Pixelup

What Pixelup is

Pixelup is an image enhancement service for restoring detail in blurry pictures, with output described as reaching up to 4K. It says the process sharpens soft edges and recovers fine detail, including pores, eyelashes, fabric weave, and foliage, while preserving the original image's features rather than smoothing or beautifying them. The workflow is to upload an image, run AI restoration, compare the before and after, and download the result. The homepage lists JPG, PNG, and WEBP uploads up to 10MB. Pixelup works in modern browsers without desktop software or plugins and is also available on iOS; it has no desktop app. Uploaded pictures are sent to Google Gemini for enhancement processing. Pixelup's privacy policy says uploads and enhanced results are automatically deleted within one hour of processing and are not used to train AI models. Users retain ownership of uploaded images and enhanced outputs. The service supports face enhancement and old photo restoration. It uses a freemium model, and paid plans are billed monthly or yearly through Stripe; users can cancel in Settings, with access continuing until the current billing period ends.
