Gigapixel AI now features automatic face refinement!

With our latest developments in machine learning and image recognition, we’ve implemented automatic face refinement in Gigapixel AI to offer you more powerful and accurate face enlargement.

You’ll see a toggle in the right panel to enable/disable the new Face Refinement feature. Face Refinement will detect very small faces (16×16 px to 64×64 px) and apply targeted, improved upsampling through machine learning.
Ordinarily, faces this small in dimension can be very difficult to upscale, leaving them vulnerable to unpredictable results during enlargement. With our latest improvement, Gigapixel AI produces  a more seamless enlargement of faces within your photos, so you’ll be satisfied with more natural-looking results!
