In depth

Credits, megapixels and modes, explained

How to compare upscalers that sell and label things differently — with sources.

Megapixels vs scale factors

Let's Enhance sells by output size (up to 256 or 512 MP) and scale (up to 16×) [1]. A 16× upscale of a 1000 × 1000 photo is 256 MP — far beyond most needs: a 24×36 in poster at a lab like Walgreens needs 5400 × 3600 px, about 19 MP [2]. Work out the size you need first; paying for 512 MP rarely helps.

Modes are faithful vs creative

Let's Enhance's Prime and Gentle modes and Kenerate's faithful engines try to keep the photo as it is; creative modes add detail. Research shows this is a real trade-off — more natural-looking detail costs some faithfulness [3] — so pick the mode per image, not per account.

Watermarks change how you test

Let's Enhance watermarks free results [4], so you judge quality through a watermark until you pay. Kenerate's 25 free credits give clean files, so you can test on real work before buying.
