Upscale

upscale

Upscales Origin Images under under 0.25MB up to 4x of their original size while retaining image quality. Upscaling is achieved by using generative AI to improve the details of the image as we increase the image’s resolution.

Accepts a boolean value To upscale an image with Super Resolution, use upscale=true. The default value is false.

Limits

Super Resolution works with any Imgix compatible input image type, but there is a limit to the size of images that can be upscaled.

Input Size Limit

Images larger than 0.25MP (512x512) will be resized for Super Resolution processing. If an image exceeds this size (up to 1MP, or 1024x1024), it will be resized to <0.25MP so that it can be upscaled using Super Resolution. Any image that exceeds 1MP will not be upscaled.

Generative AI Expectations

Generative AI fills in the details of the image as the resolution increases, but it cannot turn a low-quality image into a high-quality one.

For example, if an image has illegible text or is pixelated, the AI may attempt to fill in the details of the text during upscaling, but the result may still be illegible.

Unsupported Input Formats

In addition to unsupported input formats, Super Resolution is not compatible with the following file-type formats:

  • Animated GIF
  • Animated WebP
  • Animated PNG
  • SVG
  • EPS

AI Composition

The Rendering API processes multiple AI transformations asynchronously and requires a few seconds to complete. When present, multiple AI transformations get rendered in this order:
