You Won't Believe How This AI Upscaled My Design/Photos! 😱 Canva's Hidden Gem

About this video

RJ demonstrates two AI enhancer apps inside Canva — a regular image Enhancer and a Pixel Enhancer — and tests both on the same design. He finds them via Canva’s Apps search, uploads a 1024x1024 ‘Not your average teacher’ design he says he created with Ideogram 1.0, then adds the original on a second page and zooms in to compare. At high zoom the original gets blurry, while the enhanced versions look cleaner. After testing both, he concludes the regular Enhancer performed a little better than the Pixel Enhancer on this design, with less pixelation and better detail on lettering like the ‘C’ and ‘H’ and on the face. He repeats the point with a photo of his two English bulldogs, Biggie and George, where the enhanced version shows bench detail more clearly. He notes he pays $12.99 a month for Canva, uses it almost daily for thumbnails, product reviews and background removal, and that a free trial is available to test the enhancers. He cautions that at some point an image cannot be enhanced further and is better recreated.

Key takeaways

• Canva contains two separate apps to test: the regular image Enhancer and the Pixel Enhancer, both found by searching in Apps.
• In his side-by-side zoom test, the regular Enhancer looked slightly better than the Pixel Enhancer — less pixelated, with cleaner lettering and facial detail.
• Compare enhanced vs. original by placing them on separate pages and zooming in to around 200-500% to judge the difference.
• Enhancers can improve a low-resolution AI design or photo, but an image that cannot be improved enough may be better recreated.
• He says he created the test design with Ideogram 1.0 and uses Canva, which he pays $12.99/month for, for thumbnails and background removal.
