How to increase resolution of an image on Windows 11/10?

Increasing the resolution of an image on Windows 11 or 10 can be done in several ways, depending on the result you want. You can use built-in tools for simple resizing, try Microsoft's new AI feature for smart enhancement, or use third-party software for more advanced control.

The simplest way to change an image's size is with the apps already on your computer. It's important to note that these methods do not add new details; they simply stretch the existing pixels. This can make the image look blurry or pixelated if you enlarge it too much.
