Topaz upscaling
Make images up to 8x larger and video up to 4x, without a prompt
What is Topaz upscaling?
Topaz Labs makes upscaling models: they turn a small picture or clip into a larger, sharper one. Cinemagiq runs three of them. Topaz Standard is a faithful upscale that keeps the picture as it is. Topaz Creative adds generated detail as it enlarges. Topaz Proteus upscales video.
Image upscales go 2x, 4x, 6x or 8x, up to 32,000 pixels on a side and 100 megapixels. Video upscales go 2x or 4x, up to 4096 pixels on a side. None of them needs a prompt: you pick the image or clip, the tier and the size, and the price follows the size of the result.
Upscale at the end, not at the start. Generate and review at the size the model makes, pick the takes that survive, then upscale those for delivery. Use Standard when the picture must not change, Creative when a soft generation needs crisper texture, and Proteus to bring a 720p or 1080p clip up for a larger screen.
Topaz upscaling examples
Made in Cinemagiq. Each detail is cut from the same spot of the source and the result, so you can compare them.
The source: a 1536 x 864 picture from GPT Image 2.5. This detail is enlarged here only for comparison.
Topaz Standard at 4x: the same detail from the 6144 x 3456 result. Faithful to the source, with sharper skin, hair and metal.
Topaz Creative at 2x: the same detail from the 3072 x 1728 result. It adds generated detail, and here it changes the face a little: check faces after a Creative upscale.
A frame of a 1280 x 720 Kling 4.0 clip, detail enlarged for comparison.
The same frame after Topaz Proteus at 2x: 2560 x 1440, with cleaner lines and edges.
