AI Upscaler

What the Upscaler does

Upscaler enlarges your image and fixes common defects (softness, minor noise, low micro-detail). You can prioritize speed & price, maximum realism, or face preservation so identity never drifts. Every result can be sent on to Face Swap, Carousel, Video, or straight to Publishing.

Modes

Basic — Fast, detailed, may change face

• Enlarges, cleans up, and adds detail quickly.
• Cheapest option; great for drafts, carousels, and bulk batches.
• Face may change slightly (no face tracking).
• 4MP and 8MP variants available.
• Use when: you need speed and don’t care if the face shifts a bit.
• Avoid if: identity must remain identical.

Basic Safe Face — Fast, detailed, face unchanged

• Same speed class as Basic, but tracks the face and keeps it intact.
• 4MP and 8MP variants available.
• Use when: you want quick upscales and must preserve identity.
• Avoid if: you want the very highest realism (see Premium).

Premium Realism — High detail & realism, may change face

• Best overall fidelity: richer skin, fabric, edges, and lighting.
• Slower and more expensive than Basic. No face tracking, so the face can change.
• 4MP and 8MP variants available.
• Use when: you want the prettiest possible image, and identity isn’t critical.
• Avoid if: the face must be identical → use Premium Safe Face.

Premium Safe Face — High detail & realism, face unchanged

• Premium quality with face preservation.
• Slower and pricier than Basic Safe Face.
• 4MP and 8MP variants available.
• Use when: you need top-tier realism and zero face drift.
• Avoid if: you only need quick, social-ready results.

Sharp Keep — Sharper image, minimal changes

• Boosts crispness with near-zero alterations everywhere (not just the face).
• 8MP only.
• Use when: product shots, e-commerce, labels, fabrics — nothing should change, just look sharper.
• Avoid if: you want added texture or heavy restoration.

Textured Boost — Adds realistic texture & depth

• Enhances pores, hair, fabric, and surfaces for a natural, tactile feel.
• 8MP only.
• Use when: beauty/fashion, portraits, or scenes that feel too “plastic” after generation.
• Avoid if: the brief requires minimal change (then use Sharp Keep).

4MP vs 8MP — which output?

• 4MP: faster, cheaper, perfect for most social feed posts and quick approval loops.
• 8MP: slower, larger file, better for cropping, hero images, printing, or thumbnails/covers that must stay crisp.

Recommended choices by scenario

• Lock the same face, publish fast: Basic Safe Face (4MP or 8MP)
• Top quality and identity preserved: Premium Safe Face (8MP)
• Best look, identity not critical: Premium Realism (8MP)
• E-com & product accuracy: Sharp Keep (8MP)
• Portraits that feel flat/plastic: Textured Boost (8MP)

Power option: Upscale + Face Swap (combined flow)

If you already know which face you’ll use, the Upscale + Face Swap flow upscales and locks the face in one pass. It’s our near-best default for most pipelines because you get:

• Finished, publish-ready images with the correct identity,
• Fewer clicks and less back-and-forth between tools,
• Consistent looks across a whole batch.

Pro tips

• Identity matters? Always choose a Safe Face mode or the combined Upscale + Face Swap flow.
• Need strict accuracy? Use Sharp Keep to avoid altering patterns, labels, or product geometry.
• Batch wisely: Upscale selects first; don’t upscale everything — save credits for winners.

FAQ

Will upscaling change the face?

• Basic and Premium Realism can change faces.
• Basic Safe Face and Premium Safe Face keep the face unchanged.
• Sharp Keep barely changes anything (face included).

Which mode is the best overall? There’s no single “best,” but for most pro workflows: Premium Safe Face (8MP) for finals, Basic Safe Face (4MP) for fast previews, and Textured when portraits need more life.

Can I run it on results from any tool? Yes — send images from Face Gen, Prompt, Reference, PhotoShoot, Carousel, or uploads.
