Krea 2

Upsampler's newest creative upscaler, built on Krea 2 Turbo — a model known for natural, photographic aesthetics that avoid the overprocessed AI look. Like the Flux upscaler it regenerates the image at higher resolution and can add plausible new detail, steered by a prompt, a creativity slider, and per-region creativity control. Only available on Upsampler.

Alternatives

Alternatives to Krea 2

Other models on Upsampler that cover similar ground.

Flux (upscale)

Upsampler's in-house creative upscaler powered by Flux. Adds plausible new detail at higher resolution rather than just enlarging existing pixels — the adjustable creativity slider lets you dial between faithful upscaling and aggressive detail enhancement. Built for AI-generated images, stylized work, and any upscale where the source benefits from a quality lift, not just a resolution lift. Only available on Upsampler.

Stable Diffusion (upscale)

Upsampler's custom Stable Diffusion-powered upscaler. Preserves the overall composition while regenerating fine detail — good for upscaling that should keep the source recognizable while filling in plausible texture and detail. A different aesthetic from the Flux upscaler; pick whichever style fits the source. Only available on Upsampler.

Seed VR 2 Large

The larger variant of ByteDance's SeedVR2 with higher fidelity for archival-grade outputs. Same source-preserving philosophy as the standard model — no creative reinterpretation, no invented detail — just better recovery of fine texture and edge sharpness for hero archival pieces.
