upscaling
Making images bigger
Upscaling is increasing the resolution or quality of an image or video, typically using software that interpolates pixels to make low-resolution content appear sharper on high-resolution displays: The TV's upscaling makes old DVDs look better on a 4K screen.
More broadly, upscaling means improving or upgrading something to a higher standard: The hotel underwent upscaling to attract wealthier guests.
