What is an anime image upscaler?
An anime image upscaler increases the resolution of an illustration while reconstructing detail, rather than simply interpolating pixels the way a normal resize does. PixAI's Image Upscaler is tuned for anime art, so it keeps line weight clean and flat colour areas flat instead of introducing the mushy texture that photo trained upscalers add to illustration.

How is an anime upscaler different from a general one?
General upscalers are trained mostly on photographs, so they add texture and grain to reconstruct detail. Applied to illustration that produces noisy gradients and fuzzy line art. An anime tuned model preserves hard lines and flat colour fields instead.
How much can I upscale before quality falls apart?
Two to four times the original dimensions is the usable range. Beyond that the model is inventing more than it is reconstructing, and the result stops resembling the source.
Will it fix a blurry or badly compressed image?
It reduces JPEG artefacts and sharpens soft edges to a degree. It cannot recover detail that was never captured. Heavy compression damage limits how good the result can be.
Should I upscale before or after using a preset tool?
After. Presets like Figure or Dakimakura generate at their own resolution, so upscaling the source first is wasted work. Upscale the final output instead.
Does it change my artwork?
It reconstructs detail, so very fine elements can shift slightly. Faces and text are where changes are most noticeable. Compare at full size before replacing your original.
What is the maximum output size?
Limits depend on your plan and the source dimensions. Free daily credits cover regular upscaling, larger jobs consume more credits.
