Shrinking, but visits are up 313% over the last six months.

Over two years, visits went from 17M in November 2024 to a high of 179M in August 2026, and stand at 146M in October 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, Magnific, which is why I also look at the market without it.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are down, so they agree.

“ai image upscaler” is searched about 135,000 times a month worldwide, 16% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai image upscaler” until July 2022; interest then climbed to its peak in March 2026. Americans make 16% of the searches but only 9% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Brazil and France.

Miles explains

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

More visits than a year ago only because of Magnific, but fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look like growth.

The fastest growers over the year, Image Upscaler, Upscayl and Picsart, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by Magnific, lost most of their search visits (-100%).

Miles explains

Huge percentages like Image Upscaler’s +101% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.

I expect November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026, and the next six months to look up.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward with the seasonal pattern, because that version missed least when tested on past months. November is usually a quieter month than average for searches.

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 3 times.

The most visited is Magnific, with 116 million visits a month, 79% of all visits.

Magnific and Picsart together hold 92% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 17 sites share 3.4%.

Magnific alone has 79% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
