Product updates

Upscayl Changelog

Upscayl is an online AI image upscaler and image editing platform. Enlarge individual images or batches, enhance photos, remove backgrounds, restore older pictures, and create images with AI tools.

Available in English. Historical entries summarize development records; their dates may differ from production release dates.

This changelog explains how those tools have developed, what each major update helps you do, and where to use it. Workflows support image projects such as product photos, illustrations, personal photographs, and design assets.

Explore image tools in one place

Upscayl brings image upscaling, enhancement, background removal, and AI image creation into a browsable tools hub. Choose a tool by the task you need to complete, then move between related workflows without searching the site again.

  • Added an AI image tools hub and improved links between related tools.
  • Localized related-tool cards to match the selected language.

Image upscaling API and MCP

Developers can integrate image upscaling into their own applications through the public API, or connect compatible AI clients through the remote MCP server. These interfaces make the upscaling workflow accessible from software as well as the website; check the documentation for authentication, credit usage, and supported requests.

  • Added a public image upscaling API and a remote MCP integration for compatible clients.
  • API access requires a purchase; developer pages explain setup and usage.
  • Integrated multilingual Magic Eraser and Real-ESRGAN pages.

Browser image tools and more languages

Browser-based tools offer another way to remove an image background or clean up selected areas. These workflows can be useful when preparing cutouts for a design or removing a distracting detail from a photo. Processing depends on browser and device capabilities, so results and availability can vary.

  • Added browser-based background removal and image cleanup, including anonymous use.
  • Adapted background processing to the device and improved failure reporting.
  • Expanded localized Waifu2x and AI image generator content.

AI Image Generator, Magic Eraser, Waifu2x, and Real-ESRGAN pages

Dedicated pages now help users choose between creating a new image, cleaning an existing picture, and enlarging artwork. The AI Image Generator serves image-creation workflows, while the Magic Eraser, Waifu2x, and Real-ESRGAN pages provide entry points for editing and upscaling tasks.

  • Added dedicated AI Image Generator, Magic Eraser, Waifu2x, and Real-ESRGAN pages.
  • Expanded language-specific routes for these tools.

Checkout and model transparency

  • Added another payment integration and improved the return flow after checkout.
  • Added an About page explaining image models and updated model disclosures in the terms.

Refine cutouts and choose backgrounds

A background cutout is often the starting point for a product image, profile picture, or layout. The refinement editor lets users adjust the cutout before choosing a preset background, bringing these steps into the result workflow.

  • Added a refinement editor for background cutouts and preset backgrounds for results.
  • Introduced daily credit allowances for paid plans and displayed them in pricing summaries.

Image cleanup and restoration workflows

Different source images call for different editing approaches. This update connected the image cleanup workflow for selected objects and introduced enhancement routing based on image content, alongside restoration suggestions for faded photographs. Review the output against the original when working with faces or fine details.

  • Connected the image cleanup pipeline and refined batch object-removal editing.
  • Added content-based enhancement routing and restoration suggestions for faded photos.

Multilingual AI image editing

The AI photo editing workspace connects image inputs with an AI generation pipeline. It gives users a place to work on visual edits and create revised images, with localized tool content that makes the workflow easier to follow in the selected language.

  • Added multilingual image tools and their generation pipeline.
  • Improved browser compatibility and Simplified Chinese editor translations.

Photo restoration and bulk background removal

Photo Restoration provides an entry point for improving older or faded photographs, while Bulk Background Remover supports preparing multiple cutouts for a catalog or design project. Dedicated pages explain each workflow so users can start with the tool that matches their source images.

  • Added localized pages for photo restoration and bulk background removal.

Manage saved images

  • Added individual and batch removal of saved images from the account library.
  • Simplified controls on the unblur and sharpen pages.

Sharper images and dependable downloads

The Sharpen Image page focuses on improving the appearance of soft edges and visible detail in an existing picture. It complements resolution enlargement: a larger image is not automatically a sharper one. The same update period included fixes to download format conversion and sign-in prompts.

  • Added a multilingual Sharpen Image page.
  • Fixed image download format conversion and a repeated Google One Tap prompt.

Batch processing and daily allowances

Batch processing helps users work through a collection of images with fewer repeated upload steps. This update strengthened the processing workflow and clarified plan comparisons, making it easier to choose an allowance for occasional edits or larger image projects.

  • Improved batch image processing and added daily free attempts for eligible users.
  • Added a pricing comparison table and improved checkout visibility on small screens.

Unblur images in more languages

The Unblur Image page gives users a focused starting point for improving soft-looking photographs. It explains the enhancement task separately from changing image dimensions. Results depend on the source; enhancement cannot guarantee recovery of detail lost to severe blur.

  • Added a multilingual Unblur Image page.

Upscayl branding, batch upscaling, and image enhancer previews

The refreshed Upscayl AI identity puts online image upscaling and editing at the center of the site. The batch upscaler page focuses on working with multiple images, while the image enhancer page provides visual comparisons to help users understand that workflow.

  • Refreshed Upscayl AI branding and positioned the dedicated upscale page around batch processing.
  • Added comparison images for the image enhancer page.

Subscription management

  • Added subscription cancellation and retention options.
  • Improved renewal fulfillment and payment-status validation.

Upload images by URL

Image URL uploads offer a way to start from an accessible image link instead of selecting a local file. This can reduce file-handling steps when preparing web graphics or reference images for upscaling; use images you own or have permission to process.

  • Added image URL uploads and refined the batch upload and upgrade flow.

PayPal checkout

  • Added PayPal checkout and compatibility fixes for the hosting platform.

Batch image upscaling

Batch image upscaling lets users work with several source images in one workflow instead of uploading each one separately. It is useful for product photos, illustration sets, and photo collections that need larger output dimensions. The mobile layout was also adjusted to make image groups easier to review.

  • Added a batch upscaling flow and a denser mobile image grid.
  • Improved handling of oversized input images.

Better handling of large uploads

  • Added automatic preprocessing for large files and high-resolution images.
  • Corrected the image format used during compression.

Upscayl project foundation

The repository began its Upscayl-specific phase with an online AI image upscaler identity and separate application data configuration. Later entries on this page trace the expansion into batch processing, image editing, restoration, and developer integrations.

  • Updated the site identity to Upscayl AI Image Upscaler and separated its application data configuration.
