How to upscale an image with AI

How do I upscale an image with AI?

Run the finished image through an AI upscaler. In OTOY Studio that is Topaz Image Upscale, usually the last node in an image workflow. Nano Banana Pro can also generate directly at up to 4K, which saves the extra step for new images.

The lowest-cost option here is Topaz Image Upscale, from 7 credits (€0.07) per run. Credits are OTOY Studio's currency: 1 credit = €0.01. Prices are list prices before plan discounts (paid plans take 10% to 25% off every run). Every model is on every plan, including Free.

How to do it in OTOY Studio

  1. Connect the image to a Topaz Image Upscale node.
  2. Run it. The upscaled image is a new output and the original stays on the canvas.
  3. Download it, or use it as the first frame for a video model.
