Freepik API uses Magnific.ai technology, now available as a comprehensive API service.

Precision mode focuses on faithful super‑resolution without hallucinations—best choice when preserving content is critical.
The Freepik Upscaler Precision focuses on faithful, high-fidelity upscaling. It increases resolution while preserving the original content, texture, and structure of the image. Unlike creative upscaling, Precision prioritizes clarity, sharpness, and detail recovery without inventing new elements. Looking for stylized or prompt‑guided enhancement? See Upscaler Creative. With advanced super-resolution techniques, Upscaler Precision:
  • 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

The cost per image upscale is based on the output image area in pixels. This depends on two key factors:
  • The dimensions of the input image
  • The upscale factor applied (e.g.: 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x)
The larger the output image area, the higher the cost per upscale. Our pricing tiers are applied based on the final output size, so you have complete transparency and control over your usage.Some examples:

The pricing structure ensures that you only pay for the level of upscaling you need.
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.
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.
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.
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.
