Core offering

AI Image Enlarger (branded as Imglarger) provides browser-based and mobile AI tools that upscale images by 2x, 4x, or 8x, enhance blurry or low-quality photos, remove backgrounds, denoise, sharpen, colorize black-and-white images, restore old photos, extend image boundaries via generative outpainting, and convert between image formats (JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, SVG, TIFF). The platform combines non-generative AI super-resolution for core enlargement with generative AI for outpainting and enhancement, available via free and premium subscription tiers across web, iOS, Android, and Mac.

Product overview

Imglarger is an AI-powered online image processing platform offering a comprehensive suite of tools organized into three main categories: AI enhancement tools (upscaling, sharpening, denoising, face retouching, background removal, colorization, restoration, and uncropping), traditional image editing features (crop, resize, rotate, flip, filters, brightness/contrast/saturation/exposure adjustments, text overlay), and format conversion utilities. The platform supports web-based browser processing as well as native mobile apps (AI Enlarger App and PhotoAI App) for iOS, Android, and Mac. Key AI products include AI Image Enlarger (2x/4x/8x upscaling using SRCNN-based super-resolution), AI Photo Enhancer (generative AI quality enhancement), AI Image Extender/Uncrop (generative outpainting), and specialized tools for anime, portraits, old photo restoration, and background removal. The platform processes images via cloud-based AI models with automatic deletion after processing, while certain tools like format conversion operate client-side in the browser.
