Remini is a phone app and it’s been mentioned here before. People say it does a good job, for what it is.
I had not heard of My Heritage, but have just given it a try on one very old digital image. I sent the original JPG and then upscaled it a bit more using GP AI. The results speak for themselves. Pity about the logo on the My Heritage version.


I am going to try it on a few other old images that GP AI had difficulty with. Thanks for the heads-up.

Try doing it in stages like you are doing with the other apps, 2x 2x 2x will give much better results than 6x with faces.
