Topaz Image Upscaler

Topaz Image Upscaler accepts one image and one scale factor on Kyeo AI. It does not read a prompt or change the subject or composition. The values 1, 2, 4, and 8 are width-and-height multipliers, not fixed 1K, 2K, 4K, or 8K outputs; the source longest edge multiplied by the factor must also stay within 20,000 pixels.

What it does best
Kyeo AI exposes this as a single-image upscaler, not a prompt-based editor. The request contains only an image URL and a factor, and every output still needs review.
Best for
It can be tested on product images, posters, social covers, scanned photos, and other existing assets that are too small. Text, people, and fine textures require close inspection.

At a glance

What is this model like?

This is a compact single-image enlargement workflow: upload a JPEG, PNG, or WebP, choose 1×, 2×, 4×, or 8×, then inspect the output dimensions and detail. Use it when the content is already correct and the remaining issue is pixel size. Choose an editing model first when the subject, text area, or composition must change.

Why use it on Kyeo AI
The page lists all four multipliers, their credit costs, the accepted formats, and the 20,000-pixel constraint so you can calculate the target dimensions before running a task.

Selection guide

Use these decision points when choosing a model.

1
Use it when the content is right but the image is too small

Confirm that the subject, composition, and text need no edits, then choose the lowest multiplier that reaches the target dimensions.

2
Choose an editor when the content must change

Use Flux Kontext Pro or GPT Image 1.5 for subject, text-area, or composition changes. Recraft Crisp Upscale is another option when you want to compare a fixed-cost single-image enhancement.

3
Calculate the dimensions before testing

Multiply the source dimensions by the selected factor and keep the longest edge within 20,000 pixels. Start with 1× or 2× to inspect text, edges, people, and texture; 4× and 8× cost more and merit closer artifact review.

Practical usage insights

Practical observations based on real creative workflows.

A scale factor is not a K-resolution target

An `upscale_factor=4` value multiplies both width and height by four; it does not promise a fixed 4K output. The result dimensions depend on the source, so the interface must not substitute 1K, 2K, 4K, or 8K labels.

Higher multipliers increase size, cost, and review work

Kyeo AI's cost rises from 5 to 40 credits with the selected factor. Choose against required dimensions instead of assuming the largest multiplier is best, and inspect every output for invented detail, text errors, and edge artifacts.

Capabilities

The request contains only an image and a factor

Kyeo AI sends the uploaded image URL and `upscale_factor` to `topaz/image-upscale`. There is no prompt field and no instruction for replacing subjects, rearranging the composition, or changing the style.

The input has strict file and dimension limits

Kyeo AI enforces the format and file-size rules but does not yet preflight the pixel product.

Credits follow the selected multiplier

The 1×, 2×, 4×, and 8× `upscale_factor` values cost 5, 10, 20, and 40 credits. The control sets a multiplier, not a quality grade or a guaranteed output resolution.

Use cases

Enlarge undersized product images or posters

When the content is approved and only pixel dimensions need to increase, calculate the factor against the target placement and review product details, text, and brand elements afterward.

Test older or recompressed assets at a larger size

Scans, screenshots, and secondary exports can be tested, but severely missing detail may not return reliably and new artifacts may appear.

Prepare larger files for covers, banners, or print layouts

Choose a factor from the required pixel dimensions, then inspect cropping, edges, and text in the actual result. A multiplier alone does not establish compliance with a platform or print specification.

Prompt tips

Inspect the source; there is no prompt to write

Kyeo AI does not send prompt text on this workflow. Check the source dimensions, compression, text, and faces before deciding whether enlargement is worthwhile.

Work backward from the required dimensions

For example, a 1,000-pixel-wide source becomes roughly 2,000 pixels wide at 2×; that is not a generic 2K preset. Use the lowest factor that meets the placement to avoid unnecessary cost and enlargement.

Review the output instead of treating upscaling as a repair guarantee

Compare the dimensions and inspect edges, repeating textures, people, text, and compression artifacts at full size. Correct content errors in an editing model before enlargement.

Strengths

Requires only one image and one scale-factor selection.
Maps 1×, 2×, 4×, and 8× directly to the four credit costs.
States the file type, file size, and longest-edge constraints explicitly.
Uses no prompt, so its input boundary is distinct from semantic editors.

Limitations

The integration does not accept prompt instructions or perform semantic edits.
Only one source image is supported, so it cannot combine multiple references.
When choosing 1×, 2×, 4×, or 8×, keep the source longest edge multiplied by the factor within 20,000 pixels.
Upscaling cannot correct a wrong composition or guarantee reliable detail from a severely blurred or compressed source.

Credit usage

5–40 credits / request

Kyeo AI charges by `upscale_factor`: 5 credits at 1×, 10 at 2×, 20 at 4×, and 40 at 8×.

Budget tip

Before batch generation, run an A/B test with the same assets across the current model and alternatives to validate quality and avoid wasting credits.

Recraft Crisp Upscale

Recraft Crisp Upscale is Kyeo's one-image clarity and resolution enhancement action. It accepts one JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 10 MB, exposes no scale, output-format, or other control, and costs a fixed 1 credit. Compare downloaded files to determine the actual dimensions, sharpening, and detail changes.

Flux Kontext Pro

Flux Kontext Pro provides prompt-only generation and one-image editing on Kyeo for a fixed 4 credits. Generation offers six aspect ratios. Uploading one image switches to editing, where Kyeo hides the ratio control and sends no ratio by default. The page also exposes JPEG or PNG, automatic translation, prompt enhancement, safety tolerance, and a watermark identifier.

GPT Image 1.5

GPT Image 1.5 supports generation and editing on Kyeo AI. Text-only requests use `gpt-image/1.5-text-to-image`; attaching references switches to `gpt-image/1.5-image-to-image`. Kyeo exposes 3 aspect ratios and `medium / high` tiers at 4 / 22 credits. OpenAI now marks GPT Image 1.5 as a deprecated previous model, so new work should also benchmark a current model such as GPT Image 2.
