Iris | Close-up details and high-contrast textures — eyes, fur, feathers, hair, jewelry, fabrics | Very sharp, high detail retention, ideal for professional or macro-like clarity |
Standard | General-purpose upscaling for various scenes, especially landscapes or cityscapes | Sharper and slightly stronger enhancement than Photo model |
Anime | AI-generated art, anime, illustrations, digital paintings, cartoons | Smooth gradients, line enhancement, painting-like texture |
Face Options
Face Recovery | AI restores low-resolution or blurred facial details. Effective for blurry and old portraits. |

Face recovery may slightly adjust facial features. Disable to ignore faces especially for large and sharp portraits.
Face models could work together with any Upscale models.
