Select Upscale Size

You can enlarge your images by choosing a preset scale or setting a custom resolution.

• 1× / 2× / 4×

• 2K / 4K / 8K (auto-adjusted by maximum length)

• Custom Resolution – Manually define output width and height.

Example: A 640×360 image upscaled 4× will become 2560×1440.

Choose an AI Model

Select the model that best fits your image type under Upscale Model.

• Standard – Balanced option for general photos such as scenery, architecture, or products.

• Photograph – Produces smoother results, ideal for portraits, nature, and everyday photos.

• Anime – Optimized for illustrations, comics, or anime-style artwork.

• Iris – Designed for extremely low-resolution or compressed images, enhancing sharpness and detail.

You can preview and switch models before processing to compare results.

Face Options (Pro Feature)

If your image includes people, you can use Face Options to enhance facial details.
These options can be applied together with any AI model.

• Face Recovery – Restores blurry or unclear faces, improving facial structure and clarity.

• Skin Retouch – Smooths skin tones naturally while preserving realistic facial features.

💡 Tip: Perfect for selfies, portraits, and group photos to achieve a refined, professional look.

Choose Upscale Mode

There are two ways to process your images:

• Local Process
  The upscaling runs on your own computer using your GPU.

  • Requires NVIDIA GTX1080 or higher for acceleration.

  • Speed depends on your hardware.

  • Compatible with CPU mode if GPU is not available.

• Cloud Process
  The image is processed on Nero’s secured EU-based Cloud GPUs.

  • Usually 10× faster than GTX1080 and 100× faster than CPU.

  • Works on any PC, even without a dedicated GPU.

  • Requires Nero Credits per process (2 credits per image).

  • Available in the Pro version.

💡 Tip: Cloud mode is ideal for large batches or high-resolution projects where speed is important.

Start Processing

After adjusting all options:

• Click Process for local upscaling.

• Or click Cloud for high-speed cloud processing (Pro version required).

Once completed, you can compare the original and processed images using the split view slider.
