Upscaling photos for print
Enlarging a photo for print is more than making it bigger — it has to hold detail at the physical size and DPI your printer needs.
Why enlarged photos look blurry in print
A photo sized for a screen has far fewer pixels than a large print needs. Stretched in the RIP it softens, and the bigger the print, the worse it gets.
How Krixel does it
Krixel upscales the photo with AI (Real-ESRGAN), cleans compression noise, then sets the exact physical size and DPI and exports a print-ready CMYK PDF with bleed — all offline.
