Topaz Labs image upscaler
Topaz Upscale — Upscale Images Online, 2x or 4x
The industry-standard Topaz Labs upscaler in your browser: real detail recovery at 2x and 4x, no install.
Topaz Upscale lets you upscale images online using Topaz Labs’ AI enlargement technology, the same company behind Gigapixel, the tool photo studios have used for years. Upload a photo, choose 2x or 4x, and download a larger version with recovered detail rather than blur. No desktop software, no subscription to Topaz itself: 50 credits for a 2x upscale, 100 for 4x, on any Premium or Pro plan.
What is Topaz Upscale?
Topaz Labs is the reference name in AI upscaling. Its models do not just stretch pixels; they reconstruct plausible detail that matches the surrounding area, which is why studios use Gigapixel for print enlargements and archive restoration.
Topaz Upscale here is that technology as a one-click web tool. It is a utility, not a generator: it takes exactly one input image and needs no prompt. Whatever aspect ratio you upload is what you get back, at twice or four times the linear resolution.
The natural pairing is with the cheap 1K models in this catalog. Generate drafts on Z-Image at 5 credits or Grok Imagine at 20, pick the winner, and upscale it 4x for print or large displays. That workflow costs a fraction of generating natively at 4K with a flagship model.
It also works on your own photos: old scans, small web images, and phone crops all benefit from real detail recovery. The before/after below shows the same crop of one image at the original size and after a 2x pass.
Topaz Upscale features
Real detail recovery
Topaz reconstructs detail that matches the image instead of blurring pixels larger. The difference shows in fabric, hair, and edges.
2x and 4x factors
Double the resolution for 50 credits or quadruple it for 100. A 1K image becomes 4K in one step.
No prompt, no settings
Upload, pick the factor, done. The output keeps your image’s aspect ratio and content exactly.
Works on any image
AI generations, phone photos, old scans, small web images: anything you can upload, it can enlarge.
Topaz Upscale: before and after
Both crops show the same region of one product photo at the same display size. The left crop is from the original 1K image; the right is from the Topaz 2x upscale. The difference is recovered edge and texture detail, not sharpening.

Topaz Upscale FAQ
How do I upscale an image online with Topaz Upscale?
Upload the image in the Create studio with Topaz Upscale selected, choose 2x (50 credits) or 4x (100 credits), and generate. The enlarged image appears in your library like any other generation.
What is Topaz Upscale?
Topaz Upscale is Topaz Labs’ AI enlargement technology offered as a web tool on Nano Banana AI. Topaz Labs makes Gigapixel, the industry-standard upscaler used by photo studios. Here it runs in the browser with no install.
Is Topaz Upscale free?
No. Nano Banana AI has no free tier. Topaz Upscale is on Premium ($19.99/month, about 80 upscales at 2x) and Pro ($29.99/month, about 200 at 2x or 100 at 4x).
Does upscaling actually add detail?
It reconstructs detail: the AI generates new pixels that plausibly match the surrounding image, which reads as sharpness rather than blur. It cannot recover information that was never there, like an unreadable license plate.
Can I upscale AI-generated images?
Yes, that is the core workflow here: generate at 1K with a cheap model like Z-Image (5 credits) or Grok Imagine (20), then upscale the keeper 4x for 100 credits. Total cost is far below native 4K generation on a flagship model.
Can I upscale my own photos?
Yes. Phone photos, scans, and small web images all work. Upload the file as the input image and pick a factor.
What is the difference between the 2x and 4x options?
2x doubles width and height (a 1024 px image becomes 2048 px) for 50 credits on Premium or Pro. 4x quadruples them (1024 px becomes 4096 px) for 100 credits and needs the Pro plan.
Do I write a prompt for Topaz Upscale?
No. It is a promptless utility: the input image and the factor are the only inputs. Any prompt text is ignored.
