Hi Product Hunt 👋 I’m the creator of AI Upscaler — a Chrome extension designed to enhance a pic, improve resolution of image quality, and reconstruct realistic texture and facial fidelity with modern diffusion reconstruction. I decided to build it after testing many image enhancer tools and noticing the same problems over and over again: • blurry or distorted faces on small subjects • “plastic” textures after enhancement • oversharpened results that look artificial • outdated models producing plastic-looking surfaces Most AI upscalers simply stretch pixels. AI Upscaler uses state-of-the-art technology to reconstruct realistic surfaces, hair, skin, and facial features instead of just enlarging the visual. The goal was simple: create a picture upscaler that produces sharper and more natural-looking results. How it works 1. Install AI Upscaler from the Chrome Web Store 2. Upload an visual or right-click any picture on the page 3. Choose 2×, 3×, or 4× upscale 4. Compare before/after and download the ai upscaled version Key features • Facial feature and surface reconstruction • Better handling of small faces and generated artwork • Natural-looking textures without the plastic effect • Fast upscaler workflow with drag & drop support What makes it different • Uses modern single-step diffusion reconstruction techniques • Preserves realistic materials, hair, and skin detail • Produces cleaner results on compressed and low-res images • Focused on visual realism instead of aggressive sharpening Would love to hear your feedback on my AI upscaler and your ideas for improving it 🙌 You can try it here: https://chromewebstore.google.co...

Congrats on the launch, Anton! Single-step diffusion (SeedVR2) is a smart pick — most upscalers either smear detail or take forever, so getting real facial/texture reconstruction fast is the hard part. Right-click-any-image-on-a-page is a nice touch too. Curious: does the heavier 4× run in-browser or via your backend? Great work! 🎉
