Increase image resolution and size

Push images up to 4K resolution without softening detail. Recraft’s AI image upscaler is built for hero banners, product shots, and large-format print — drop in a small photo, get a print-ready file back. Need it press-ready? Export at 300 DPI and CMYK for direct hand-off to print platforms.

Enhance photo quality

The AI image enhancer recovers texture, sharpens edges, and cleans up compression artifacts as it upscales. Old photos, low-res screenshots, scanned artwork, and stock images come out usable for production — not just stretched.

Need more than upscaling?

Once the image is at full resolution, finish the rest on the same canvas. The AI photo editor handles backgrounds, object removal, prompt-based edits, vectorization, and format conversion — every editing tool in one place.

Need infinite scale? Use SVG

Pixel upscaling has a ceiling. Vector graphics don’t. Convert raster to clean SVG with the AI SVG converter, or create vector artwork from scratch with the AI vector generator — paths stay crisp at any size.

FAQ

What is an AI image upscaler?

An AI image upscaler increases the resolution of a photo or graphic while preserving detail. Instead of stretching pixels, it uses machine learning to reconstruct texture, sharpen edges, and clean up compression artifacts — so the larger version still looks crisp on a hero banner, product shot, or print layout.

Is Recraft's AI image upscaler free?

Yes. A free Recraft account includes up to 30 generations and edits per day, with no watermarks. For higher daily limits and commercial rights, see Recraft pricing.

How much can I upscale an image?

Recraft upscales up to 4K while keeping the image sharp. For a typical web photo, that means going from ~1000px to 4000px on the long edge — enough for a print-ready file or a high-resolution hero.

What file formats does the upscaler support?

Drag and drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP. The upscaled file lands in Recraft Studio, where you can export as PNG, JPG, TIFF, or PDF — or keep editing on the same canvas.

Does upscaling improve photo quality or just enlarge the image?

It improves quality. A simple resize stretches existing pixels and softens detail. Recraft’s AI image enhancer recovers texture, sharpens edges, and cleans up compression artifacts as it scales — so the larger output is usable for production, not just bigger.

Can I use upscaled images for print and commercial work?

Yes, on paid plans. Free accounts include up to 30 generations and edits per day with non-commercial use; paid plans add commercial rights and higher daily limits. Details on Recraft pricing.
