Use with these models
Nano Banana 2
Nano Banana 2 keeps the speed of the base model but adds a quality dial — preview at 1K, sign off at 2K, ship at 4K. The detail in faces, hands, and material textures survives the upscale.
GPT Image 2
GPT Image 2 takes a long brief and gives back a finished image with the type set right, the references locked, and the world it depicts true to life — what diffusion-only models still get wrong.

Frequently asked questions
What does an AI image upscaler do?
It increases image resolution while rebuilding edges, texture, and small details that normal resizing usually blurs. Creators use it to turn small web images, AI drafts, product photos, portraits, scans, and social assets into sharper files for web, print, or further editing.
Which scale should I choose: 2x, 4x, or 8x?
Choose 2x for light cleanup, 4x for most product, portrait, and web-to-hero uses, and 8x when the source is small and you need a much larger output. Very aggressive scaling can reveal artifacts, so start with 4x when you are unsure.
Can it fix blurry or damaged photos?
It can improve many low-resolution, compressed, or slightly blurry images, but it cannot recover details that are completely missing. Old scans, thumbnails, and AI generations often improve well; heavy motion blur, severe noise, or tiny faces may still need restoration or manual retouching.
When should I enable face enhancement?
Use face enhancement for portraits, profile photos, group images, and people in product or lifestyle shots. Turn it off for illustrations, product-only photos, screenshots, typography, logos, or images where you want to preserve the original face texture exactly.
What images work best?
Upload the highest-quality version you have, with the subject in focus and not overly compressed. Product photos, portraits, AI-generated art, real estate images, old scans, and social media assets are good candidates. Screenshots with tiny text may sharpen, but text accuracy is not guaranteed.
Which file formats are supported?
Use a supported image under the upload limit shown in the tool. JPG, PNG, and WebP are the safest choices for most workflows.
Can I use upscaled images commercially?
You can use the upscaled output commercially when you have the rights to the original image and any visible brands, people, products, or artwork. Upscaling improves quality, but it does not change the licensing status of the source image.
