3) SizeFixer – Enlarge images up to 400%

SizeFixer is a wonderful tool from FixerLabs. Before starting with, let me say SizeFixer is not a Free Tool so I didn’t wanted to include this in here, but later I thought of its usefulness to professionals, so I included SizeFixer. What makes this tool special is its capability to enlarge images up to 400% of their original size. Thats way ahead of what other software can do. SizeFixer makes this possible by automatically erasing the dark and faded parts in the image, thus giving rise to a high clarity image without losing quality.

SizeFixer Home version can Enlarge images upto a size of 16 Mega Pixels. SizeFixer is a pricier tool, but it is worth it for professionals.
