Photographers love chasing after image quality, including maximum sharpness, detail, and resolution. Most likely, you’ve wondered at some point how to take higher-resolution photos, or increase the resolution of images you already have (whether photographs or digital illustrations). This article explains step-by-step how to increase resolution quickly and easily in common post-processing software. It also includes a comparison of five popular options for upsampling images to find which one yields the best results.
Note that this article mainly approaches the topic of resolution from the perspective of photography, although the final comparison among software options also includes a digital illustration component.
You’ll be seeing a lot of these two before long.

What Is Resolution?
In photography, resolution is the amount of detail in a photo. This is determined by factors such as focus precision, lens quality, and camera sensor pixel count. If you print your photo, other factors come into play as well – the size, display medium, and quality of the print, and so on.
People use the term “resolution” to talk about more than just the level of detail in a photo, though. It also can refer to more specific things like lens resolving power, pixels per inch in a print, and total pixel count of your digital image. That last usage is one of the most common, and it’s also the focus of this article.
When photographers ask about increasing an image’s resolution, pixel count is typically what they have in mind – turning something like a 200 × 200 pixel photo into a 1000 × 1000 pixel photo (just to pick arbitrary numbers).
Of course, it’s not enough just to add pixels if the apparent image quality of your photo doesn’t improve along the way. Otherwise, why bother increasing resolution? Unfortunately, it’s not easy to get a good photo out of a low-res original – but it isn’t impossible. You still can get impressive results if you do things right, as shown below.
