# Image Enhancement Tools 'Let's Enhance' Uses Machine Learning to Touch Up Low-Res Pictures By Joey Haar | Published 2017-11-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lets-enhance References: [letsenhance.io](https://letsenhance.io/https://thenextweb.com/apps/2017/11/07/this-site-uses-machine-learning-to-enhance-your-low-res-photos-for-free/) & [letsenhance.io](https://letsenhance.io/) In the age of [image-based social media](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/image-bear), clean and crisp pictures are a must, and 'Let's Enhance' helps users cater to that social audience even if they don't have a single megapixel to their name. The new browser-based tool uses a [machine learning algorithm to enhance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photorater) JPEGs by a factor of four, turning grainy and artifact-ridden snaps into crisp and finely detailed images that are worthy of a smattering of likes on [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dealer-creative-ai). Many recently released smartphones come with impressive cameras built in, but for those with older models, professional pictures are far from a guarantee. Even those with top-of-the-line smartphones might want to zoom in on a picture and end up disappointed with the results. Let's Enhance can touch up low-res images no matter how they were taken, and it even "hallucinates" details to make images look more natural and realistic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Machine Learning:** Using machine learning algorithms to enhance image quality and details. - **Image-based Social Media:** The need for clean and crisp pictures for social media platforms drives the demand for image enhancement tools. - **Improving Image Resolution:** Enhancing low-resolution images to improve clarity and detail. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** The photography industry can leverage image enhancement tools to improve the quality of their photographs and attract more clients. - **Social Media:** Image-enhancement tools provide social media platforms with better visual content, increasing user engagement and satisfaction. - **Mobile Technology:** The mobile technology industry can integrate image enhancement tools into smartphones to enhance the quality of images for users with older models or limited camera capabilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI Photo Enhancers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photo-enhancer.md) - [Photo Enhancement Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picsify.md) - [Resolution-Improving Editing Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enhance-super-resolution-feature.md) - [AI Photo Enhancers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photo-enhancers.md) - [Image-Enhancing AI Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myheritage-1.md) - [AI Image Enhancers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/promediafy.md) - [AI-Powered High-Res Editing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/videogigagan.md) - [AI-Powered Photo Enlargement Software](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photo-enlargement.md) - [AI-Powered Image Enhancers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-enhancex-ai.md)
