Looks cool, but what do you do with the image once uploaded? The FAQ says "Yes, we take security very seriously and ensure that all images uploaded to our platform are protected. Enhancing image quality is safe and reliable." and the Privacy policy looks very generic and not specific to your service.

Are the images deleted after x days? Do you keep to train again? What rights (if any) are you claiming once I use it?

Congrats! Little suggestion if I may, don't use the location of the user to set the default language of the website. Everything on my computer is in English, but your website defaulted to Spanish, as I'm currently in Spain.

Am no expert, but a short article I just found on the topic: https://dev.to/bitdweller/stop-setting-the-language-of-your-...

Tried it with some typical event photos of people that contain out-of-focus regions.

Did a pretty terrible job.

I.e. at 10k, you should see some skin structure but instead it was just color banding, eyelids had non-existing wrinkles added though etc.

To the author: PM me and I send you some examples, if interested.

Just a word of caution: all these enhancement tools are making an informed guess to create each new pixel. The original information was lost and no one can't retrieve it, whether it's shape or color. (I've heard technical people claim otherwise.)

Really interested in this, but it needs additional login options. Not a Google user myself but would like to check this out.

Curious, does this use a publicly available model (such as real-esrgan), or is it a custom model?

To reach 10x magnification, is 2x magnification simply consecutively repeated?

After submitting an image, I'm prompted to authenticate with Google - but once I do, and return, I have to re-submit the image.

Also, it does ... not do great with faces, but I also did not expect it to: https://imgur.com/a/GCLbMGp

Haven't tried yet but on a side note: why is the website opening Spanish by default instead of English?

Great work man, i would love to know more about the process! did you take existing images and degrade them then use the high res version as a confirmation or how'd you do it?
By @kraken20480 - 5 months
I experimented with several images featuring people and pets. The processed results were so similar to the originals that it was difficult to discern any changes.

If I understand correctly, there are 5 free credits (= 5 images) when I create an account. Do you plan to offer more free credits over time? Or have a plan that doesn't require a subscription?

The product looks very nice, but I'm not willing to get a monthly subscription for this (I could pay, but I have very occasional needs).

I work with small details from large images so I need something that will enhance the to a nice, sharp final resolution when I need to enlarge it. This tool worked very well with the samples I provided it. Great job!

10x res is a lot. Do you do it in a single shot, or do you use multiple smaller steps (e.g. hitting it with 2 4x enhancements for 16x the res)?

Also:

12000 pixels is a 110 x 110 image.

12000 x 12000 would be 144 megapixels.

Let me guess, it is just a Stable Diffusion wrapper?
