## Description

Enhance and upscale photos and videos directly on your iPhone or iPad with private, offline AI processing. Upscal uses Apple Metal, Metal Performance Shaders, and Core ML to process media locally without uploading your files.

Upscal improves low-resolution, blurry, or compressed media while keeping your files on your device. Enlarge photos and videos with clear details, natural textures, and flexible output settings.

PHOTO ENHANCEMENT

• Upscale photos by 2×, 4×, or 8×
• Improve clarity, edges, and fine details
• Process up to five photos in one batch for free
• Export images as JPG, PNG, or WebP
• Save results without watermarks

VIDEO ENHANCEMENT ON IPHONE

Upscal includes Fast Model for mobile video enhancement. It is optimized for the performance and memory limits of iPhone and iPad, helping you improve video resolution directly on your device.

More advanced video models, including Sharp, General, and Anime models, require the macOS version of Upscal.

PRIVATE AND OFFLINE

Your photos and videos are processed locally. Media files are not uploaded to a remote processing server, helping keep your personal content private.

## Review summary

Upscal is praised for strong upscaling quality and a favorable one-time price, plus a versatile feature set. Recurring issues include a strict 2000px image limit, stability/connectivity problems, and concerns about pricing. Processing can be slow, and reliability varies by update. When it runs smoothly, it delivers excellent results for low-res images and creative workflows.

### Pros

- Excellent upscaling quality, especially for low-resolution or degraded images.
- One-time price with unlimited credits, offering strong value.
- Versatile feature set includes 8x upscaling, sharpening, and frame extraction.
- Positive performance and improvements after updates for many users.

### Cons

- Pixel limit around 2000px prevents upscaling many everyday photos.
- Stability and connectivity issues: app sometimes won't start, shows spinner, or cannot connect to server.
- Pricing/licensing concerns: reports of subscription expiration, perceived scam risks, or not worth the cost.
- Processing is slower than the website, leading to long wait times.
