Recraft Creative Upscale

Enhance and upscale images with Recraft's AI-powered creative upscaler. This intelligent model goes beyond simple resolution increase — it reconstructs details, enhances textures, and improves overall image quality while maintaining natural appearance.

Why It Looks Great

Creative enhancement: Intelligently reconstructs details, not just enlarges pixels.
Texture improvement: Enhances fine details like hair, skin, fabric, and foliage.
Natural results: Maintains authentic appearance without artificial over-sharpening.
Simple workflow: Just upload an image — no complex parameters needed.
High-quality output: Professional-grade upscaling for print and digital use.

Pro Tips for Best Results

Start with the highest quality source image available for best results.
Works well with portraits, landscapes, and product photography.
Creative upscaling adds intelligent detail — ideal for images that need enhancement.
For simple resolution increase without creative enhancement, consider standard upscalers.
Best results come from images with good composition and reasonable original quality.

Notes

If using a URL, ensure it is publicly accessible. A preview thumbnail confirms successful loading.
Also accepts base64 encoded images for API integration.
Processing time may vary based on image size and complexity.
Creative upscaling intelligently enhances details beyond simple interpolation.

Recraft Creative Upscale API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/recraft-ai/recraft-creative-upscale with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to completed, then read the output URL from data.outputs[0]. Examples for Recraft Creative Upscale below.

HTTP example

# Submit the prediction
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/recraft-ai/recraft-creative-upscale" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg",
    "enable_base64_output": false
}'

# Response includes a prediction id. Poll for the result:
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"

# When status is "completed", read the output from data.outputs[0].

Node.js example

// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');

const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY from env

const result = await client.run("recraft-ai/recraft-creative-upscale", {
        "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg",
        "enable_base64_output": false
});

console.log(result.outputs[0]); // → URL of the generated output

Python example

# pip install wavespeed
import wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(
    "recraft-ai/recraft-creative-upscale",
    {
    "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg",
    "enable_base64_output": false
}
)

print(output["outputs"][0])  # → URL of the generated output

Recraft Creative Upscale API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Recraft Creative Upscale API?

Recraft Creative Upscale is a Recraft model for upscaling, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Recraft Creative Upscale refines textures and fine details, adding depth and polish to complex elements—not increasing resolution. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Recraft Creative Upscale API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/recraft-ai/recraft-ai-recraft-creative-upscale.

How much does Recraft Creative Upscale cost per run?

Recraft Creative Upscale starts at $0.25 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Recraft Creative Upscale accept?

Key inputs: `image`, `enable_base64_output`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/recraft-ai/recraft-ai-recraft-creative-upscale.

How long does Recraft Creative Upscale take to generate?

Average end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 24 seconds per request — measured across recent runs. Queue time scales with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.

Can I use Recraft Creative Upscale outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Recraft). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
