Demo summary

The creator demonstrates how to select an image, choose the 'Digital Art' model, and perform a 4x AI upscale on a vintage Harry Houdini poster.

Step-by-step

Click Select Image and upload your file
Select a model from the dropdown menu
Navigate to Settings to configure the output format
Set the Image Scale to 4x
Select an output folder for the saved file
Click the purple Upscale button

Options

Choose between Digital Art or other available AI models
Save images as PNG, JPEG, or WEBP
Scale images beyond 4x (resizing only)

Watch out for

Scaling above 4x only resizes the image and does not use AI upscaling to rerender details

Tips

Leave the upscale setting at 4x to ensure the tool takes advantage of the AI upscaling
Note that upscaling time depends on the size of your original image; larger images take longer to process

Highlights

“it's starting to work the upscale magic. It's going to take under a minute here for this to process. It's pretty quick.”
