✨ Meet Reconstruct: Next-Gen Detail Generation

Say goodbye to blurry textures and compression artifacts. Our new Reconstruct model goes beyond standard pixel scaling—it intelligently regenerates realistic textures, skin details, and fabric patterns that traditional upscalers miss.

• Best for: Low-res vintage photos, heavily compressed web images, portraits, text, digital art, fine textures and product photos.

🖨️ Print-Ready Physical Sizing

Take the guesswork out of printing. You can now resize images based on real-world dimensions rather than just pixels.

• Physical Units: Seamlessly input width and height in inches (in), centimeters (cm), or millimeters (mm).

• Custom DPI Control: Set standard print DPI (e.g., 300 DPI for high-end prints, 150 DPI for posters) with auto-calculated pixel counts.

• Zero Guesswork: Perfect for photo albums, wall art, and print shop prep.

✂️ Enhanced Image Cropping Tool

Pre-processing your shots is now quicker and more intuitive.

• Precise Focus: Crop out unwanted background elements and focus directly on key subjects before running AI enhancement.

• Dimension Guard: Built-in safeguards prevent crops that fall below minimum model resolutions, ensuring optimal results every time.

⚡ Workflow & Performance Improvements

• Smart Folder Destination: Save enhanced outputs directly back to the source folder with a single click.

• True 1:1 Comparison: Side-by-side preview now supports true 1:1 pixel scale for effortless micro-detail inspection.

• Safer Large File Handling: Added safety pre-checks and clear warnings for ultra-high-resolution and WebP files to prevent memory overflow and crashes.

• Core Stability: Improved AI engine initialization, resolved rare export freezes, and refined login state feedback.

Bigger. Sharper. Faster.

Meet the Next Generation of AI Image Upscaler

This release delivers one of the biggest upgrades to our AI Image Upscaler yet — bringing larger upscale capabilities, smarter clarity recovery, and dramatically improved batch productivity.

Whether you’re restoring old memories, improving blurry photos, or processing large creative projects, the new generation engine is built to help you do more in less time.

🚀 New 8× Upscaling

The new 8× upscale mode allows dramatically larger image enhancement while preserving texture, edges, and natural detail.

An 4K image can now be enlarged up to 32K* resolution, making it ideal for:

• Large-format printing

• Posters and banners

• Professional design assets

• Ultra high-resolution workflows

Compared to previous versions, the new engine delivers cleaner edges, better texture reconstruction, and improved detail stability.

🖼️ Ultra Large Output Support — Up to 1024 MP

This generation also introduces support for outputs up to 1024 megapixels*.

The upgraded processing pipeline is optimized for extremely large images while maintaining:

• Stable detail reconstruction

• Better memory handling

• Smoother large-scale processing

• Improved export reliability

Perfect for creators working with:

• Large canvas artwork

• Commercial print assets

• High-resolution AI creations

• Professional production workflows

✨ New AI Models: Sharpen & Unblur

Different image problems require different AI solutions.

This release introduces two specialized enhancement models focused entirely on clarity recovery.

Sharpen**

Designed for soft images that already contain details but lack crispness.

Sharpen improves:

• Texture visibility

• Edge definition

• Fine-detail contrast

• Overall image clarity

Great for:

• Landscapes

• Product photos

• AI-generated artwork

• Screenshots and graphics

Unblur**

Built specifically for blurry images caused by:

• Motion blur

• Camera shake

• Focus issues

• Compression artifacts

Unblur intelligently reconstructs lost structure while keeping results natural and readable.

Ideal for:

• Old phone photos

• Blurry portraits

• Moving subjects

• Low-quality scanned images

⚡ Much Larger Batch Processing

This release also delivers a major productivity upgrade for power users.

Previous versions supported processing up to 20 images per batch.

Now, the new engine supports up to 100 images in a single run — a massive 5× increase in batch capacity.

That means:

• Fewer interruptions

• Less repetitive setup

• Faster project completion

• Better workflows for large image collections

Whether you're restoring entire albums or enhancing content libraries, batch processing is now dramatically more efficient than before.

Combined with backend optimizations and improved processing pipelines, large-scale tasks now feel smoother, faster, and more stable.

🔧 Designed for Heavy Creative Workloads

This update is focused on helping creators push further with AI image enhancement.

We improved:

• Maximum upscale capability

• Detail reconstruction quality

• Blur recovery accuracy

• Large-scale processing workflows

• Overall engine stability and efficiency

From casual photo restoration to professional creative production, this release gives you more power across every stage of the workflow.

Available Now

Update today to experience:

• Massive 8× image enlargement

• Dedicated Sharpen & Unblur AI models

• 5× larger batch processing capacity

• Faster and smoother large-project workflows

More images. More detail. Less waiting.

Notes

* 32K output and up to 1024 MP support are currently available on the Windows version only. Support for macOS is under development.

** Sharpen and Unblur are currently processed using Nero Cloud GPU. Native local AI models are on our roadmap and will be available in a future update.

This release focuses on stability improvements, better online processing feedback, and more control in batch workflows, making both local and cloud usage more reliable and predictable.

Note: Version numbers and release timing may vary across platforms due to individual store review processes.

🚀 New Features & Key Improvements

Actual Size Side-by-Side View
A new side-by-side view mode lets you compare images at their actual size, making it easier to visually understand width and height differences before and after processing.

Apply Process / Cloud Actions to All Unprocessed Images
When multiple images are selected, the Process or Cloud button now applies to all unprocessed images at once, significantly improving batch efficiency.

Face Recovery Control Added to Engine Options
You can now set Face Recovery to Auto / On / Off in the engine settings, giving you greater flexibility between automated workflows and manual control.

In Auto mode, the app automatically detects whether an image contains a human portrait and enables Face Recovery only when a face is detected.

Temporary Folder Visibility in General Options
The temporary working directory is now visible in General Options, helping advanced users with troubleshooting and file management.

“Submit a Request” Entry Added to the Menu
A new menu entry allows users to submit feature requests, vote on features they care about, and explore our product roadmap to see what’s coming next.

✨Experience Improvements

More Accurate Error Messages for Online Failures
Online processing errors now display specific, meaningful messages instead of the generic “file not supported,” making issues easier to understand and resolve.

Fixed Incorrect Status During Online Auto-Start Processing
Resolved an issue where images were shown as finished before processing actually completed when using online auto-start with multiple photos.

Newly added files show on the end (right) of the file list
Newly added files now will be placed on the bottom of the file list. We will still switch to its preview screen, better to for double check this is the right file you want even it will not impact the current processing queue.

🛠 Stability & Behavior Fixes

Fixed Process That Could Not Be Ended for Free / 2025 Suite Users
Processing can now be ended correctly when Auto-Start is set to Online mode but no online features are used, preventing the app from getting stuck.

Prevent Images from Being Resized Below 1×
Images will no longer be unintentionally resized to below their original scale, ensuring consistent and expected output dimensions.
