SmartUpscale

Disables blur for images shown at integer zoom levels.

What is SmartUpscale?

'SmartUpscale' is a Chrome extension designed for high-DPI monitor owners. It activates when images are shown at integer zoom levels, disabling blur for improved clarity. Its primary function is to prevent the distortion and blurring of images which are displayed at sizes that are integer multiples of their original resolution. This extension is particularly beneficial for 4K monitor users, especially when used at an OS-level zoom of 200%. Features include the processing of images once the page is fully loaded, updating dynamically with any changes, and customizable settings that limit maximum image zoom and disable global blur.

Отлично подходит для чтения старых спрайтовых комиксов, просмотра игровых карт для игр малого разрешения и прочей пиксельной информации.

I bought a 17" 4k laptop and started to regret it immediately. At 4k, text was crisp but images were blurry, and at 1080p, images were crisp but text was blurry. Thanks to this extension, I can stay at 4k and have nice crisp images. Thank you so much!
