What happens if you don't upscale
Stop sending soft, JPEG-noisy files to clients.
Stop losing the listing photo to compression.
Stop watching a scanned memory blur on the family TV.
You shouldn't have to re-shoot, redraw, or re-license a photo
just because the file is too small.
Every creator has a folder of files that don't quite scale. We built UpRes around 18 AI models because no single model wins on every image — portraits, illustrations, landscapes, and video each have a specialist. We pick the right one for what you uploaded.

Real results from the people who use UpRes every week.
“The portrait restoration model is uncanny — I fed it a 480p scan from 1987 and got something I can actually print at A3.”
“I use the Magnific alternative every week for product shots. Way faster than the original, and the price delta is embarrassing.”
“The REST API let me plug 4K upscaling into our post-production pipeline in an afternoon. Batch jobs just work.”
Why we built UpRes
Every creator has at least one image too small to deliver. A scanned print at 480 × 640. A drone clip from a phone three years ago. A product shot exported at the wrong size. The work itself is fine — the pixels just aren't there. So you re-shoot, or you redraw, or you ship something soft and hope nobody notices.
That's the wrong tax on creativity. The pixel ceiling shouldn't decide whether your work looks finished.
UpRes is a hosted AI upscaler with 18 specialist models — one for portraits, one for illustrations, one for landscapes, one for video. You upload, we recommend the model that fits your image, and you download a 4K or 8K version in under a minute. No installs, no GPU rental, no token math. Free tier forever, Pro from $19 a month, a public REST API on Business, and a $0.002-per-image PAYG rate for people running batch pipelines. It's the upscaler we wanted to exist when we kept hitting the resolution ceiling ourselves.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you start.
What image formats are supported?
We accept JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC for images. For video, we support MP4, MOV, MKV, and WebM. Output format is configurable per model (JPEG, PNG, or WebP for images; MP4/MOV for video).
What is the maximum file size I can upload?
Uploads use the tus resumable protocol so large files are safe. Image uploads support up to 50MB. Video uploads support up to 2GB. Chunked upload means a lost connection never requires restarting from scratch.
Will free-tier results have a watermark?
Yes. Free tier results include a small UpRes watermark in the corner. Pro and Business plans produce clean, watermark-free outputs. Pay-as-you-go credits also produce clean results.
How long does upscaling take?
Most image jobs complete in 5–30 seconds depending on the model and input size. Video jobs take longer — roughly 1–5x the video duration. Business plan users get priority queue access for faster processing.
Can I use results commercially?
Pro, Business, and PAYG plans include a commercial license. Free tier is for personal and evaluation use only.
Is there an API for bulk processing?
API access is included on the Business plan. It exposes the same job queue — POST your file URL and model, poll for results. API docs will be published at launch.
How are credits calculated for PAYG?
Credits map 1:1 to model cost. Real-ESRGAN costs $0.0024/image; Ultimate Image Upscaler costs $0.01/image. You buy a credit bundle and jobs deduct from it. Any unused credits roll over permanently.
What happens to my uploaded files?
Uploads are stored in encrypted S3 storage. Original files are deleted 24 hours after job completion. Result files are available for download for 7 days. We do not use your media to train models.
