What is Enhance.place?
Enhance.place is the image and video enhancer from ClapClip AI. It comes in two separate parts. The website takes one JPG, PNG or WebP at a time, up to 6 MB, 8 megapixels and 8192 pixels per side, and returns a 2x or 4x enlargement with less noise and sharper edges. It needs no login and has no daily quota, but the photo is uploaded to ClapClip's servers for processing.
The second part is the ClapClip AI app for 64-bit Windows 10 and 11, an installer of about 2 GB. It upscales, denoises, sharpens and restores photos and videos on your own NVIDIA, AMD or Intel graphics card through DirectML, works offline once installed and queues whole folders. Video input covers MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV and WEBM, with the audio and frame rate kept. The same app also does face swap, transcription and video downloads; on the Microsoft Store it is listed as "FaceSwap AI - ClapClip Bulk Video&Photo Editor" from the publisher QIZ DANCE.
Previews in the app are free, but exporting an enhanced file is part of a subscription, and neither site publishes its price.
Is Enhance.place worth it?
A photo that looked fine on your phone turns soft and grainy the moment you print it or crop it for a banner, and most enhancers want an account, credits or a monthly plan before they hand back the bigger file.
The browser tool on Enhance.place asks for none of that. You drop in one photo, pick 2x or 4x, and download the result. The limits are clear: output tops out at 32 megapixels, so 4x is offered only for inputs up to 2 megapixels, about a 1600 by 1200 image, and larger photos get 2x. The FAQ is honest that neither setting invents detail the source never had, and that badly blurred faces and text cannot always be recovered.
The Windows app is the private option. According to the site it runs General, Anime and Portrait models on your own GPU, nothing is uploaded, and for video it enhances keyframes and rebuilds the frames in between, which means less work per second than tools that process every frame. That puts it up against Upscayl, the free open-source desktop upscaler, which works on Windows, macOS and Linux and charges nothing to save the result.
The catch: exporting from the app is part of a subscription, and ClapClip's own review page admits the site publishes no subscription price, trial length or refund terms. The Microsoft Store listing, released on 11 June 2025, sells the app as a face swap tool, shows in-app purchases and had no ratings at the time of writing. The online privacy notice names no company, carries no date, says nothing about training, and promises no retention period for uploads or results; it also says not to use the feature commercially without "the relevant authorization", without saying whose. The Store's linked privacy policy is a Chinese-language notice written for face swap.
Our take: the free browser upscaler is a reasonable thing to reach for when a photo is not private and you need it bigger now. For anything you would not post publicly, or for paid client work, the vagueness about price, retention and commercial rights is reason enough to look elsewhere until ClapClip writes them down.
Where it earns its place

Make it big enough for an A4 print
Upload it to the browser tool and choose 4x, which the 32 MP output cap allows for inputs up to 2 MP. Free, with no account, but the photo sits on ClapClip's servers for an unstated time.

Install the app, preview a short clip offline, and check the export options before queuing a folder. Exporting needs the subscription, whose price only appears inside the app.
