Introducing Recraft Creative Upscale on WaveSpeedAI: Transform Your Images with Intelligent Detail Enhancement

We’re excited to announce the availability of Recraft Creative Upscale on WaveSpeedAI—a sophisticated AI-powered image enhancement model that goes far beyond traditional upscaling to breathe new life into your visuals.

What is Recraft Creative Upscale?

Recraft Creative Upscale is an advanced image-to-image model developed by Recraft AI, the UK-based company behind the acclaimed Recraft V3 text-to-image model that achieved the #1 position on Hugging Face’s Text-to-Image Model Leaderboard with an ELO rating of 1172—outperforming models from Midjourney, OpenAI, and other major image generation companies.

Unlike conventional upscaling tools that simply increase pixel count, Creative Upscale takes an interpretive approach to image enhancement. It analyzes your image, understands its content, and intelligently refines textures, fine details, and facial features while adding depth and polish to complex elements. The result is an image that doesn’t just look bigger—it looks genuinely better.

Key Features

Intelligent Detail Refinement: Rather than stretching pixels, the model reconstructs and enhances fine details, textures, and intricate patterns with remarkable accuracy
Advanced Facial Enhancement: Special attention is given to facial features, making it exceptional for portrait photography and any images containing people
Texture Depth Enhancement: Adds realistic depth to surfaces like fabric, hair, foliage, and other complex textures that traditional upscalers struggle with
Preservation of Artistic Intent: Maintains the original character and aesthetic of your image while elevating its quality
High-Resolution Output: Supports upscaling to a maximum of 4096×4096 pixels, providing ample resolution for print and large-format displays
Versatile Format Support: Works with JPEG, PNG, and other common image formats

How Creative Upscale Differs from Standard Upscaling

Traditional upscaling algorithms interpolate between existing pixels, often resulting in soft, blurry images or artificial-looking artifacts. Even basic AI upscalers that add sharpness can introduce noise or unnatural edges.

Recraft Creative Upscale operates differently. By leveraging deep learning trained on millions of high-quality images, it predicts and generates the missing details that would exist in a higher-resolution version of your image. It doesn’t just guess what pixels should be there—it intelligently reconstructs them based on an understanding of real-world textures, lighting, and image composition.

This makes Creative Upscale particularly effective for:

AI-generated artwork that needs refinement for professional use
Low-resolution source images that need to be prepared for print
Photographs with complex textures where standard upscaling falls short
Portrait and fashion photography requiring enhanced facial and fabric details

Real-World Use Cases

E-Commerce and Product Photography

Product images often need to be displayed at various sizes across different platforms. Creative Upscale ensures your product photos maintain crisp, detailed appearances whether they’re viewed as thumbnails or in full-screen gallery mode. Fine textures in clothing, jewelry, and accessories are enhanced to showcase product quality.

Digital Art and AI-Generated Content

Artists working with AI-generated images can use Creative Upscale as a finishing step to add professional-grade detail and polish. The model excels at enhancing the painterly textures and soft gradients common in AI art, preparing pieces for print or high-resolution display.

Photo Restoration and Enhancement

Breathe new life into old photographs or low-resolution images from older cameras. Creative Upscale can restore clarity to cherished memories, enhancing facial features and environmental details that time or technology limitations had obscured.

Marketing and Brand Assets

Marketing teams can transform existing image libraries into high-resolution assets suitable for billboards, print campaigns, and large-format displays without expensive reshoots. The enhanced detail quality ensures brand imagery looks sharp and professional at any scale.

Print-Ready Preparation

Photographers and designers preparing images for large-format prints benefit from Creative Upscale’s ability to add genuine detail rather than artificial sharpening. The results hold up to close inspection, maintaining natural appearance even at poster or canvas sizes.
