You can choose one of the 3 AI models according to your specific needs.

More-detail GAN

Generate more details, more clarity, more sharpness.
Deblur+Denoise. Better skin & hair. Better perceptual quality.

This AI model excels in generating intricate details, enhancing clarity, and improving sharpness for better perceptual quality. It effectively addresses blurring, noise, pixelation issues in bad-quality images downloaded online. This AI model is particularly effective for enhancing specific image types that require meticulous attention to detail, such as hair, animal fur, and feathers, landscapes, architectural textures like bricks and wood grain, and more.

Resolution & scale options: 1K, 2K, 4K, 8K, x1, x2, x4, x8, Custom Resolution.

Smooth Diff

Restore original. Better fidelity, more clarity, smoother.
Deblur + Denoise. Eliminate flaws.

This AI model specializes in rendering smoother, clearer, and brighter images, and eliminate flaws for better fidelity and more clarity. It efficiently tackles blurring and noisy issues in poor-quality images while preserving their original characteristics. This AI model is tailor-made for enhancing image types with relatively fewer details, such as 2D animations, cartoons, glass surfaces, smooth textures, and line drawings. You can also use this AI model to handle portraits.

Resolution & scale options: 1K, 2K, 4K, 8K, x1, x2, x4, x8, Custom Resolution.

Real-Photo

Better fidelity, more clarity. Restore original. Deblur+Denoise.

2-3-2. Upscale & Enhance Images by x2, x4, x8

To upscale images with enhanced quality, you can also choose from x2, x4, or x8 to increase image resolutions to up to 32K while eliminating artifacts.

Note: On Windows computers, the maximum image resolution (width or height) is 32,000 pixels, whereas on Mac computers, it should not exceed 16,000 pixels. Feel free to tick "2-Pass processing" to reach the best quality when upscaling images.

2-3-3. Enhance Images by x1 without Changing Resolution

To enhance image quality without upscaling, opt for x1 to remove blur, noise, and pixelation. Here are some before-and-after examples.

① Automatically remove noise:

② Automatically reduce blur:

③ Automatically depixelate images:

④ Automatically restore compressed JPEGs:

2-3-4. Customize Resolution

You can customize the image resolution manually by entering a specific value for width or height, and then hit "Enter" on your keyboard to start processing your image. The aspect ratio of the customized image matches that of the original image.

Notice:

• When using More-detail GAN or Smooth Diff AI model to upscale images, it is possible to tailor the image resolution to a maximum of 4096 pixels in width or height.
• The Real-Photo model doesn't support Custom Resolution.

2-4. Optional Customizations

2-4-1. Hardware

You can choose to use CPU or GPU to process your images. If available, you are suggested to choose a GPU hardware acceleration to speed up the image enhancement process.

2-4-2. 2-Pass processing

To get richer images, enable "2-Pass processing". This involves an extra round of x1 image processing under the MoreDetail, Smooth Diff, and Real-Photo models.

Aiarty Image Enhancer is also tailored for users seeking to preserve prompts in AI ART images.

Simply select "Keep the Prompt" and export your image in JPG format. After exporting, you can right-click on the image, proceed to Properties > Details to view the image prompt information.

For the enhanced image in PNG format, you can import the image to Aiarty Image Enhancer again or use another tool to view the prompt.

Note: If you are uncertain whether your images include prompts, click the "View" button for confirmation. Typically, AI art images with metadata in JPG format contain prompts. Otherwise, you will be notified of "No prompt information" as below.

2-4-4. Text

If needed, you can add text to your images by clicking on the "Add Text" button. Input your texts, change the size, choose a color, and so on.

2-4-5. Export Settings

1) Choose an output format like JPG or PNG.

2) Specify the Quality/Level value.

• In the JPG format, increasing the Quality value results in larger file size and higher output quality due to its lossy compression. The default and optimal quality setting is 100.
• PNG is a lossless compression format. When exporting to PNG, a higher Level indicates a more complex compression algorithm, resulting in a smaller file size but slower export speed. The default value for optimal export is 3, offering a good balance between file size and export speed. Regardless of the chosen value for PNG output, the image quality remains uncompromised.

3) Click the "Browse" button to choose a folder on your computer to save the enhanced images. Alternatively, click on "Open" to open the default Aiarty Image Enhancer output folder.

2-5. Export Enhanced Images

When everything is OK, hit the "RUN" button to start enhancing or upscaling your images with Aiarty Image Enhancer. Once complete, Aiarty Image Enhancer will pop up the output folder containing your images automatically.
