What we checked ourselves
Not copied from the project's own blurb. These are things we opened and verified, with the date.
- 15 Sept 2026We opened the hosted demo and confirmed it was running.
Where this sits among the 211 tools we list in Image generation
- Works without using a terminal181 of 211
- No API key required196 of 211
- Sends your input to the provider33 that do not →
Only 175 of the 211 meet all of the conditions above.
Counted from our own checks: every tool we list is examined against the same criteria.
What it does
Enlarges low-resolution pictures while inventing plausible texture and edges, which lifts old photographs and screenshots to something printable rather than just making the blur bigger. The added detail is generated, not recovered: patterns that were never there can appear, and any text in the image frequently turns into unreadable near-letters, so it is unsuitable for records or evidence. Uploads go to the host's servers and the model licence could not be confirmed.
Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.
