Summary
FreeScaler is a free, open source image upscaling tool that uses AI models to increase the resolution of PNG and JPEG images. It lets users import an image, choose a model and scale, and compare the original with the upscaled result. A batch mode allows an entire folder dragged from Finder to be upscaled at once, with previews available while processing runs and options to share or save single or multiple images. A Finder service adds the ability to upscale images directly from the contextual menu. According to the provider, all processing happens on the device, with no data collected and no images uploaded to a remote server.
