enlarging tiny photo

Took pic over Skype. Other person involved was using a mobile phone so pic is very small. Trying to enlarge but it becomes fuzzy and pixilates. Any way to enlarge and get a decent photo. I am using Gimp 2.6.

My method: I open the file with Gliv (opengl viewer), I zoom it with Gliv (not too much, you dont have to see pixels) then I take a screenshot, I save it as .png. It works well.

Trying to enlarge a picture by too big a percentage will result in it going pixelly and/or fuzzy. You didn't state the size of the original or how big you want to make it. I'd suggest you try liquid rescale.

"I'd suggest you try liquid rescale. Then you get sharped and deformed edges... I prefer gliv + screenshot + sharpen
