Upscale

Edited

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:

  1. Tap the Upscale icon

  2. 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

  • – High-quality upgrade for large displays or print

  • – Maximum detail for professional or large-format use (may exceed limits)

  • – 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
