The last two options are situationally useful, and I would recommend just switching them on to check if they improve the quality of the processed image and then disabling them if it doesn’t have a noticeable effect. In most cases it may be best to leave it on Auto, and let the computer determine the most effective values to use here. Next are more specific settings controlling Noise and Blur in the source image. Note: For this option I would recommend checking what the preview looks like for each setting, as you may find that different images will work better with different modes. This tells the program which method to utilise when processing the source image. You will see the size of the original image and the resized image at the very bottom of the app window, with the original image resolution on the left and the resized resolution on the right. The second section, Resize Mode, controls how much larger the new image will be. The first option controls whether the image is updated automatically whenever you change the view of the image if this is switched off, you will need to manually update the preview image on the right by clicking the Update button which is next to the switch. Further on the right is a zoomed-out view of the source image, which shows a white box that indicates the section currently displayed on the two large sections to the left.īelow the thumbnail on the far right are the options which control how the image is processed and the size at which it is going to be output. You’ll see the original image on the section to the left which has been enlarged to match the right, and beside this is the preview of the upscaled image. This is the view when you have added an image. Alternatively you can click on the Browse button, and navigate to your image or images from there, and then select them to open here.

The fastest way to start is just to drag an image from your computer into the Gigapixel app, where it will be opened.

This is the default Gigapixel AI page, which you’ll see when you open the program on your computer. While Gigapixel can enlarge a small image, for poor quality images it will often also enlarge any flaws in the image. If your images are not of very high quality, you might find that this tool will be of limited use to you, in that if you input low-quality images the images it will output may be larger and yet not suitable for print.

Important: The article will assume that your existing images are both sharp and are in focus.
