Frequently Asked Questions

Is the utoolsy AI Image Upscaler secure?
Yes. Upscaling is performed locally in your browser using a web worker and AI model. Images are not uploaded to utoolsy servers, which helps keep personal photos and sensitive graphics private.
Which image formats are supported for upscaling?

How long does AI upscaling take?
Processing time depends on your device and image size. Smaller images may finish in a few seconds, while larger files can take longer as the swin2SR model runs entirely on your hardware.
Do I need a powerful GPU to use this tool?
No dedicated GPU is required, but a modern CPU and browser will provide smoother performance. The model runs on your device, so faster hardware results in faster upscaling.
