Chapter 1: Introduction to AI Photo Enhancement

Recently, I came across a remarkable free tool that employs artificial intelligence to elevate image quality by up to four times. Utilizing ESRGAN technology, this tool intelligently fills in pixel gaps, resulting in significantly clearer images. In simple terms, it enhances the quality of images that may appear blurry or pixelated.

The tool is conveniently available through a Google Colab project, which streamlines the process into three straightforward steps. Anyone with a Google account and a Chrome browser can use this tool without needing any programming experience.

Section 1.1: How to Use the Tool

Let’s walk through an example of how to utilize this tool effectively.

Step 1: Install Necessary Libraries

To get started, you need to download the required libraries. Simply click the play button on the left to initiate the download, which should take about one to two minutes depending on your account type.

Step 2: Upload Your Image

Next, you will upload the image you wish to enhance. Click the “Choose file” button and select your desired image.

Step 3: Execute the Algorithm

The processing of your image will be swift. A checkmark will appear on the left side to indicate completion.

Step 4: Download the Enhanced Image

Finally, you can download your enhanced image. Although we’ve skipped this step, it’s optional if you want to compare the original and improved versions.

In summary, enhancing your blurry or pixelated photos is as easy as three simple steps.

This free tool stands out as one of the most efficient image upscalers I've encountered. The results are impressive, and the process is both quick and cost-free. It works exceptionally well in conjunction with another AI tool that can create stunning artwork from simple prompts. This art generator can produce images sized at 500x500 pixels, which can also be enhanced using the aforementioned tool.
