Enhance a whole folder, not one photo at a time
If you have dozens of product shots, listing photos or scanned prints to clean up, doing them one by one wastes an afternoon. Unblurfy's batch mode lets you upload up to 20 images at once, choose one resolution for the whole batch, and download every result in a single ZIP file.
Batch is part of Unblurfy membership. If you just want to see what the AI does to your photos, you can try a single photo free first: once a day without an account, or twice a day when signed in.
Who bulk upscaling is for
- Online sellers with product photos from a phone, a supplier, or an old listing that look soft on a big screen.
- Real estate and rental hosts refreshing a set of room photos that were taken in low light.
- Photographers rescuing a set of slightly missed-focus shots from the same session.
- Family archivists working through a stack of scanned prints. For damaged or faded originals, see old photo restoration.
- Designers and marketers preparing a batch of small images for a deck, a website or print. For print sizes, use the print size calculator.
How batch mode works
- Switch to Batch. In the tool at the top of this page, Batch is already selected. Sign in with an active membership to use it.
- Add up to 20 photos. Drop them in or choose them from your device. JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC files up to 20 MB each are supported.
- Choose 1K or 2K for the whole batch. 1K gives roughly 1 megapixel per image; 2K gives roughly 4 megapixels. The exact size depends on each image's aspect ratio.
- Click Enhance. Each photo shows its own progress, so you can see which ones are finished.
- Download the ZIP. When the batch is done, download every result in one file, or save individual images.
Uploaded photos and results are deleted after 24 hours, so download your ZIP before then.
What it costs
Each image in a batch uses credits from your balance: 1 credit at 1K, 2 credits at 2K. A batch of 20 photos at 1K uses 20 credits; at 2K it uses 40.
Memberships include a monthly credit allowance. For example, the Basic plan includes 80 credits a month, enough for four full 1K batches. See pricing for all plans. If a photo fails to process, you are not charged for it.
Batch or single: which should you use?
Batch mode saves time when you have a set of similar photos and want them all at the same size. Single mode is better when each photo needs its own decision.
| Use batch when | Use single when |
|---|---|
| You have 5–20 photos from the same shoot or catalog | You have one or two important photos |
| One resolution suits the whole set | Some photos need 2K and others only 1K |
| You want one ZIP to upload to a store or drive | You want to check each result closely before the next |
| The photos share a problem, such as soft focus or compression | Each photo has a different problem, such as a face, text or an old scan |
You can also mix the two: run a single test photo first, then send the rest of the set as a batch once you like the result.
Preparing your files
A few minutes of preparation makes a batch run smoothly:
- Collect originals in one folder. Pull the files from your camera roll, cloud drive or supplier email into one place, so nothing gets missed.
- Remove duplicates and near-duplicates. Every image uses credits, so keep only the shots you will actually publish.
- Check file sizes. Each file can be up to 20 MB. Very large camera files can be exported as high-quality JPG first.
- Use clear file names. Names like "sku-1042-front.jpg" make it easy to match each result back to its listing when you replace images.
- Split big jobs. For 60 photos, run three batches of 20. If one batch has a problem, you only redo that one.
Tips for better batch results
- Group similar photos. A batch of product shots on a white background will come out more consistent than a mix of portraits, screenshots and landscapes.
- Test one first. Run a single photo at your chosen resolution before you commit a full batch. If the result looks right, the rest of a similar set usually will too.
- Pick the resolution by use. 1K is enough for most web listings and social posts. Choose 2K for zoomable product galleries or small prints.
- Start from the best copy you have. A photo that has been downloaded, re-uploaded and screenshotted several times has lost real detail. Use the original file if you can find it.
- Check text and logos. AI can redraw small text, such as a label or a brand name on packaging. Compare those areas with the original before you publish.
What bulk upscaling can and can't do
It can sharpen soft focus and mild motion blur, clean up JPEG blocks and compression noise, and enlarge small images to 1K or 2K with rebuilt detail.
It can't recover detail that was never captured, such as a face that is only a few pixels wide, and it doesn't produce exact copies of fine text. It is not a tool for removing watermarks or unblurring other people's censored content.
If you need one specific image larger than 2K, a dedicated enlargement step after Unblurfy is the better route. Our image upscaler page explains how output sizes work.
