| # Photo Enhancer by the MegaPotato AI upscaler (megapotato.app) | |
| A free online photo enhancer from the [MegaPotato AI upscaler](https://megapotato.app/?s=hf-photo-enhancer-readme). | |
| It restores detail in noisy, soft or heavily compressed photos, at the same size or 2× larger, and works with what is | |
| in the photo instead of drawing new faces or text. | |
| ## How to enhance a photo | |
| 1. Choose or drop a PNG, JPEG or WebP photo. | |
| 2. Pick **Original size** or **2×** and press **Enhance**. | |
| 3. Compare Before and After side by side; zoom to 100% or 200%, or use **Inspect** on a phone. | |
| 4. To download the full-size result, upload the photo on [megapotato.app](https://megapotato.app/tool?s=hf-photo-enhancer-readme) | |
| (new accounts get free chips). | |
| The examples are real results. | |
| ## Free demo limits | |
| Log in to Hugging Face to enhance your own photos: **2 runs a day** in this Space (per network address, rolling | |
| 24 hours), with the same model and size limits as the product. The examples work for everyone. | |
| ## Benchmark | |
| In MegaPotato's [blind test of 18 AI upscalers](https://megapotato.app/blog/best-ai-image-upscalers-2026?s=hf-photo-enhancer-readme) | |
| the model turned none of 67 faces into a different person; creative upscalers changed up to three in four. It is | |
| MegaPotato's own evaluation and MegaPotato is one of the products compared; the article gives the method, the results | |
| and open data under CC BY 4.0. | |
| ## How this Space works | |
| This Space is a static HTML page. Uploads go to a MegaPotato service on Cloudflare that holds the API key, applies | |
| the demo limits and passes the image to the MegaPotato API. The proprietary model runs on MegaPotato's GPUs; the | |
| model weights are not published. Images are handled under the MegaPotato | |
| [Privacy Policy](https://megapotato.app/privacy) and [Terms](https://megapotato.app/terms). Every image is reviewed | |
| automatically before processing, and images that may not meet our content rules are refused. The original is deleted | |
| once the run finishes and the result about an hour after the upload. | |
| The same model is available through the [MegaPotato REST API](https://megapotato.app/developers?s=hf-photo-enhancer-readme). | |
