How to upscale an old photo
Old photos fail on pixel count first. Restoration is a different craft; this page only enlarges.
A “scan of a 4×6” or a photo saved from a 2012 Facebook album is a resolution problem. People also want scratches gone and color back — those are not this tool. Filvo’s upscaler makes the file larger with AI. This page’s samples and default (4× on Pro) assume the source is small and old.
Start from the physical print if it still exists. A phone photo of a print under glass is a worse source than a flatbed scan.
Scans vs screenshots of scans
A screenshot of a screenshot is the worst path. If the file already lives as a JPEG email, that is what you have — upload it and be honest with the slider.
After you enlarge, keep the big file for a reprint. Compress only if you will share a web copy.
Steps to enlarge an archive photo
Scan or locate the largest digital file. Upload it here. On Pro, 4× runs. On Free, review 2× and upgrade if the reprint still looks short. Do not expect a restoration studio. For a head-and-shoulders reprint, the portrait page is the same engine with different copy.
Sharper files when the photo is too small
Enlarge catalog shots, portraits, and scans with AI — 2× is free, 4× is Pro. Not a blurry stretch.
Compare before you save. No watermark. Cut out the subject or compress the result next.
