What Enlarger is

Enlarger is a desktop image upscaler for macOS and Windows that processes files locally. It is designed to restore detail while keeping results similar to the source image; the maker says it does not use generative AI and produces the same result each time. A queue supports parallel batch processing. Enlarger accepts JPEG, PNG, AVIF, and WebP files and exports JPEG or PNG. Listed uses include old photo scans, compressed images, low-resolution album covers, and early smartphone images. The trial processes 10 images at full quality without a watermark or credit card, although there is no free plan. After activation, the app can work offline; internet is required for trial use and activation or deactivation. macOS 11 or later on Apple Silicon and 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 require at least 8 GB memory. Intel Macs, Windows on ARM, Linux, web access, and an API are not supported. The Early bird plan is $39, paid once; another listing shows $39 a month with unclear currency display.
