It's quite easy to zoom in on images without losing quality, and there are many tools that can help you do this – many of them AI-powered. Keep reading to discover some of the best ways to quickly zoom in on your images and ensure you get high-quality results.
BeFunky
Because BeFunky is online software, you can use it from any computer without installing anything. However, BeFunky still has many different editing tools besides resizing, making it a complete and free photo editor.
To enlarge images without losing quality in BeFunky:
1. Drag the image you want into the software.
2. Select Resize from the menu on the left.
3. Enlarge the image by changing the pixel count or increasing the percentage.
4. Click Apply and you're done.
The software doesn't allow you to experiment with different methods for enlarging images; it only provides a standard. However, the results are quite good, especially when the original image is not small at all. Although you can use AI image enhancement tools, you need a paid plan to do so.
Additionally, you have the option to batch process 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 images.
Image Illustrator

1. Click Browse to select your image. You can only do one thing at a time.
2. Set the output to JPG or PNG.
3. In Define dimension for the enlarged image , you can set specific pixels or change the Zoom factor . Remember that the limit is 4,500 pixels. You also don't need to set both the height and width – one is sufficient, and the website will determine the other to maintain the aspect ratio.
4. Press Start .
