Shutterstock AI Image Generator vs Upscale Image (Upscayl)

Attaches a commercial Shutterstock Standard License and $10,000 legal indemnification to every downloaded AI image, with full human-reviewed indemnification available on Enterprise and Business tiers.

Includes browser-based inpainting, magic object erasure, background removal, image reference guidance, and aspect-ratio canvas expansion that routes royalties directly to the original contributor when editing stock photos.

AI models analyze the image and reconstruct detail to raise resolution while keeping textures and edges natural rather than artificially sharpened.

Purpose-built modes for standard photos, portraits, anime and art, face restoration and scratch restoration let you match the tool to the image.

Upload up to 5 images at once on the free tier, with larger batches available on paid plans for high-volume workflows.

Non-destructive cleanup tools include background removal, object removal, watermark removal, colorization, photo restoration and an AI photo editor.
