What scan resolution should I use?

300 dpi for normal prints, 600 dpi for small ones. Then the upscaler has more to work with.

Is the scan uploaded?

Not with this upscaler; it runs in your browser. The restore tool does upload, because its AI runs on a server.

Yes: restore first, then upscale the result if you need it bigger.

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Scan the print (or photograph it flat by a window without flash), drop it above and choose 2× or 4×: the result is sharper and larger. This free upscaler does not repair damage, so scratches, cracks, stains and torn corners stay. To fix those or add color, use Restore old photos on Utilorca, which repairs damage for US$0.99 per photo after a free preview.
