Frequently Asked Questions

How does AI upscaling work?
Our AI doesn't just make images bigger — it intelligently reconstructs detail. It removes noise, fixes compression artifacts, and adds realistic detail that wasn't visible in the original. The result looks like it was shot at high resolution, not stretched.
What's the maximum upscale size?
Up to 28× the original resolution. A 512px image can become a print-ready 14,000+ pixel file. Most users find 4×–8× handles their needs, but large-format print and billboard work can go higher.
Can I upscale any image?
Any image. Old family photos, client files, web downloads, scanned documents, screenshots, legacy product shots, compressed JPEGs, vintage prints — if it's an image, we can enhance it.
Can I upscale video too?
Yes. Upload video clips and AI will enhance resolution and detail frame by frame. Same technology, same quality — applied to motion.
What file formats are supported?
Images: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF. Video: MP4, MOV, WebM, and more. Output up to 8K resolution for images and 4K for video.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Start with 5 free image upscales — enough to see the quality for yourself. No credit card required. Upgrade anytime for more upscales and higher resolutions.
Can I use the results commercially?
Yes. Everything you upscale or generate is yours to use commercially. Full ownership, no royalties, no restrictions.
How does pricing work?
Credits power all operations. Each plan includes monthly credits. Simple upscales cost 1–2 credits, larger scales cost more. Plans start at $9/month. You can also purchase additional credit packs any time.
How is Upscale Forge different from Topaz, Let's Enhance, or Adobe's tools?
Upscale Forge combines professional upscaling with a full AI creative suite — image generation, video generation, 3D, audio, and more — all in one platform. Instead of paying separately for an upscaler, an image generator, and a video tool, you get everything for one monthly credit allowance.
