Overview
Image enhancement tools adjust perceived quality or prepare assets for design work. Blur Image softens regions; Image Upscaler attempts enlargement; SVG Optimizer reduces vector file weight; Color Palette Generator extracts schemes from reference photos.
Upscaling cannot recover detail that was never captured — treat results as drafts. SVG optimization may remove editor metadata you still need — keep originals.
Color Contrast Checker (in Developer) complements palette work when validating text readability on backgrounds.
How to choose
- Soften or privacy blur → Blur Image.
- Larger dimensions → Image Upscaler.
- Smaller SVG files → SVG Optimizer.
- Design colors → Color Palette Generator.
Frequently asked questions
Is upscaling the same as higher resolution?
No. It interpolates pixels; sharpness may look softer or artificial.
Does blur upload images?
Processing is local in your browser.
Can SVG Optimizer break icons?
Aggressive optimization can change paths. Test icons after optimization.
