Megapix AI - Photo Upscaler & Image Enhancer

Start with a small or soft original and get back something sharp at 4K or 8K. Megapix rebuilds real detail instead of stretching pixels wider, and the whole thing runs on your iPhone, iPad or Mac.

iPhone & iPad Mac
AI Upscaling to 8K

Scale up 2x, 4x or 8x and the detail holds together. A small shot ends up sharp at 4K or 8K instead of soft and mushy.

Unblur & Sharpen

Soft, pixelated, over-compressed - one tap cleans it up. There's a sharpening slider too, for when you want a bit more bite.

Restore Old Photos

Strip the grain, noise and JPEG mess out of old scans and dim shots. Add upscaling on top and a faded family photo looks like itself again.

Megapix AI super resolution upscaling 2x, 4x and 8x
AI Super Resolution

HD results in seconds

Photo mode is built for actual photography - faces, landscapes, the stuff already in your camera roll. Pick 2x, 4x or 8x and the fine detail fills back in.

Three engines
Fast when you're in a hurry, Balanced for most things, Maximum when you want every last bit of detail.

Trained on real photos
The model learned from actual photography, not test charts.

Megapix AI before and after compare slider
Before / After

See the difference instantly

Drag the slider and watch what came back. Each result lands in a library, so you can hold the before and after next to each other and keep the ones you like.

It keeps your results
Everything you process sticks around to revisit or export again later.

Three Modes

One app, tuned for every kind of image

Different pictures need different models. Megapix ships three of them.

Photo

For portraits, landscapes and the everyday shots in your camera roll.

Art & Anime

Trained on anime, line art and illustration, so edges stay crisp and flat colors stay flat.

Restore

Clears noise, grain and artifacts at the original size. This is the one for old scans.

Quality engines

Fast, Balanced and Maximum, the last one adding a denoising pass.

Megapix AI anime and illustration upscaling mode
Made for artists

Line art and flat color scaled to 4K without the smeary edges a photo model tends to leave behind.

One tap does it

On-device Vision spots text, faces and the kind of scene it is, then loads the matching model for you.

Portrait Document Illustration Photo
Smart Auto Mode Free

Not sure which mode to pick? Let the app decide

Tap once and on-device Apple Vision reads the image - text and document detection, face detection, scene classification - then picks the right mode and model for you. Portrait, document, illustration or photo, sorted automatically.

Made for newcomers
No settings to learn - great results on the first try, and it's free for everyone.

Debayered on your device

Dial each shot in before you enhance it, all locally:

Exposure White Balance (Temp & Tint) Shadow boost

Supported RAW formats

DNG, CR2, CR3, NEF, NRW, ARW, RAF, ORF, RW2, PEF, X3F and more.

RAW Import Free

Bring your camera RAW files in

Megapix opens camera RAW straight from your shoots and debayers it fully on device with Apple's CIRAWFilter pipeline - no cloud, no round-trip. Set exposure, white balance and shadows, then upscale or restore from a clean, full-quality starting point.

Per-image controls
Exposure, White Balance (Temperature & Tint) and Shadow boost, all processed on device.

A tool for photographers
Restore and future-proof your originals for the archive, without anything leaving the device.

Megapix AI recovering lost detail from a low-resolution photo
Real Detail

Recover lost detail

Take a 1024 px image up to 4096 and past it. Megapix rebuilds texture rather than smearing the same pixels wider, so faces, edges and surfaces still look right up close.

Cleans as it goes
Grain and JPEG blocking come out, even if you keep the original size.

Good for old photos
Stack Restore and upscaling on a faded family shot and it comes back.

The small stuff that adds up

Things you only notice you needed once they're missing.

Batch

Run up to 20 photos at once on iPhone and iPad, or a whole folder on the Mac, with one set of settings.

Keeps transparency

The alpha channel survives, so logos and stickers don't come out sitting on a white box.

Export anywhere

JPEG, PNG or TIFF, all open to everyone. Your files don't sit behind a paywall.

Opens what you throw at it

Opens JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, WebP, GIF, BMP and camera RAW (DNG, CR2, NEF, ARW and more).

Lives in Finder

Right-click an image and pick "Enhance with Megapix", or just drop it onto the window.

Names files your way

On the Mac, results save next to the original using a filename pattern you set.

Stays on device

No account, no cloud, no connection needed. The photos never leave your hardware.

Copy in one step

Send the finished result straight to the clipboard (Cmd-Shift-C on Mac) and paste it wherever you need it.

Zoom right in

Pinch to zoom up to 8x and pan across the result to check the fine detail before you export.
