Features

Recraft Crisp Upscale – Image Restoration and Super-Resolution

Recraft Crisp Upscale is an AI-powered enhancer from Recraft that turns low-resolution, noisy, or aged photos into sharper, cleaner, high-resolution images. It is especially strong on portraits and fine details, making it ideal for photo restoration, profile pictures, product images, and social media visuals.

Why it stands out

• Crisp detail recovery Sharpens edges, textures, and facial features so eyes, hair, and fabric folds look clean and well-defined.

• Noise and artifact reduction Smooths grain, JPEG blocks, and minor motion blur while preserving structure and character identity.

• Natural, photo-friendly look Enhances clarity without plastic skin or over-sharpening, keeping the original mood and style of the image.

• Drop-in enhancement step Works as a final polish in your pipeline: restore old scans, then pass the result straight to design tools, websites, or print.

• Flexible delivery Returns a standard image URL by default, or base64-encoded data when you enable base64 output via API.

Limits and performance

• Input: single image (portrait, product photo, scan, or other)
• Output: enhanced, higher-quality version of the same image (same composition and framing)
• Typical processing time: a few seconds per image, depending on size and queue load
• Best for: portraits and real-world photos; heavily stylised art may benefit but is not the primary target

The model focuses on restoration and super-resolution; it does not change content or composition beyond subtle aesthetic enhancement.

Pricing

Simple per-image billing:

• $0.004 per processed image

Pro tips for best quality

• Use the highest-quality version of your original image; less compression and higher resolution give the model more to work with.
• For very old or heavily damaged scans, consider basic dust or scratch removal before running Crisp Upscale.
• Use it as the last step after colour correction or light retouching to maximise overall clarity and perceived resolution.
