# Turn small thumbnails into HD images

**Use case:** 

Only have 250 px thumbnails? Upscale them 4x to about 1000 px so they work as full-size images on a page or in a catalog. Send all the thumbnail URLs at once; each comes back with the upscaled URL, width and height.

## Input

```json
{
  "imageUrls": [
    "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/MnVYERh4Bm47trebR/records/tabby-250",
    "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/MnVYERh4Bm47trebR/records/ottawa_dog-250"
  ],
  "maxImagesPerItem": 1,
  "scale": "4",
  "outputFormat": "jpg",
  "maxOutputMegapixels": 16,
  "maxImages": 100
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "outputUrl": {
    "label": "Upscaled",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "inputUrl": {
    "label": "Input",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "width": {
    "label": "W",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "height": {
    "label": "H",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "factor": {
    "label": "Factor",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "status": {
    "label": "Status",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "error": {
    "label": "Error",
    "format": "string"
  }
}
```

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Image Upscaler API — Upscale Images 2x/4x, Pay per Image](https://apify.com/sherwood/image-upscaler-batch.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/sherwood/image-upscaler-batch.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## 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/sherwood/image-upscaler-batch.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`).
