 80% sharpness, but keep enhancement at 50% to avoid distorting characters. Set noise reduction to 30% maximum. The PNG format preserves sharp edges best. For scanned documents, enable the "Document Mode" if available for optimal text clarity.

📄 Documents

Reducing file size without quality loss

Use WebP format at 85% quality for the best balance. Enable "Smart Compression" which applies more compression to smooth areas while preserving detail in complex areas. For JPEGs, 75-80% quality is often sufficient. Reduce dimensions if possible - a 2000px wide image is often adequate for most uses.

📉 Optimization

Best formats for social media

Instagram/Facebook: JPEG at 90% quality (1080px width). Twitter: JPEG at 80% quality (1200px width). Pinterest: JPEG at 85% quality (1000px width). LinkedIn: PNG for logos, JPEG for photos (1200px width). Always check each platform's current recommended sizes as they frequently change.

📱 Social Media

Enhancing low-resolution logos

For vector-like logos: Use 8x upscaling with 90% sharpness, but only 30% enhancement to maintain clean lines. Disable noise reduction completely. Save as PNG to preserve transparency. For complex logos with gradients, reduce sharpness to 70% and enable "Smooth Gradients" option if available.

🖼️ Branding

Preparing images for websites

Resize to maximum display dimensions first (typically 2000px wide for full-width images). Use WebP format at 85% quality. Enable "Progressive Loading" for JPEGs. Add subtle sharpening (40%) after resizing. For hero images, keep file size under 300KB. Always include alt text and proper meta tags.

🌐 Web Design

Restoring faded colors

Set color enhancement to 70-80% while keeping overall enhancement at 50%. Increase vibrance by 20-30% rather than saturation to avoid unnatural colors. For severely faded photos, process in multiple passes with moderate settings rather than one aggressive enhancement. Always work on copies of originals.

🎨 Color Correction

Removing compression artifacts

Set noise reduction to 60-70% and use moderate sharpness (40%). The "Artifact Removal" algorithm works best at 50-60% strength. Avoid over-enhancing (keep below 60%). Save in PNG or high-quality (90%) JPEG to prevent reintroducing artifacts. For severe cases, process at 2x size then downscale.

🔍 Quality Improvement

Enhancing real estate photos

Use 4x upscaling with 60% enhancement. Keep noise reduction at 50% to preserve texture in walls and fabrics. Set sharpness to 65% for crisp edges. Correct perspective distortion first if needed. For interiors, enable "Shadow Recovery" at 30% to brighten dark areas without overexposing windows.

🏠 Property Photography

Improving smartphone photos

Most smartphone photos benefit from 2x upscaling with 50% enhancement. Set noise reduction to 40% (higher for low-light shots). Use 60% sharpness for front camera selfies, 70% for rear camera. Enable "Lens Correction" for wide-angle shots. Save in HEIC format if supported by your devices.

📱 Mobile Photography

Optimal settings for landscapes

Landscapes typically need 4x upscaling with 70% enhancement. Use 60% noise reduction for clean skies and 75% sharpness for crisp details. Enable "HDR Effect" at 30% for balanced exposure. For panoramas, process individual segments with identical settings before stitching.

🏞️ Nature Photography

Enhancing scanned documents

Scan at minimum 300dpi in grayscale mode. Use 4x upscaling with 80% sharpness but only 30% enhancement. Set noise reduction to 20% maximum. Enable "Document Mode" if available. Save as PNG for text documents or high-quality JPEG for photos within documents. For OCR purposes, keep contrast high.

📜 Archival

Maintaining aspect ratios

Our tool automatically maintains original aspect ratios during enhancement. For custom cropping, use the "Constrain Proportions" option. When resizing after enhancement, always calculate new dimensions based on the original ratio. For social media, crop to required ratios (like 1:1 or 16:9) after enhancement.

📏 Composition
