Worked example
What 4× does to three typical logos 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 logos
- 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 logos?
4× is the usual answer for small businesses that only have a small logo file. Use the smallest scale that reaches the size you need, since bigger outputs take longer and fill more disk.
Which model is best for logos?
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.
