About Nero AI Image Upscaler
Nero AI is a collection of browser based AI tools for enhancing, restoring and editing images, run by Nero. Its core tool is the Image Upscaler, which enlarges photos at 2x, 4x or 8x using Photo, Anime, Standard, Iris or Reconstruct models, with an optional face enhancement step.
Around the upscaler sit tools for image sharpening, photo restoration, colorizing, denoising, unblurring, film emulation, compression, background removal, background generation and changing, object removal and cutouts. Creative tools include face animation, cartoonize, a hug generator, stadium cam and jersey generators, and a face swap tool; the site does not state a consent policy for face swap. Nero also offers Windows desktop apps for image upscaling, video upscaling, face blurring and photo editing, and mobile apps named Nero Lens and Erasee. Tools can be chained into a multi step workflow, such as removing a background, generating a new scene, upscaling and compressing.
Usage is metered in Nero Credits shared across the web and Windows desktop apps. The standard upscaler costs 1 credit per image at 2x, 2 at 4x and 4 at 8x, with 8x limited to paid users. The Reconstruct model costs 4, 8 and 16 credits at those scales. Restoration, sharpening and unblur options cost between 1 and 4 credits, with an HD output add on of 2 credits. The pricing page lists subscriptions, credit packs, a 30 day money back guarantee and API access, but dollar plan prices are not shown in the readable page text.
