AI Image Upscaler
The finishing bench of the townhouse-doorway studio: locked frames rebuilt at the size their destination demands.
The image upscaler rebuilds a finished frame at a larger size, reconstructing detail — skin texture, fabric weave, hair strands — rather than merely stretching pixels. It is a finishing process, priced like one at 61 credits, and it belongs at the end of a frame life: after the render, after the edit, after the swap, when nothing about the picture will change again.
Used there, it is the difference between a frame that fills a feed and a frame that can carry a cover, a banner or a print. Used early, it is the most expensive way to enlarge a draft you are about to throw away. The bench rule in the townhouse-doorway studio is blunt: upscale only what is locked.
What reconstruction can and cannot do deserves plain words. It can infer plausible detail — the weave a fabric must have had, the strands hair resolves into — from a clean, well-exposed source. It cannot recover information the render never contained, and on a soft or noisy source it invents with confidence, which is worse. This is why the premium original you almost skipped becomes, at print time, the best money in the whole production.
How it works here
Lock the frame
Composition right, defects edited, face final. If any of those is still moving, finish it first.
Choose the target size
Match the destination: cover, banner, print. Bigger than the destination is credits spent on pixels nobody sees.
Upscale and proof
Price shown before the job runs. Proof at one hundred percent: hairline, hands and fabric are the honest witnesses.
Where it earns its keep
Hero frames at full bleed
The opener of a series, rebuilt to carry a page without softness.
Wide placements
Profile and gallery headers fed from a portrait original.
Physical copies
Creators who sell prints need resolution the generator does not natively give; this is the bench that gives it.
Example briefs
The locked opener
Series frame one: rendered, edited once for a prop colour, face checked. Upscaled last, printed clean.
The banner rescue
A favourite frame cropped wide for a header lost too many pixels; the upscaler rebuilt the crop to placement size.
Settings that matter
| Arrival state | Locked frames only — edits after upscaling throw the upscale away |
|---|---|
| Target size | The destination decides; oversizing buys nothing visible |
| Source quality | Clean sources reconstruct best; noisy drafts enlarge their noise |
| Price | 61 credits per job — a finishing price, budgeted like one |
Failure modes & fixes
- Waxy skin. Over-reconstruction on soft sources turns skin to wax. Fix: start from the sharpest render, prefer premium originals for print
- Invented detail. Busy textures gain patterns that were never there. Fix: proof fabric and jewellery at full size before publishing
- Upscaling a draft. The costliest failure is timing, not quality. Fix: the lock test — would you publish this frame today at small size?
- Double finishing. Upscaling an already upscaled frame compounds artefacts. Fix: always upscale from the best original, once
FAQ
What does an image upscale cost?
61 credits per job, shown before you confirm.
How large can it go?
Up to print-capable sizes for typical frames; the practical ceiling depends on the source, and the job screen states the target before pricing.
Should I upscale before editing?
No. Edit first, swap second, upscale last — finishing is the price of being done, and anything after it wastes it.
Can I upscale uploaded images?
Your own images, yes. Other adults images follow the consent rules that govern every photo bench here.
What if the job fails?
Failed jobs refund automatically to your balance.
