Snip for Mac enhancing a food photo, before and after comparison

On Mac

Sharpen and upscale photos right on your Mac, one at a time or a whole set with the same settings.

  • ×2 upscaling with the Fast model free, within 3 edits a day
  • ×4, custom scale and the Natural and Sharp models with PRO
  • Up to 8192 px
  • Batch processing with PRO
  • Runs on your Mac and works offline

What enhancing fixes well

  • Slightly soft or out-of-focus photos
  • Small images you need bigger, for print or a large screen
  • Old low-resolution photos
  • Pictures that lost quality after compression in messengers and social networks

What it can’t fix

  • Heavy motion blur or a completely out-of-focus shot can’t be fully restored.
  • The AI rebuilds detail it predicts, so tiny text, distant faces or license plates may come out different from reality. Don’t rely on enhanced images as documents or evidence.
