I didn't notice how old these posts were, but it IS POSSIBLE, to take a small image, enlarge it, and keep it sharp.
All those files- JPEG, BMP, TILL, PNG, etc., are BITMAP files, and each PIXEL has its own inherent qualities which cannot be changed, in that type of file.
HOWEVER, in a VECTOR - type file, it uses "text" type of system using lines and curves, to change the inherent mathematical qualities of the image areas, and, without a longer explanation, it works a kind of "magic", making the enlarged image pretty sharp.
It's not perfect, it can't take a postage stamp and make a sharp poster, but it is FAR BETTER than any other alternative, I have seen.
