Common questions
Online photos and the Windows app.
Updated
Can I enhance a photo online for free?
Yes. Choose one JPG, PNG or WebP, then select 2× or 4×. No login or usage credits are required. The image is uploaded for processing; file and pixel limits still apply.
Does the Windows app work offline?
Yes. Once it's installed, enhancement runs on your PC and nothing is uploaded.
Do I have to upload my files?
Not with the Windows app. The online photo tool at the top of this page does upload the image you choose, so use the app for anything private.
What can it improve?
Use the online image enhancer for photos, or the Windows app for photos and videos. Enhancement can increase resolution, reduce noise and sharpen edges. Results depend on the source; severe blur and missing detail cannot always be recovered.
Which graphics cards work?
The Windows app supports compatible NVIDIA, AMD and Intel GPUs through DirectML. Performance depends on the GPU, available memory, model and output size. The online image enhancer runs the AI model on a server, so you do not need to install a model or a local GPU runtime.
What are the online image size limits?
Upload one JPG, PNG or WebP up to 6 MB, 8 megapixels and 8192 pixels per side. Output is capped at 32 megapixels: choose 2× for larger photos, or 4× for inputs up to 2 megapixels. For video and batches, use the Windows app; practical limits depend on your hardware and storage.
Is the Windows app free to download?
Yes. The installer is free from the Microsoft Store and from this site. Check the export options available inside the app before starting a large project.
Do I need an account to use the app?
No sign-in is required to use ClapClip AI. Depending on your Windows settings, the Microsoft Store may ask for a Microsoft account only to install from the Store.
Can I enhance a video online?
No. The online tool enhances one photo at a time. Video upscaling, denoising and batch processing run in the Windows app on your own GPU, and nothing is uploaded.
What is the difference between 2× and 4×?
2× doubles the width and height of the photo; 4× quadruples them. Output is capped at 32 megapixels, so 4× is offered for photos up to 2 megapixels and 2× for larger ones. Neither setting invents detail that the source does not contain.
Can I enhance several photos at once?
Not online: the free tool processes one photo per upload. The Windows app queues whole folders of photos or videos and processes them in sequence on your GPU.
Does it work on old or scanned photos?
Often. Enhancement can reduce grain, sharpen soft edges and raise the resolution of small scans. It cannot rebuild faces or text that the scan never captured, so results vary with the original.
What happens to a photo I enhance online?
It is uploaded so the server can run the model, and the enhanced image is returned to your browser. Use the Windows app for anything that must not leave your machine.
