I have an image that I received that has small numbers and text around it and when I zoom in it gets blurry/pixilated. When I change the image size it is still blurry/pixilated. Is there any way that I can make it so that it looks at least halfway decent when zoomed in? If you want the image just reply that you want it and I can upload it.

As others have said, you will have to recreate the text. its something I have to do all the time with my day job with files customers send us. If you truly want it to not be blurry at all when you zoom in, you might want to recreate it as a vector image in Illustrator. And please, don't get rude with us. We're trying to help you. I understand its frustrating when things don't work the way you want them to work in an app and we're doing our best to help you. But also keep in mind, none of us are Adobe employees, we're people who use the apps just like you and we're using our experience to help

Again, it wasn't rude. And I understand that. How can I recreate the text if I can't read what the text says?

You either need to make a bess guess as to what it says, or track down who made the image and see if you can get a higher res image or one that has the original layers that have text, as others have said. There's no way to magically make the text become clear, because when its flattened and set up at that resolution, whatever sharpness it once had isn't there anymore. You can try to tweak contrast or mess with the sharpness filter, but its not going to help too much.

Maybe post the image in here so we can see.

By the way, what are the pixel dimensions of your image?

Here is the image Rika's Address Map (Dispatch Desktop Version) 04-29-2018.jpg - Google Drive it just too large for the uploader.

The image size is 4144x5624

I think that, unless you can get the original layered image, you’re stuck with this.

If you interpolate rasterized text way up in size it will become very soft distorted and unreadable. Try adding text layers that cover the unusable interpolated resized text

Well, I didn't make the image and it would be very hard to get the same text in the same spot that it's in.

If its not you image you should not use the image without permission. Ask the owner if they still have the source and can they resize it for your use.
