Upscaler Precision
Magnific Upscaler API – Precision Mode
Upscaler Precision: high-fidelity image upscaling that preserves original content, enhances fine details, and reduces noise and artifacts without adding new elements.
Freepik API uses Magnific.ai technology, now available as a comprehensive API service.
- Preserves edges and fine details while minimizing halos
- Reduces noise and compression artifacts
- Maintains color consistency and natural look
- Enhances readability for small text and UI elements
Use cases (Precision)
Upscaler Precision is ideal when you need quality improvements without altering the content:- E‑commerce product photos: sharpen edges, remove artifacts, preserve true colors
- Branding and logos: upscale raster logos and icons with crisp lines
- UI assets and screenshots: improve sharpness while keeping pixel-accurate layouts
- Photography restoration and scans: reduce noise and recover fine detail
- Technical diagrams and architectural drawings: preserve thin lines and text
- Social media and web images: upscale for higher-DPI displays without distortion

How much does the Magnific Upscaler cost?
How much does the Magnific Upscaler cost?
The cost per image upscale is based on the output image area in pixels. This depends on two key factors:
The pricing structure ensures that you only pay for the level of upscaling you need.
- The dimensions of the input image
- The upscale factor applied (e.g.: 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x)
| Input Size | Output Size | Upscale Factor | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 640x480 | 1280x960 | 2x | €0.10 |
| 640x480 | 2560x1920 | 4x | €0.40 |
| 640x480 | 5120x3840 | 8x | €1.60 |
| 1280x720 | 2560x1440 | 2x | €0.10 |
| 1280x720 | 5120x2880 | 4x | €0.40 |
| 1920x1080 | 3840x2160 | 2x | €0.20 |
| 5000x5000 | 10000x10000 | 2x | €1.20 |
What’s the difference between Upscaler Precision and Upscaler Creative?
What’s the difference between Upscaler Precision and Upscaler Creative?
Precision preserves the original content and improves clarity, detail, and sharpness without inventing new elements. It is ideal for logos, UI assets, product photos, scans, and technical diagrams.Creative can introduce or infer new visual details guided by prompts or context. It is better for artistic enhancement, stylization, or imaginative detail addition.
When should I choose Precision over Creative?
When should I choose Precision over Creative?
Choose Precision when fidelity is critical: brand consistency, readable text, pixel-accurate UI, and product authenticity. Choose Creative when you want stylistic enhancements or new visual elements.
What file formats and sizes work best?
What file formats and sizes work best?
Prefer PNG for graphics/logos and high-quality JPEG/PNG for photos. Avoid heavily compressed sources. For best results, use inputs large enough to contain the essential detail (e.g., at least 256–512 px on the shortest edge), then upscale 2x–4x.
Does Precision fix blurry text or small UI elements?
Does Precision fix blurry text or small UI elements?
Precision improves edge sharpness and micro-contrast, which can make small text and UI icons more legible. Extremely low-resolution or heavily blurred originals may still have limits.
Best practices for Upscaler Precision
Follow these recommendations to get the best, most faithful results:- Start from the highest-quality source you have (avoid heavy-compressed inputs).
- Prefer PNG or high-quality JPEG; keep artifacts minimal in the input.
- Choose moderate upscale factors first (2x–4x) to avoid amplifying noise; iterate if needed.
- Disable any creative prompts or stylization when fidelity is critical.
- For logos/UI, use crisp sources with strong contrast; avoid anti-aliased tiny originals.
- When upscaling scans, pre-trim borders and rotate/crop to the correct orientation.
- Compare results at 100% zoom to validate line sharpness and color consistency.
