FAQ

Is it really free? Do I need to sign up?

Yes, completely free. No sign-up, no login, no usage limits. Just open the page and start upscaling immediately.

Are my images uploaded to a server? Is this safe?

No, your images are never uploaded. All AI processing happens locally in your browser, so even private or confidential images are safe to use with this tool.

What image formats are supported?

Input: PNG, JPEG, and WebP. Output: maximum-quality JPEG (quality 100%). To preserve transparency, keep your input as PNG or use a separate tool.

What AI technology do you use?

Real-ESRGAN (Real-Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network), an open-source AI super-resolution model that excels at upscaling photos, illustrations, and anime images while preserving fine details.

What image size and scale factors are supported?

Input up to 1920px on the longest side. Output is auto-adjusted to fit within 4K (3840px). Choose 2x or 4x — the system automatically optimizes if the result would exceed the 4K limit.

Can I upscale videos too?

Shaki is for images only. For video compression try our sister tool Chidimeru. For audio noise removal, try Shizuka.

Does it work on smartphones?

Yes, modern smartphone browsers (Chrome, Safari, etc.) are supported. For images larger than 1024px on the longest side, we recommend using a PC due to memory constraints during AI processing.

Can I use this commercially? Who owns the output?

Yes. Output images can be used freely (personal or commercial) by anyone who owns the rights to the input image. The original copyright remains with the original holder. We do not claim any rights to your images.
