The software does not allow you to try different methods to enlarge images, it only provides a standard. However, the results are quite good, especially when the original image is not small in size. While you can use the AI ​​image enhancement tool, you need a paid plan to do so.

Additionally, you have the option of batch processing images. This allows you to resize multiple images at once, saving a lot of time. BeFunky is also a great way to blur parts of your image.
