Improve Photo Quality — Pro, on our server
Break quality into attributes and the vague complaint becomes a decision. Pixel count is how much picture the file physically holds. Sharpness is how well fine structure survived focus, shutter and lens. Noise is the random speckle laid over everything. Tonal range is how much separation survives in the brightest and darkest areas. Colour accuracy is whether white looks white. Of those, the Cloud HD enhancer moves sharpness and noise a long way, colour a little, and pixel count not at all — it returns exactly the dimensions it was handed. Clipped highlights are gone permanently, whatever any tool claims.
Choosing what not to run is half the skill. The monthly allowance — 150 general runs on Pro Monthly, 200 on Pro Annual, resetting on the 1st in UTC with no rollover — rewards selectivity, and so does the result. A correctly exposed, well-focused photograph gives a reconstruction model very little to reconstruct, so the output looks almost identical and the run is spent. Save them for the photographs that are visibly soft, speckled, over-compressed or faded, where there is real damage to undo. The related page on enhancing photo quality goes into what enhancement can and cannot recover on a single image.
Some of the biggest gains cost nothing at all. Stop re-saving JPEGs: every round trip discards a little more, and five forwards through a chat app can do more damage than the original mistake. Export once, at high quality, and use the image converter when a format change is genuinely needed and the image compressor once, at the end, for delivery. Both run entirely in your browser. If what you actually need is a bigger file rather than a cleaner one, that is the pixel-count attribute and it belongs to the upscaler.
Where the file goes when you do decide a run is worth it. Almost everything on MiniPx processes your image inside your own browser and uploads nothing. Cloud HD is the deliberate exception, because these models are far too large to ship to a tab: it is Pro-only and opt-in, your photo is uploaded to our server for that run and deleted when the run finishes, and in all cases within 24 hours, it is processed in the United States, encrypted in transit, and never used to train anything. The model behind the run is RestoreFormer++, and the result says so. Prices exclude tax and a refused or failed run is never charged.
