Yes, there are several free tools you can use to resize images without losing quality. Programs like GIMP, Canva, or online services such as Pixlr offer resizing features that help maintain clarity.

You can explore the service by using the 30-day complimentary trial of Photoshop CC.

I attempted several methods that resulted in a "blurry mess." On Windows, Paint.Net was suggested as a straightforward option, while for Linux, GIMP is recommended as the preferred tool for image editing.

I used GIMP and went through the instructions to enlarge the image, but it mostly functioned well—though it ended up creating a blurry mess.

Attempting to enlarge an image often results in a loss of clarity, especially if you increase the size too much. You seem to be working with a bitmap file that contains pixel data, which limits how much you can resize without degrading quality. The additional information stored for each pixel isn’t available for expansion later, which is beyond the software’s control. This concept applies to bitmap images, not just their format.
