Upscale images without losing detail

A bicubic resize makes an image larger; it doesn't make it sharper. Real upscaling reconstructs detail the camera didn't capture — within limits.

Where upscaling pays off

  • Print at sizes the source resolution can't reach
  • Restore old or compressed images for the web
  • Crop into a small subject without it falling apart

What the editor actually does

The model is trained to hallucinate plausible texture — skin, fabric, foliage, brick — rather than smooth everything into plastic. That trade-off matters: detail you didn't capture can't be recovered, only guessed at.

If you're coming from the cutout step, this is the natural follow-up:

And it's the third stop in the overall workflow:

Upscaling can't invent detail that wasn't there. It can make the detail you have look deliberate at larger sizes.
