How to Enhance Low-Resolution Photos on iPhone

Make small, soft images easier to view and share with automatic clarity and detail enhancement.

Why it helps

A small image contains fewer original pixels, so enlargement alone can expose softness and blocky edges. AI enhancement can improve perceived clarity and create a more usable version, but it cannot know every exact detail that was absent from the source.

Common questions

Can AI increase a photo’s resolution?

AI can create a larger, clearer interpretation, but newly generated detail is not the same as information captured by the camera.

Should I enhance before or after cropping?

Start with the largest available original and avoid cropping until after enhancement whenever possible.

Can I enhance a screenshot?

Yes, although the original photo usually provides better results than a screenshot.
