Answer 1

What you ask is impossible, because you expect it to add extra details to picture that doesn't existing while stretching. All you can do is after stretching, work on the pic again draw a few parts of it again to hide the blurry look...

Answer 2

If the picture has been saved as a bitmap, you can open it in Windows Paint, or similar program, and use the dotted rectangle tool to copy part of the pic, then using image attributes, increase the dimensions of the image - you get some extra white space.  Move part of the pic to the outer limit, then copy a stripe of the pic to fill the white space in the middle.

Yes, it's very laborious, but unless you can copy part of the detail, stretching will always blur.

I made a pen and ink pic of a lion, scanned it, then decided it needed improving, so changed the length of the lion's body.

Seems OK to me now:

I have some HTML editing tools for very basic web pages that you might need to start or edit a website.  One of these is a gradient color maker.  You can save the result as a gradient color bitmap, which is fine, but in MS system, it goes stripey when you try to make a JPG - the answer is to do a bit of editing.  I find that MS PNG graphics work better than MS GIF graphics for preserving details and colors in an image.
