PicWish Image Upscaler is an AI service for enlarging images, offered by a Hong Kong maker founded in 2021. It accepts PNG, JPG, JPEG, JFIF, WEBP, and BMP files. The service supports batch processing, API access, and a desktop app, and its maximum enlargement scale is custom rather than a fixed listed value. The free plan costs nothing and allows limited non-HD downloads each day. A Pro plan provides daily HD downloads for most online features, but no price is listed. Pay-as-you-go credits also have no listed price and remain permanently valid after purchase. A monthly subscription supplies a budget of API credits; unused subscription credits can roll over while the subscription remains active. PicWish lists API as a platform while also providing online and desktop workflows for image enlargement. The available facts describe scaling and access options, but not a fixed maximum size or prices for paid plans.
