In some cases, we may need to enlarge an image in order to see its more details. For high-definition pictures, if just zoom in several times, its quality can still make users satisfied; But when you need to enlarge it to more than ten times or even dozens of times, that must cause a sudden drop on quality and the appearance of jagged image (also called Mosaic). As to low-resolution images, the situation is even worse.

SmillaEnlarger is a free, high-quality (non-lossy) and open-source image enlarger written based on Qt for Windows and Mac OS X. Through its original 'emboss' image zooming algorithm (to make sure the hue/brightness of processed image is close to the original one, in which case, the enlarged image can still appear relatively smooth), it can make automatic adjustments so as to achieve a good result for image magnification - to avoid the sawtooth.
SmillaEnlarger is very easy to get started. Only through simple drag & drop of mouse, the operations like image magnifying & cutting can get fast preview effect. To sum up, in the field of non-destructive magnification, it has surpassed the professional image processing tool Photoshop.
