Why Choose This?

  • Creative image upscaling — Guide generated detail with creative settings.
  • Model selection — Choose from the available processing models.
  • Resolution options — Select an output resolution tier.
  • Creative controls — Guide the result with a prompt and creativity setting.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
imageYesThe image to process (JPEG, PNG, TIFF or WebP).
modelNoProcessing model. Options: Bloom 2, Bloom, Bloom Realism. Default: Bloom 2.
target_resolutionNoThe target resolution of the output: 2k (about 4 MP), 4k (about 16.8 MP) or 8k (about 67 MP). The source aspect ratio is preserved. Options: 2k, 4k, 8k. Default: 4k.
promptNoOptional description of the image or the result you want.
creativityNoControls the amount of generated detail. Range: 1-9; Bloom Realism supports 1-4. Default: 3.
output_formatNoThe format of the output image. Options: jpeg, png. Default: jpeg.

How to Use

  1. Upload your image — Provide a file or URL.
  2. Choose a model — Select the processing option for your input.
  3. Select a resolution — Choose the desired output tier.
  4. Set creative controls — Optionally add a prompt and adjust creativity.
  5. Submit — Process and download the result.

Pricing

Pricing is per image, based on the selected resolution tier and model.

Prompt, creativity, and output format do not add separate charges.


Notes

  • Resolution tiers are square-equivalent: 2k is about 2048 x 2048 pixels, 4k about 4096 x 4096, and 8k about 8192 x 8192.
  • Actual width and height vary with the source aspect ratio.
  • Generative processing can change fine details; review the result for your intended use.
  • Bloom Realism accepts creativity values from 1 to 4; other listed models accept 1 to 9.

Request Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultRangeDescription
imagestringYes-The image to process (JPEG, PNG, TIFF or WebP).
