The Illustration model keeps flat colour flat and line edges clean, where the Photo model would invent texture.
Tips
- Illustration for painterly or graphic styles, Photo for photoreal renders.
- 4× takes a 1024 image to 4096, enough for a 13-inch print.
- Leave denoise at zero on grainy styles so texture stays.
Worked example
What 4× does to three typical AI art sources, and the largest print each result makes at 300 DPI.
| Your image | Output at 4× | Megapixels | Print at 300 DPI |
|---|---|---|---|
| 512 × 512 | 2,048 × 2,048 | 4.2 | 6.8 × 6.8 in |
| 1,024 × 1,024 | 4,096 × 4,096 | 16.8 | 13.7 × 13.7 in |
| 2,048 × 2,048 | 8,192 × 8,192 | 67.1 | 27.3 × 27.3 in |
How to upscale images for AI art
- Open the upscaler and add your images, or a whole folder.
- Choose the Illustration model and 4×.
- Set denoise to about 0 so texture and grain stay.
- Export PNG and download the batch.
Questions
What scale should I use for AI art?
4× is the usual answer for people printing Midjourney, DALL-E or Stable Diffusion images. Use the smallest scale that reaches the size you need, since bigger outputs take longer and fill more disk.
Which model is best for AI art?
Illustration. The Illustration model keeps flat colour flat and line edges clean, where the Photo model would invent texture.
Is 4× free?
4× runs on your device too, so nothing uploads, and needs the Pro plan.
Do my images upload?
No. At 4× the model runs in your browser, so the files stay on your device.
