Upscale Image

Upscale AI Art for Print

Most AI images come out around 1 to 2 megapixels, which looks fine on a phone and soft on a poster. Upscale the file here before you send it to print.

(02)Tips

Get better results

  • Work out the pixels you need first: print width in inches times 300 for prints viewed up close. Wall posters seen from a distance can get away with less.
  • Clarity adds new fine detail, which suits illustrations and AI art. Topaz stays closer to the original, which suits photos and faces.
  • Fix problems before you upscale. An upscaler makes a bad hand bigger, not better.
  • The price depends on the output size, so don't pick a bigger factor than your print needs.

Models you can pick

  • Clarity Upscaler
  • Topaz Upscale

FAQ

Upscale Image questions

The things people usually ask before their first generation. Anything else? Ask us.

  • The default is 2x. Clarity Upscaler goes up to 4x and Topaz Upscale up to 6x, in half steps.

  • Clarity for AI art and illustration when you want extra texture, Topaz for photos when you want the result to stay faithful to the original.

  • Upscales are priced by the size of the output image, so a 4x upscale costs more than a 2x upscale of the same file. The studio shows the credit estimate before you generate.

  • Browsing is free. Upscaling needs a paid plan and spends credits from it.
