Update: That AI image upscaler I tried actually fixed my old photos

Honestly I got tired of looking at grainy family pics from 2005 on my phone. Tried a free upscaler online and it turned my grandma's blurry face into a weird wax figure. Ngl that was creepy. Then I paid $5 for a month of one called Topaz and it actually kept her wrinkles and smile intact. Anyone else find a decent upscaler that doesn't make people look like dolls?

The $5 ones always work better than the free ones, that's just how it goes. I tried one of those free apps on a photo of my dog from 2010 and it turned his floppy ears into what looked like a melted candle. Topaz is usually reliable, but I've also had decent luck with something called Remini for faces, just don't let it do the whole image at once or you get uncanny valley nightmares. The trick is to take it slow and only fix the parts that really need it, not just blast the whole picture.

dunno man, it's just a blurry old photo of your dog, not exactly life or death.
