Here Are 3 FREE Tools To Transform Any Image Instantly! (Ai Upscaler & Background Removal)

Introduction

In today's digital age, enhancing and upscaling images has never been easier, especially with the availability of free online tools. Whether you're looking to spruce up images for a website or social media, this guide will take you through a step-by-step process to upscale and refine any image of your choice—no hidden fees, trials, or complications involved.

In this tutorial, we will be exploring three awesome websites:

Photopea: For image file format conversion.
Pixelcut: For background removal.
Image Upscaler: For enhancing and upscaling images.

Let’s dive into the details and get started!

Step 1: Start with an Image

To kick off, you need to find an image you want to enhance. For instance, if you're interested in adding an image of a VR headset to your project, start by performing a search on Google. After browsing, select an image that you like.

However, be cautious, as images often download in various formats. If your image downloads in a less desirable format (like WEBP), you can use Photopea to convert it to a JPEG, a more compatible image file format. Here’s how:

Import and Export in Photopea

Go to Photopea.
Import the weirdly formatted image file.
Export it as a JPEG.

Now that you've got your image in a more manageable file format, the next steps are straightforward and primarily consist of dragging and dropping your image.

Step 2: Remove the Background

Next, head over to Pixelcut to remove the background from your image. Once imported, the tool will automatically generate a transparent background, and you can export your work as a PNG:

Import the JPEG image into Pixelcut.
After the removal process, export it as a PNG to maintain the transparency.

Step 3: Upscale the Image

Now that you have a PNG file with a transparent background, it’s time for the final step—upscaling. Go to Image Upscaler and choose to upscale your image either by 200% or 400%. Keep in mind that upscaling affects the file size, so balance quality and size according to your needs:

Upload your PNG file.
Choose the desired upscale percentage.
Download the enhanced image.

Additional Tips:

If you're using a mobile device, consider switching from Photopea to Canva, which tends to be more smartphone-friendly.
Should you encounter issues with exporting from Pixelcut, remember that Photopea and Canva provide tools like the Eraser and Lasso tools to adjust your image as needed.
If a background unexpectedly appears during upscaling, simply return to Pixelcut to remove it again without sacrificing resolution.

Conclusion

With these three free online tools—Photopea for conversion, Pixelcut for background removal, and Image Upscaler for enhancement—you can easily transform any image into something professional and eye-catching. Remember, practice makes perfect, so feel free to experiment multiple times!
