🔍 About Upscaling

Need a larger image for printing or professional use? Use our upscale feature:

  • 2x upscale: Currently available (e.g., 1024x1024 → 2048x2048)
  • 4x & 8x: Coming soon in future versions
  • Print size calculator: See estimated print dimensions at 300 DPI
💡 Pro Tip: Upscaling takes additional processing time (~30 seconds). Only upscale when you need high-resolution output for printing or professional projects.
