How this list is ordered. Specifiction scores each tool on how fully its maker documents it, whether its prices are published, where the research puts it, the platforms it runs on and whether it can be tried for free (how we rank). Makers can also buy a numbered place (how Specifiction is paid for).

NextGenUp, Bigjpg, and Real-ESRGAN are among the options to weigh. Check whether you need to process batches, use a desktop app, or connect through an API, then match the listed formats and scale options to your images.
