# Enlarge a transparent PNG graphic 4x

**Use case:** 

Enlarges a small image with a transparent background four times with a super-resolution model and returns a PNG that keeps the transparency, ready to place on a page or slide. Use it for product cut-outs, stickers and icons that are too small to use. Pay per input megapixel.

## Input

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-pillow/Pillow/262e8e48229197ef08792de41a6bdd94e42219a0/Tests/images/transparent.png"
  ],
  "scale": 4,
  "format": "png",
  "maxInputMegapixels": 2
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "url": {
    "label": "URL",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "ok": {
    "label": "OK",
    "format": "boolean"
  },
  "inputWidth": {
    "label": "Input width",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "inputHeight": {
    "label": "Input height",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "outputWidth": {
    "label": "Output width",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "outputHeight": {
    "label": "Output height",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "megapixelsCharged": {
    "label": "Megapixels charged",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "outputUrl": {
    "label": "Output URL",
    "format": "string"

## How it works

### 1. Sign up on Apify or log in

The Image Upscale ×2 / ×4 — CPU super-resolution Actor is ready to run with the inputs already set for "Enlarge a transparent PNG graphic 4x". [Sign up or log in](https://console.apify.com/create-task-from-example/I9vHA2iMcXu4Hcc15) and you'll land in Apify Console with a copy of this exact task.

### 2. Start the "Enlarge a transparent PNG graphic 4x" task

The Image Upscale ×2 / ×4 — CPU super-resolution Actor will start running based on the input automatically. You can also change all the input fields, like image urls, scale, and more, to match your specific use case.

### 3. Receive the "Enlarge a transparent PNG graphic 4x" output

Monitor the progress in real time. You will be notified as soon as your dataset is complete and ready for review. Each result includes data such as URL, OK, input width, and more.

### 4. Integrate into your workflow

The final output is delivered in JSON, CSV, or Excel format, ready to be plugged into your workflow. You can also [run the "Enlarge a transparent PNG graphic 4x" task via API](https://apify.com/hermeskd/image-upscale.md).

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Image Upscale ×2 / ×4 — CPU super-resolution](https://apify.com/hermeskd/image-upscale.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/hermeskd/image-upscale.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
