What is Unpixelate?
Restores detail to pixelated, low-resolution photos.
Who is Unpixelate best for?
Unpixelate is best for people who want old family photos or blurry avatars restored without an image editor.
Old family photos
The HD tier adds a face model that rebuilds faces and fine texture from small scans and phone photos of prints.
Low-res avatars and thumbnails
Small profile pictures taken from social apps can be rebuilt at around 1,024 px, big enough to print or reuse.
Occasional fixes on a budget
A few Standard runs a day cost nothing and need no account, and credit packs never expire if you only need HD now and then.
Product and photo edits
The same credits pay for prompt-based edits with four models, including Seedream 5 Pro for product shots and scene swaps.
