Upscalers AI Generator
Generated on PixelDojo. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
There are seven upscalers here: five for stills and two for video. The cheapest still pass is 0.1 credits and the most expensive is 64. Video is billed per second of the source clip, from 1 credit a second up to 22. The thing that decides your bill is almost never the model, it is the output size, because five of the seven price directly on it. We read every scale factor, resolution tier and credit rate below out of the model configuration files on August 26, 2026.
The seven upscalers and how each one prices
P-Image Upscale
Priced on the megapixel target you ask for, from 1 to 128. Up to 4 megapixels costs 0.1 credits, up to 8 costs 0.2, up to 16 costs 0.5, up to 32 costs 1, up to 64 costs 2, and anything above that up to the 128 ceiling costs 3. Optional switches boost fine detail and reduce the plastic look on AI generated sources.
Creative Upscaler
A flat 0.5 credits, whatever multiplier you choose. The scale factor runs from 1 to 10, and it exposes creativity, resemblance and sharpen dials plus an optional guidance prompt to steer what the model invents.
Clarity Pro
1 credit per output megapixel. Scale factors are 2, 4, 8 and 16, and the output is capped at 64 megapixels. So a 2x pass on a 1 megapixel source is about 4 credits, 4x is about 16, and both 8x and 16x land on the 64 megapixel ceiling and charge 64. Creativity runs from minus 10 to plus 10.
Portrait Upscaler
The face detail one. Scale factor from 1 to 8. It charges 1 credit at 2x or below, 2 credits up to 4x, and 4 credits above that. The declared cost is a best effort estimate that the server refines once it has measured the real output size.
Magnific Upscaler
Priced by the longest edge of the output: 3 credits up to 2048 pixels, 5 up to 4096, 26 up to 8192 and 52 up to 16384. Factors are 2x, 4x, 8x and 16x, in creative or precision mode, with three named engines and nine content presets covering portraits, art, landscapes, game assets and 3D renders.
Video Upscaler
1 credit per second of source video, at any target. Output targets are 720p, 1080p, 2K and 4K, and 1080p is the default. MP4 only, up to 500 MB. A 10 second clip costs 10 credits at 720p and the same 10 at 4K.
Flux Video Upscale
Also per second of source, but the rate moves with both mode and target. Precise mode is 4 credits a second at 1080p, 7 at 2K and 16 at 4K. Creative mode is 6, 10 and 22. Clips are capped at 20 seconds and 50 MB, and the upscale factor sits between 1.5 and 3.
Seven upscalers checked one file at a time. Where a model prices by output megapixels or by the longest output edge, the whole ladder is printed rather than the headline number.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Upscalers
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
The floor is 0.1 credits
P-Image Upscale at a 4 megapixel target is the cheapest pass on the platform. Creative Upscaler at a flat 0.5 is the cheapest option that does not care how far you push the multiplier.
Output size sets the price, not the scale factor
Clarity Pro and Magnific both bill on how big the finished file is, so a 4x pass on a small source can cost less than a 2x pass on a large one. Only Creative Upscaler ignores size entirely.
Video bills on the clip you send in
Both video upscalers charge per second of source, not per second of output, so the length of your input is the whole calculation. Video Upscaler charges the same rate at every target, which makes 4K on a short clip surprisingly cheap.
There is a ceiling worth knowing about
Clarity Pro caps its output at 64 megapixels. Past that point a bigger scale factor buys nothing and still charges the ceiling, so 8x and 16x on the same source cost the same 64 credits.
How It Works
How to price an upscale before you run it:
Work out the finished size first
Five of the seven charge on output. Multiply your source dimensions by the factor you want, then read the rate off that number rather than off the factor itself.
Choose faithful or inventive
Magnific has precision and creative modes, Flux Video Upscale has precise and creative, and Clarity Pro and Creative Upscaler both expose a creativity dial. Faithful settings keep the original detail. Creative settings invent new detail, which flatters soft sources and ruins accurate ones.
For video, multiply the rate by the source length
A 10 second clip on Video Upscaler is 10 credits at any target. The same clip on Flux Video Upscale in creative mode at 4K is 220. Check which of the two you actually need before sending the longer file.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Upscalers
What is the cheapest AI upscaler?
P-Image Upscale, at 0.1 credits for a target up to 4 megapixels. If you want to push much further without watching the meter, Creative Upscaler is a flat 0.5 credits at any multiplier from 1 to 10.
How much does a 4x upscale cost?
It depends which upscaler. Creative Upscaler stays at 0.5. Portrait Upscaler charges 2. Magnific charges 5 as long as the long edge lands under 4096 pixels. Clarity Pro charges 1 credit per output megapixel, so a 4x pass on a 1 megapixel source is about 16.
Can I upscale video, and what does it cost?
Yes, two models do it. Video Upscaler is 1 credit per second of source and goes to 4K, taking MP4 files up to 500 MB. Flux Video Upscale is 4 to 22 credits per second depending on mode and target, and takes clips up to 20 seconds and 50 MB.
Which upscaler is best for faces?
Portrait Upscaler. It is built around preserving face detail, takes a scale factor from 1 to 8, and charges 1, 2 or 4 credits depending on how far you push it.
Does a higher scale factor always cost more?
No. Creative Upscaler is flat at 0.5 for every setting. Video Upscaler charges the same 1 credit per second whether the target is 720p or 4K. And Clarity Pro stops rising at its 64 megapixel ceiling, so 8x and 16x on the same source cost the same.
How do I run an upscale from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/{apiId}/run with the source image URL and the scale field that model declares. The video upscalers also want the clip length in seconds, because that is what the charge is calculated from.
