AI-generated detail. Beyond the original.
Creative Mode goes further than reconstruction. Using generative AI, it adds new plausible detail that makes your images look like they were always shot at higher resolution.
Explainer
What is Creative Mode?
Traditional upscaling — even AI upscaling — works by reconstructing what was already in your image. It's a faithful process: the output is constrained by the input. When detail isn't there, it can only guess conservatively.
Creative Mode is different. It uses a diffusion-based generative layer on top of our upscaling foundation to synthesise new, plausible detail that wasn't in the original. Think of it as collaborating with an AI that has seen hundreds of millions of images and knows exactly what a leather jacket should look like at 8K — even if your original photo was shot on a smartphone.
The result isn't a hallucination. It's a coherent, visually consistent enhancement that makes your image look like it was always captured at maximum resolution. For art, social content, and creative work, this produces dramatically more striking results than fidelity-focused approaches.
When accuracy matters more than impact — product listings, medical scans, legal documentation — switch to Precision Mode.
Capabilities
Creative enhancements
Generative Textures
Where the original image lacks texture data, our model synthesizes realistic detail informed by the surrounding context. Fabric becomes fabric, skin becomes skin — not plastic.
Style Coherence
The generative model reads the visual language of your image — whether it's a film photograph, a digital illustration, or a 3D render — and ensures new detail matches that aesthetic seamlessly.
Skin & Portrait Enhancement
A dedicated sub-model handles faces and skin tones with specialist training. Pores, eyelashes, and fine hair are rendered with the kind of detail you'd expect from a medium-format camera.
Artistic Preservation
Intentional grain, film halation, painterly strokes, and artistic blur are recognised as deliberate choices and preserved rather than cleaned away. Your artistic intent stays intact.
