Questions before you buy.

Short answers for people comparing Local Upscale with cloud photo enhancers and subscription editors.

Will every photo be exactly 4x larger?

4x describes the upscaling model. Large images may be reduced to stay within the device’s processing limits, so final dimensions depend on the source image and available memory.

Can it recover every missing detail?

No. AI enhancement estimates detail. Severely blurred images, tiny text, and faces can produce imperfect results. Keep the original and inspect the comparison before saving.

Is this a web or Android editor?

No. This website describes the iPhone and iPad app. Processing happens inside the app, which requires iOS or iPadOS 18.2 or later.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. The enhancement pipeline is designed to run locally, so the app can process photos without a server connection.

Does it collect my photos?

No. Local Upscale does not collect, store, or sell personal information, and it does not upload photos to app servers.

Is there a monthly plan?

No. Local Upscale is a paid App Store app with no ads and no subscription.
