It improves color, detail, text rendering, and photorealism. Like our other models, Ideogram Upscale is trained from scratch with our proprietary Generative AI technology. Upscale increases resolution by a factor of **2X** and can rectify artifacts in the original image. You can enhance existing Ideogram images. **Plus and Pro** members can also upload their own images, including AI-generated images from other platforms, and enhance their detail and resolution. ## Controls Upscale lets you control the trade-off between resemblance to the input and newly introduced detail: - **Resemblance:** Controls similarity to the input image. - **Detail:** Adjusts the level of creative enhancement. - **Prompting:** Describes the desired content and style. ## Examples The examples below are demonstrations of original and upscaled images. Each pair shows the settings used for the upscaled result. ### Futuristic portrait with “ENHANCE” sign **Original image** ![Original Ideogram image of a bald man in a futuristic chair holding a sign reading “ENHANCE”](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/5510424f4e155036.webp) **Upscaled image — Resemblance 50/100, Detail 50/100** ![Upscaled demonstration of the futuristic portrait with the “ENHANCE” sign](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/07e544695b72e237.webp) ### Outdoor market with a cat carrying a fish **Original image** ![Original demonstration image of a cat carrying a fish through an outdoor market](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/6347a6ac55e5cc8c.webp) **Upscaled image — Resemblance 50/100, Detail 80/100** ![Upscaled demonstration of the cat carrying a fish through an outdoor market](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/f45a0079d7ea6669.webp) ### Woman behind a rain-spattered window **Original image** ![Original demonstration image of a woman behind a glass window with water droplets](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/ec9f2a59198a44bd.webp) **Upscaled image — Resemblance 30/100, Detail 70/100** ![Upscaled demonstration of the woman behind a rain-spattered window](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/48804e2ec9ca413a.webp) ### Papercut greeting card **Original image** ![Original papercut greeting-card demonstration with flowers and the text “Helping everyone become more creative”](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/b20bddd1beef2859.webp) **Upscaled image — Resemblance 50/100, Detail 50/100** ![Upscaled papercut greeting-card demonstration](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/19b3792bf1553ab0.webp) ### Anime family portrait **Original image** ![Original anime family portrait demonstration](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/6d91191a02df5b86.webp) **Upscaled image — Resemblance 40/100, Detail 70/100** ![Upscaled anime family portrait demonstration](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/4cdb4b15c3ae5fd2.webp) ### Spaghetti with pesto **Original image** ![Original food-photography demonstration of spaghetti with pesto](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/b4edd0a8f92d204b.webp) **Upscaled image — Resemblance 20/100, Detail 80/100** ![Upscaled food-photography demonstration of spaghetti with pesto](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/9880a8906c365ccf.webp) ## Try it out Upscale is available on our **Basic, Plus, and Pro** plans.
