AI Image Upscaler
Finishing-entry upscaling for covers, store measures and print. Detail rebuilt at delivery size, originals kept, 61 credits a job.
The finishing entry, at full size
Frames are produced at a working size. Some destinations demand more — a storefront minimum, a cover displayed large, a print. The image upscaler rebuilds a finished frame at higher resolution, reconstructing detail rather than stretching what is there. It runs on the image_upscaler model at 61 credits a job, shown before you confirm. In this directory it is filed last for a reason: it is a finishing entry, applied to keepers at the end of the process and to nothing else.
Upscaling a catalogue wholesale is the classic misfiling. The cost lands on frames nobody will ever view at size, while the one cover that needed it waits in the same queue. Work the directory in order — generate, cull, amend, carry — and let this entry close only the files that have earned closing.
The working rhythm
Finish everything else first
Edits, swaps and grading are done at working size, where every change is cheap and every mistake is small.
Upscale the final frame once
One pass over the delivery candidate. Judge the result at full size, not as a thumbnail — the thumbnail forgives everything.
Keep both files
The working file and the delivery file rest side by side. Platforms change their measures; your masters should not have to.
When the step earns its price
The frame everyone sees largest
Headings and pack fronts are looked at closely. They have earned the finishing pass; feed thumbnails have not.
Measures that must be met
Marketplaces with minimum dimensions receive files that pass plainly, without padding or tricks.
Paper is unforgiving
Posters and merchandise punish small files. Upscale the specific frames you sell in print, and only those.
Two filings, assessed
“The culled, amended cover frame, upscaled once to the storefront measure after every other decision was final.”
One pass, at the end, on a frame whose place in the listing was already settled. The 61 credits bought visible size and nothing else.
“A full draft set upscaled before culling, including frames later rejected for a drifting face.”
Resolution cannot repair identity. The spend belonged in regeneration and amendment, earlier in the directory.
What it does, and what it does not
| It does well | It cannot repair |
|---|---|
| Crispens edges, fabric and hair | A face that was wrong at working size |
| Meets a storefront’s minimum dimensions | Compression damage already baked into a source |
| Lets large previews and covers hold | Composition or light — those are the editor’s work, earlier |
How much does upscaling cost?
61 credits per job on the image_upscaler model, shown before you confirm. It is a finishing cost — spend it on keepers only.
Does it change my original?
No. The upscaled file is a delivery version. The working file rests as it was.
Will it repair a soft or flawed frame?
It sharpens what exists. It does not repair a wrong face, wrong hands or wrong light. Those are fixed earlier, with the editor.
Which frames deserve it?
Covers, headings, store files with dimension minimums, and anything sold in print. Ordinary feed frames rarely repay it.
How large should I go?
To the destination’s measure, and no further. Beyond it, credits and storage buy nothing visible.
