Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

Enlarge your image without losing quality with artificial intelligence!

Enlarge your image without losing quality with artificial intelligence!

The problem with raster images is that quality is lost when you scale them. You know that if you tried to increase the dimensions of an image, so the quality was destroyed. Some tools are trying to solve that and mitigate it, but so far no one has done the job well enough. Luckily for us, AI is becoming more common and accessible to ordinary users.

If you remember, I wrote an article about a program with which you can enlarge an image with a small loss of quality - SmillaEnlarger - and now I'm writing about an AI tool that does it much, much better!

Original image

It is a  letsenhance.io project that aims to scale - enlarge - raster graphics with minimal loss of quality. It may not sound impressive to you, and what will AI do, but just look below the difference between classic scaling and using this artificial intelligence. Please note that the original image is in .jpg format, size 300 × 208 pixels, and scaled in .png format measuring 1200 × 832 pixels! The picture is four times bigger and the quality is excellent.

You can also test this tool if you go to https://letsenhance.io/ and create a free account. Insert a small image and wait for the processing to finish. It takes about 6 hours to a day to complete the processing of one image, so don't forget to check the results.

When the processing is finished, you will have the opportunity to download the image in 3 variants: anti-jpeg, boring and magic. The first version is the original image but converted to .png format where jpeg flaws have been removed. The second and third versions are scaled with the third having more details and the second having fewer details but better quality. Depending on the image, you choose the version that works best. The creator of the tool states that it is better to use "boring" for illustrations and logos, and "magic" for photos - an explanation.
