The total cost depends on how long the model runs. It costs $0.001265 per second. Based on an average runtime of 53 seconds, each run costs about $0.0670. With a $1 budget, you can run the model around 14 times.

Create a Prediction

Send a POST request to create a new prediction. This will return a prediction ID that you'll use to check the result. The request should include your model inputs and API key.

Get Prediction Result

Poll the prediction endpoint with the prediction ID until the result is ready. The API uses long-polling, so you'll need to repeatedly check until you receive a success status.

Overview

Each-upscaler is an advanced AI-powered image upscaling model developed by Each AI, designed to enhance image resolution and sharpness while preserving fine details. The model leverages state-of-the-art deep learning techniques to intelligently reconstruct missing pixels, making it suitable for professional use cases where image quality is paramount. Each-upscaler stands out for its ability to upscale images up to 4x their original size, delivering photorealistic results without introducing artifacts or blurring.

The core technology behind each-upscaler is based on Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks (ESRGAN), a leading architecture in the field of image super-resolution. This approach enables the model to understand and replicate complex image structures, textures, and edges, resulting in outputs that maintain the integrity of the original image. Additional features such as smart edge detection and automatic noise reduction further contribute to the model’s ability to produce clean, high-quality images suitable for both creative and professional workflows.

What makes each-upscaler unique is its combination of speed, quality, and detail preservation. It processes images rapidly (typically within 5-10 seconds per image), supports a wide range of input formats, and is engineered to minimize common upscaling issues such as over-smoothing or loss of texture. The model’s adaptability and robust performance have made it a preferred choice among photographers, designers, and digital artists seeking reliable image enhancement solutions.

Technical Specifications

  • Architecture: Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks (ESRGAN)
  • Parameters: Not publicly specified (typical ESRGAN models range from tens to hundreds of millions of parameters)
  • Resolution: Supports upscaling up to 4x original size; maximum output resolution typically up to 16K or 32K pixels depending on implementation
  • Input/Output formats: JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, RAW
  • Performance metrics: Processing speed 5-10 seconds per image; Image quality rated at 98%; Detail preservation rated at 96%; Maximum file size typically 2MB per image

Key Considerations

  • Ensure input images are of reasonable quality; extremely low-resolution or heavily compressed images may yield suboptimal results
  • For best results, avoid upscaling beyond 4x as quality gains diminish and artifacts may appear
  • Batch processing is under development; currently, process images individually for optimal performance
  • Monitor file size limits (commonly 2MB per image) to avoid upload errors
  • Balance quality and speed by selecting appropriate upscaling factors; higher factors may increase processing time
  • Use images with clear subject separation for best edge preservation
  • Experiment with different input formats (e.g., PNG vs. JPEG) to assess impact on output quality

Tips & Tricks

  • Use high-quality, uncompressed source images (such as PNG or RAW) for the best upscaling results
  • For images with fine details (e.g., hair, fabric), select the maximum supported upscaling factor (up to 4x) and review the output for artifacts
  • If the output appears over-smoothed, try reducing the upscaling factor or pre-processing the image to enhance contrast
  • For portraits, ensure faces are well-lit and in focus to maximize detail retention
  • To enhance sharpness, consider a two-step workflow: upscale first, then apply additional sharpening or denoising as needed
  • For iterative refinement, upscale in smaller increments and review results at each step
  • When working with digital art or anime, test both 'smooth' and 'detailed' upscaling options if available to match the desired aesthetic

Capabilities

  • Upscales images up to 4x with high fidelity and minimal loss of detail
  • Preserves sharp edges and fine textures, reducing common artifacts found in traditional upscaling
  • Automatically reduces noise and compression artifacts during enhancement
  • Delivers rapid processing speeds (5-10 seconds per image)
  • Supports a wide range of image formats, including JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, and RAW
  • Adaptable for various image types, including photographs, digital art, and scanned documents
  • Maintains color accuracy and vibrancy in output images

What Can I Use It For?

  • Professional photo enhancement for print and digital publishing, as documented in industry reviews and case studies
  • Restoration and upscaling of archival images and scanned artwork for museums and libraries
  • Preparation of high-resolution assets for e-commerce product listings and marketing materials
  • Enhancement of digital art, anime, and illustrations for artists and content creators, as shared in community forums
  • Upscaling of textures and assets for game development and 3D rendering pipelines
  • Personal projects such as restoring old family photos or improving social media images, as reported by users on GitHub and Reddit
  • Industry-specific applications like medical imaging, satellite photo enhancement, and scientific visualization, as discussed in technical articles

Things to Be Aware Of

  • Some users report experimental features such as batch processing and API access are in development or limited release
  • Occasional edge cases where fine details (e.g., hair, intricate patterns) may be over-smoothed or slightly distorted
  • Performance benchmarks indicate high image quality and detail preservation, but results may vary based on input quality
  • Resource requirements are moderate; processing is typically fast but may slow down with very large images or high upscaling factors
  • Consistency is generally high, but outputs can vary with highly compressed or low-quality source images
  • Positive feedback highlights the model’s speed, ease of use, and ability to preserve details without introducing artifacts
  • Some negative feedback notes limitations with extremely low-resolution inputs and occasional color shifts in certain images

Limitations

  • Maximum upscaling factor is 4x; attempting higher scaling may result in artifacts or loss of quality
  • Not optimal for extremely low-resolution or heavily compressed images, where detail recovery is inherently limited
  • Batch processing and support for very large file sizes may be restricted or unavailable in current implementations

Pricing Detail

This model runs at a cost of $0.001265 per second.

The average execution time is 53 seconds, but this may vary depending on your input data.

The average cost per run is $0.067045

Pricing Type: Execution Time

Cost Per Second means the total cost is calculated based on how long the model runs. Instead of paying a fixed fee per run, you are charged for every second the model is actively processing. This pricing method provides flexibility, especially for models with variable execution times, because you only pay for the actual time used.
