Upscale
Overview
Upscale increases the resolution and clarity of your images using AI, perfect for improving quality, preparing artwork for print, or making visuals sharper for high-resolution displays.
What Upscale Does
Enhances image sharpness, detail, and definition
Produces higher resolution versions of existing images
Keeps the original composition and subject intact
Ideal when the source image is blurry, low-resolution, or needs refinement
How to Upscale an Image
1. Open the Image You Want to Upscale
You can upscale:
A previously generated image from your gallery
An image you edited earlier
A new upload
Just locate the image in your Threads and click it to open.
2. Select Upscale
In the toolbar or homepage:
Tap the Upscale icon
The Upscale panel will open
3. Choose the Upscale Factor You Need
Select how much you want to increase the image resolution.
1.5× – Light enhancement for web and social use
2× – High-quality upgrade for large displays or print
3× – Maximum detail for professional or large-format use (may exceed limits)
4× – Extreme upscaling for very large outputs (may exceed limits)
Options that exceed the maximum supported resolution will be disabled.
Once selected, click Confirm to start upscaling.
4. Apply and Save
Once finished:
Use Export to save your high-resolution image
Or continue editing with other tools
Tips for Best Results
Start with the best source possible
Higher quality originals produce better upscales.
Upscale before heavy edits
If you plan to edit in detail, upscaling first often gives better final results.
Combine with other tools
After upscaling, use Adjust for color and tone
Use Crop for framing
Use Filter or Redux for stylistic variations
When to Use Upscale
Use Upscale when you need:
Sharper visuals for blurry pictures
High-resolution assets for web or portfolio
Clean, detailed images
Credits & Usage
Upscaling costs 5 credits per successful upscale.
Credits are only consumed if the upscale completes successfully; failed or interrupted attempts do not use credits.
Troubleshooting
My upscale looks soft or noisy
Try a higher quality setting
Upscaling improves clarity, but it can’t fully recover details that don’t exist. If the original image is very blurry or low quality, some softness or noise may remain.
It feels slow
Upscaling requires extra compute, and higher quality modes can take slightly longer
