What to do operation

Upscale

Upscale the image, remove its background, or both (the background is removed first, then the cut-out is upscaled).

Target size in megapixels targetMegapixels

1

Instead of a factor, size each result to about this many megapixels (keeping the aspect ratio), e.g. 2 for about 1632x1224 from a 4:3 photo. Leave empty to use the factor above. Images already larger than the target are not enlarged.

Image type upscaleModel

Illustration / anime

Photo: real-world photos, product shots and scans. Illustration: drawings, anime, cartoons, logos and other flat artwork (sharper lines, about twice as fast).

Default: Photo → this example uses Illustration / anime

Output format outputFormat

PNG

PNG is lossless and keeps transparency. WebP keeps transparency in a much smaller file. JPEG is smallest but has no transparency.
