How it works in practice
Resampling estimates new pixel values between existing pixels. It can produce a smoother enlargement, but it is not the same as a generative AI super-resolution system that attempts to synthesize new details.
Enlarge an image with high-quality resampling.
Enlarge an image with high-quality resampling when you need more pixels for layout or display, without claiming to recover detail that is not present in the source.
Best for: Small graphics or photos that need a moderate size increase and smoother scaling than a basic nearest-neighbor resize.
Resampling estimates new pixel values between existing pixels. It can produce a smoother enlargement, but it is not the same as a generative AI super-resolution system that attempts to synthesize new details.
Uses pica resampling to create a larger raster image. It interpolates additional pixels for smoother enlargement but does not reconstruct genuine camera detail that was never captured.
Use a specialist super-resolution workflow when recovering detail is more important than simply increasing pixel dimensions.

The tool uses high-quality browser resampling; it should not be described as inventing missing detail.
It can enlarge the pixels smoothly, but it cannot restore information that was not captured.
More output pixels generally require more image data, especially at high quality settings.
Separate screen dimensions from print density so you can resize images with the right target in mind.
