Why old photos look soft when enlarged
Scanners and social compression strip high-frequency detail. Stretching in a basic editor invents blur — AI upscaling predicts plausible texture instead.

Choose 2× vs 4×
Start with 2× for web albums. Use 4× when you need poster size from a small scan — then inspect faces carefully.
Workflow tip
Enhance flat scans first if they are very dark, then upscale for cleaner results.
