FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Are my photos uploaded to a cloud server?+
Never. The developer has confirmed that no data is collected. The entire Real-ESRGAN model runs locally using Core ML on your device's Neural Engine and GPU. Your photos never leave your iPhone or iPad at any point during processing.
What is the difference between 2x and 4x export?+
Both apply the same full AI enhancement process. The difference is the output file size: 4x produces the highest possible resolution ideal for printing or detailed viewing, while 2x outputs a smaller, more manageable file that retains the AI quality improvements — perfect for sharing on social media or messaging.
How does bulk upscaling work in Pro?+
With a Pro subscription, select up to 10 images from your Photos library or Files app. The app processes them all simultaneously using your device hardware, then auto-saves every enhanced result directly to your Photos library — completely hands-free once initiated.
What types of photos benefit most from upscaling?+
Old scanned family photos, heavily cropped images, screenshots, downloaded or web-sourced images, and any photo that appears pixelated or lacks sharp detail. The Real-ESRGAN AI intelligently reconstructs textures and edges rather than simply stretching pixels.
Can I cancel my Pro subscription?+
Yes. Subscriptions are managed via your Apple Account in the App Store and can be cancelled at any time. You retain Pro access until the end of your current billing period, then revert to the free plan with single-image upscaling.
