Frequently asked questions about Nero Lens
What is HD Image Downloader - Nero Lens for Chrome?
It is an AI-powered Chrome Extension that automatically upscales and downloads images from websites you're browsing in seconds, enlarging small photos to 4x larger size with clearer results using advanced AI model technology.
How does Nero AI Image Upscaler work?
It uses state-of-the-art image super-resolution technology based on deep convolutional neural networks trained on millions of low-resolution and high-resolution image pairs to learn features of physical objects, then enhances details based on general knowledge of the world.
To what maximum resolution can I enlarge my image?
For web and mobile versions, source images should be smaller than 16 megapixels (e.g., 4000x4000 pixels in 1:1 aspect ratio). For desktop version, source images should be smaller than 16.78 megapixels. The tool can boost photos by 400% and create billboard-ready masterpieces with 300+ DPI.
What images work best with Nero AI Image Upscaler?
The system works best with unprocessed images not previously upscaled or pixelated by other software. It focuses on upscaling physical content with sharp corners like digital illustrations, images with sharp borders, and contrasting textures such as watches. High-quality 4K wallpapers show less obvious results.
Do you remove JPEG compression artifacts?
Yes, JPEG noise (compression artifacts) is automatically removed when detecting images with .jpg or .jpeg extension. If you want to upscale without removing noise, you can input your image as a PNG file.
