In this tutorial, we’re going to take you through how to upscale images using Topaz Lab’s Gigapixel product. This product does have a one-time $99 fee, but we’ve picked it because it’s one of the best tools for upscaling images.
Why might you want to upscale images? And what even is upscaling?
Upscaling refers to enhancing the resolution and quality of media (typically images, videos, or audio) using AI models. Oftentimes, AI-generated images are smaller in resolution than a typical image. Using an upscaler helps to bring them to a higher resolution.
Outside of improving the resolution of AI-generated images, you can use upscaling to enlarge non-AI-generated images or improve textures and detail on your images.
