What does an AI image upscaler do?
It makes an image 2× or 4× larger in width and height and rebuilds detail as it goes: edges, textures, hair, and small text, instead of just stretching the pixels. Made runs Topaz precision models on fal. You get a new JPG or PNG, and your original is never changed.
How much does it cost?
8 credits for any result up to 24 megapixels, 16 up to 48 MP, and so on. A photo up to 1,200 × 1,200 costs 8 credits at 4×, and a 12 MP phone photo costs 24 credits at 2×. The exact price shows on the button before you pay, failed upscales are refunded, and unused credits roll over.
Which mode should I pick?
Standard fits most photos. Low-res rescue is for small, blurry, or heavily compressed images like thumbnails, old scans, and screenshots of photos. High fidelity is for photos that are already sharp and need to be bigger, since it changes the least. Text & logos keeps labels, signs, packaging, and screenshots legible. Art & CGI is for illustrations, anime, 3D renders, and AI art.
Should I use 2× or 4×?
2× doubles the width and height, so the image has 4 times the pixels. 4× gives 16 times the pixels. Use 4× for small images and 2× for images that are already large. Results can be up to 100 megapixels and 16,384 pixels on a side, and the tool greys out any scale that won’t fit.
What does face recovery do?
It is a Topaz pass that restores eyes, skin, and hair in faces. It’s on by default and costs nothing extra. It can smooth very fine skin detail such as light freckles, so switch it off when you want faces to stay closer to the original.
Can it fix a blurry photo?
It sharpens soft, low-resolution, and compressed images well. It can’t recover detail the camera never captured, such as heavy motion blur or a missed focus. An upscaler predicts detail, so check faces, small text, and logos before you use the result.
Which files can I upload?
JPG, PNG, or WebP images up to 30 MB and at least 32 pixels on each side. You can also paste an image from your clipboard. Results download as JPG or PNG, whichever you pick.
How long does it take?
Most images finish in 15 to 30 seconds. Very large results take longer: a 69-megapixel result took about a minute and a half. You can leave the page, and the result waits in your history.
Can I upscale videos too?
Yes. Drop an MP4 or MOV here, or open the Video Upscaler. SeedVR2 upscales clips up to 20 seconds, 2× or 4×, up to 4K, and keeps your audio.
Can I upscale from code or an AI agent?
Yes. Call the Made API with the model topaz_upscale_image, the same one this page uses, or connect Made to your AI assistant over MCP. Pass a job ID as the source to upscale something you just generated.
Where do my upscales go?
Every result is saved to your history on this page and to your Made library, so you can download it again later.
