Creative Enhancement with Creative Upscale

Go further than standard precise upscaling. Creative Upscale (Flux or Stable Diffusion) not only increases resolution but creatively regenerates your image with ultra-high quality. It excels at enhancing complex scenes, including text, hands, and intricate patterns, and can produce hyper-realistic skin textures, offering more versatility than traditional upscalers.

Modern Cloud-Based Alternative to Topaz Gigapixel AI Desktop Software

Topaz Gigapixel AI earned its reputation as a professional desktop upscaling solution, delivering excellent faithful enlargement for photographers and designers. However, the desktop software model presents limitations in today's cloud-connected workflows: it requires powerful local hardware, ties you to specific computers, demands regular software updates, and lacks integrated creative tools beyond upscaling. Upsampler reimagines professional image enhancement for the modern era with cloud-based processing accessible from any device including desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. No hardware requirements mean you can upscale images on a basic Chromebook or older computer, perfect for remote work, travel, or multi-device workflows. Beyond matching Topaz's faithful upscaling with our Precise mode, Upsampler adds creative enhancement capabilities: Creative Upscale (Flux or Stable Diffusion) regenerates images for improved realism and artifact correction, Creative Upscale (Flux or Stable Diffusion) adds surface texture perfect for product photography, and integrated tools like generative fill, image generation, and restoration create comprehensive workflows impossible with standalone desktop software. The platform serves photographers migrating to cloud workflows, design teams collaborating remotely, e-commerce businesses processing product catalogs, and anyone seeking professional AI upscaling without desktop software limitations. Whether you're evaluating alternatives to Topaz's $99 purchase or exploring AI upscaling for the first time, Upsampler delivers modern, flexible image enhancement that evolves with professional needs.
