Scale needed from common sizes

How to upscale to 24 megapixels

Check your image size in pixels (Get Info on Mac, Properties on Windows, or drop it in the upscaler).
Find the scale in the table or type your size into the calculator.
Upscale with that scale. The smallest scale that reaches the target is the fastest. If the table says 4× then resize, the next step covers the rest.
Resize to exactly 6,000 × 4,000 with the resize tool.

Questions

How many pixels is 24 megapixels?

6,000 × 4,000, which is 24.0 megapixels in a 3:2 shape.

What scale takes a 1080p image to 24 megapixels?

4×. 1920 × 1080 becomes 7,680 × 4,320, then resize or crop to exactly 6,000 × 4,000.

Will an upscaled image look like a native 24 megapixels image?

It will look sharp at normal viewing distance, with clean edges and plausible texture. The model invents detail that fits, so tiny text or faces far from the camera will not match a true high-resolution original.

What if my image has a different shape?

Crop to 3:2 first with the crop tool, then upscale. Otherwise one side lands on the target and the other side overshoots or falls short.

Which scales are free?
