AI Image Upscaler
Make a picture bigger and better at the same time. Several upscaling models, so a photograph, a logo, and a generated illustration each get the one that suits them.
- 2x and 4x enlargement
- Models tuned for photos, art, and graphics
- Cleans noise and softness as it enlarges
- Results land in your library
How to upscale an image
Two decisions and a check. The model matters more than the multiplier, and looking at the result at full size matters more than either.
- 01
Upload the best version you have
The original file, not a screenshot of it or a copy that has been through a chat app. Compression artefacts are enlarged with everything else, and no model removes them as convincingly as never having them.
- 02
Pick the model that matches the material
Photographic upscalers preserve grain and skin; crisp upscalers sharpen edges and flat colour, which suits icons, vector-style art, and text. Using the wrong one gives you plastic skin or mushy edges.
- 03
Check at 100 per cent
Judge the result at full size on the detail that matters — eyes, lettering, a product edge. A thumbnail tells you nothing about whether an upscale worked.
What the upscaler is for
Print from a screen-sized image
The most common reason to upscale: a picture that was fine on a page now has to be a poster, a banner, or a spread.
Rescuing small originals
An old photograph, a thumbnail, or the only surviving copy of an asset, enlarged to something usable.
Finishing generated images
Generate at the model's best size, then upscale — reliably better than asking a generator for an unusual large size directly.
Different models for different material
Photographs, illustration, and graphics with hard edges have opposite requirements. Having more than one model is the point rather than a menu.
Cleanup along the way
Noise and mild softness typically improve during an upscale, because the model resolves them rather than magnifying them.
Straight on to the next step
The upscaled result stays in your library, ready to edit, relight, or animate.
When to reach for it
Product photography for print
Web-sized catalog shots brought up to the size a printed piece needs.
Old photographs
Scans and early digital pictures enlarged for framing or restoration work.
Logos and icons
Raster marks that have to appear large, sharpened with an upscaler built for hard edges.
Generated art at full size
Taking an image you generated to a size that holds up on a wall rather than a feed.
Cropped photos
A punched-in crop that lost the resolution it needed, restored.
Presentation and display
Assets that were sized for a slide and now have to fill a screen behind a stage.
Choosing an upscaler, and knowing what it is doing
An AI upscaler does not enlarge pixels; it generates a larger picture that is consistent with the small one. That distinction explains both why the results look so much better than a bicubic resize and why they should not be treated as recovered information. Where the original frame implies texture — pores, weave, foliage, grain — the reconstruction is convincing and genuinely useful. Where it implies nothing, because the detail was never captured, the model supplies a plausible invention.
Matching the model to the material is the decision that changes results most. Photographic upscalers are trained to keep the qualities that make a photograph read as one, including a degree of noise; used on a flat vector-style illustration they add texture that has no business being there. Crisp upscalers do the opposite: excellent on lettering, icons, and hard edges, and unkind to skin. When in doubt, run both on one image and compare at full size — it costs a few credits and settles the question permanently for that kind of asset.
Multiplier is a smaller decision than people expect. Going 2x twice is not the same as going 4x once, and it is usually worse, because the second pass upscales the first pass's inventions. Pick the target you actually need and get there in one step.
Finally, upscale late. Any editing, colour work, or cropping is faster and safer at the original size, and doing it afterwards partly undoes the benefit. Treat the upscale as the last step before delivery, in exactly the same way you would for video.
Image upscaling FAQ
- How much bigger can I go?
- Typically 2x or 4x, depending on the model and the source size. The available targets are shown before you submit.
- Which model should I use?
- Photographic material to a photo upscaler, flat art and lettering to a crisp one. If the image mixes both, run each and pick on the detail that matters most in the final use.
- Will it make blurry pictures sharp?
- Mild softness improves. A picture that was genuinely out of focus does not come back, because the detail was never recorded.
- Does it change the aspect ratio?
- No. Upscaling multiplies both dimensions; use the image editor to reframe or extend a picture.
- Is it free?
- Yes, within your free credits, from the same balance as image and video generation.
