FAQ
Is there an image upscaler API? Yes. Run this Actor via the Apify API or MCP to upscale images in bulk, an alternative to Topaz, Upscale.media or Let's Enhance APIs.
What is the maximum input size? Images are downscaled to 1 megapixel before upscaling by default (adjustable), so a 4x result is up to about 16 megapixels.
Which formats are supported? JPG, PNG, WebP and most other common formats as input; PNG, JPG or WebP as output. Transparency is kept for PNG and WebP.
Am I charged for failed images? No. You only pay for images that were upscaled and saved.
Can I use the results commercially? The model (Real-ESRGAN) is BSD-licensed. You need the rights to the images you upload.
Use it with Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents
- Add the Apify MCP server to your assistant (e.g. in Claude: Settings → Connectors → add
https://mcp.apify.com, then sign in with Apify). - Ask in plain language. The assistant finds this Actor, runs it and works with the results.
Or connect only this Actor: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=fast_data_asap/ai-image-upscaler
Example prompts:
- "Upscale these 10 product photos 4x and give me the download links."
- "Make this logo twice as large as a PNG with transparency: https://..."
You can also run it via the Apify API, on a schedule, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n and Google Sheets.
