What to do operation

Upscale

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

Upscale factor scale

4x

How much larger the result is in each direction: 2x turns 500x375 into 1000x750, 4x into 2000x1500. The aspect ratio is always kept. Results are kept within 32 megapixels per image (the size a stored file and a 4 GB run can hold), so very large sources are enlarged less and the row's note says so.

Default: 2x → this example uses 4x

Image type upscaleModel

Photo

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

Noise and JPEG artifact removal denoise

Low: keep grain and texture

For photos: how strongly noise and compression artifacts are smoothed while upscaling. Low keeps fine grain and texture, high gives the cleanest result on noisy or heavily compressed images.

Default: Medium → this example uses Low: keep grain and texture

Output format outputFormat

WebP

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

Default: PNG → this example uses WebP

WebP / JPEG quality quality

85

1 to 100. Higher is sharper and larger. PNG ignores it.

Default: 90 → this example uses 85

What it costs

You pay for the events the actor reports, such as each result or page it produces. Platform usage is included in the event prices: compute, proxies, browser and storage cost nothing extra.

• Image upscaledfrom $0.0102One image upscaled and saved, for source images up to 2 megapixels; larger sources count one more per started 2 megapixels. Failed images are free.
• Background removedfrom $0.00595One image with its background removed and saved (transparent, coloured or cropped cut-out, with the optional mask). Failed images are free.

Other ways to run Image Upscaler & Background Remover

• Remove backgrounds (transparent PNG + mask)Cut the subject out of each photo as a transparent PNG and also save its black-and-white mask.
• Product shots on white, cropped and 2xProducts cut out, put on a white background, cropped tight with padding and made twice as large, as JPEG.
• Upscale artwork to 1 megapixelDrawings, anime and logos enlarged with the illustration model to about 1 megapixel each.
• Share links and error rowsA GitHub share link upscaled 3x; broken links come back as free rows that say what went wrong.
