Why this Actor

	This Actor	Typical options
Price	$0.007 per image (up to 2 MP output)	$0.012–0.02 per image, or a monthly subscription
Bulk from scraper datasets	Yes, image fields detected automatically	Usually URLs only
Output control	Factor or target resolution, size cap, format	Fixed
Failed or rejected images	Free	Often charged

How it works

1. Add image URLs, or pick datasets produced by other Actors (product, listing or social media scrapers).
2. Choose 2x/3x/4x or a target resolution (e.g. 4K).
3. Each image is upscaled with SeedVR2 and saved in your run's storage; you get a public link per image.

Real runs

Input	Setting	Output	Time
412×412 PNG	Target 4K, WebP	2160×2160 (4.7 MP)	6.6 s
288×288 logo PNG	4x	1152×1152	2.5 s
Instagram images from a scraper dataset, 828×1472	2x	1664×2944 (4.9 MP)	7.5 s each, in parallel

Use cases

• E-commerce: sharpen supplier and marketplace product photos before importing them to your store.
• Creators: upscale thumbnails, covers and screenshots to HD/4K.
• Real estate and travel: enhance listing photos at scale.
• Archives: restore small or compressed images.
• Automations: n8n, Make, Zapier, the Apify API or MCP — send URLs, receive upscaled images.

Output (one record per image)

Field	Meaning
outputUrl	Link to the upscaled image in your Apify storage
source	The original image URL
inputWidth/Height, outputWidth/Height, outputMegapixels, scale	Sizes before and after
format, bytes	Output file
status, error	ok or error (with the reason; not charged)

Pricing (pay per event)

Event	Free plan	Paid plans
image-upscaled — one image, output up to 2 megapixels	$0.007	down to $0.0055
extra-megapixel — each started megapixel above 2 MP	$0.0025	$0.0025
image-upscaled-byok — one image of any size with your own fal.ai key	$0.003	down to $0.0025

Examples (free plan): 800×600 → 2x (1.9 MP) = $0.007 · 1000×1000 → 2x (4 MP) = $0.007 + 2 × $0.0025 = $0.012 · 1920×1080 → 4K (8.3 MP) = $0.007 + 7 × $0.0025 = $0.0245. Never charged: images that cannot be downloaded, unsupported files and images rejected by the safety checker. Without your own key, free-plan Apify accounts can upscale up to 4 images per run (add your own fal.ai key or upgrade for bulk).

FAQ

Which model? SeedVR2, a diffusion-based restoration model that reconstructs fine detail (text, textures, faces) better than classic upscalers.

Are my images stored? Originals are processed in memory and sent to fal.ai for GPU processing; results are saved in your own Apify storage.

Limits? Input up to 25 MB; output up to 36 megapixels (default cap 16 MP — the factor is reduced automatically for very large inputs; images already at the cap are skipped for free). Images over 8 MB are passed to the GPU by URL, so the host must allow downloads.

Content rules? A safety checker is on. Only upscale images you have the right to use.
