Meet Strong: AI upscaler for maximum clarity and face enhancement

Dealing with blurry, pixelate photos or old images with unclear faces? LetsEnhance now offers Strong, a new AI upscaler designed to fix challenging images and deliver maximum clarity.

What is Strong?

Strong is our most powerful AI option for boosting image quality. It excels at restoration and achieving high fidelity – meaning it tries hard to enhance the image you have, rather than creatively changing it.

Key use cases

Strong is ideal when you need a significant quality boost for images suffering from:

Unclear Faces

Use the Enhance Faces option to specifically target and improve facial details. It intelligently detects faces and applies extra processing to improve clarity while preserving key features.

Blurriness

Makes fuzzy, out-of-focus or motion-blurred photos clear.

Pixelation

Smooths out blocky artifacts in heavily compressed or low-resolution images.

Noise and Artifacts

Cleans up digital noise and compression flaws common in old scans or low-light shots.

Blurry Text

Strong can improve the readability of blurry text within an image, making it a good choice for product photography.

Pro tip: For very fine or small text where exact preservation is crucial, Gentle remains the safer option as Strong might still introduce distortions. Review text results carefully.

How to use Strong

1. Upload your image to LetsEnhance.io.
2. Select Strong from the upscaler options on the right panel.
3. (Optional but recommended for portraits): Check the Enhance Faces box if your image contains people.
4. Choose your desired upscale factor - up to 16x or 256MP total (500MP for business plans).
5. Click 'Enhance'.

Important limitation: 2.5 megapixel inputs

Currently, Strong works with input images up to 2.5 Megapixels (e.g., ~1900x1300 pixels). This limit ensures the intensive AI processing required for maximum clarity can run efficiently and deliver high-quality results within a reasonable time.

If your image is larger than 2.5MP, you'll see a warning, and Strong won't be available for that image. For enhancing larger high-resolution photos, please use Balanced, Gentle, or Digital Art, depending on your needs.

When to choose Strong vs. other options

• Use Gentle for: Subtle upscaling, preserving fine text and intricate details perfectly.
• Use Balanced for: General enhancement of reasonably good quality photos.
• Use Strong for: Fixing significant blur, noise, pixelation, or enhancing faces in images under 2.5MP.
• Use Magic for: Creative style changes, reimagining images with text prompts.
• Use Digital Art for: Upscaling illustrations, cartoons, anime; or as an alternative for larger photos if Gentle/Balanced aren't enough.

FAQ

What's the main difference between Strong and Magic?

Strong focuses on maximum clarity and restoration with high fidelity to the original image content (best for fixing existing quality issues). Magic focuses on creative transformation and style changes, often guided by text prompts, and may alter the original image more significantly.

Why is there a 2.5MP input limit for Strong?

The advanced AI processing for Strong is computationally intensive. The limit ensures we can provide the best quality restoration results reliably and quickly. For larger images, other upscalers like Balanced, Gentle, or Digital Art are better suited.

Can Strong fix any blurry or damaged photo?

Strong can produce dramatic improvements, but results depend on the original image quality. Extreme blur or damage might be impossible to fully recover. We recommend trying it on your image to see the results.

What should I use if my image is larger than 2.5MP but needs significant enhancement?

Try our Balanced or Magic upscalers. They handle larger images and can still provide substantial quality improvements, though Strong is specifically tuned for maximum restoration on smaller inputs.
