Creative Upscaler
Generated on PixelDojo with Creative Upscaler. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
Creative Upscaler costs a flat 0.5 credits per job no matter which scale factor you pick, and our 2x run on a portrait finished in about 38 seconds on August 26, 2026. It runs Clarity Upscaler with a stable diffusion refinement pass, and the price does not move whether you ask for 2x or something closer to its 10x ceiling. Here is what 0.5 credits actually bought.

What 0.5 credits gets you
Flat 0.5 credits regardless of scale_factor
scale_factor accepts anything from 1 to 10, and the price does not change. That is unusual among the upscalers on the platform, where Clarity Pro and Portrait Upscaler both charge more as the multiplier goes up.
What our 2x run returned
The same fisherman portrait at 2048 by 2784 pixels, up from 1024 by 1392. The net's twine texture and the creases in the hands both read clearly at the larger size, with a slightly warmer, higher contrast look than the source.
Creativity and resemblance dials
creativity runs 0 to 1 and controls how freely the model reinterprets detail; resemblance runs 0 to 3 and pulls the result back toward the source. We ran the defaults of 0.35 and 0.6.
It also takes a prompt
An optional prompt field steers the stable diffusion refinement pass, something the other two upscalers in the catalog do not offer. We left it blank for a faithful pass.
LoRA support in the refinement pass
A lora_links field accepts one or more LoRA URLs or HuggingFace paths, applied during the sharpening step for a specific stylistic look.
One 2x upscale, 0.5 credits, about 38 seconds. The cheapest photo upscaler in the catalog.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Creative Upscaler
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
0.5 credits, flat
The cheapest upscale price in the catalog, and it does not change with scale_factor.
About 38 seconds, measured
Timed on August 26, 2026 from request to finished 2048 by 2784 file at 2x.
Sharpening without a plastic look
Net texture and skin detail both held up at 2x without the smoothed, over-processed look cheap upscalers sometimes produce.
How It Works
How our 0.5 credit upscale was made:
Upload the photo to sharpen
We used a portrait already at 1024 by 1392. Any source image works; the price stays 0.5 credits regardless of size.
Set a scale factor, leave the rest default
We ran scale_factor 2 with the default creativity of 0.35 and resemblance of 0.6, and left the optional prompt blank.
Run it in the app or over the API
From the tool page, or POST to /api/v1/models/creative-upscale/run. Ours charged 0.5 credits and returned in about 38 seconds.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Creative Upscaler
How much does Creative Upscaler cost?
0.5 credits, flat, regardless of the scale_factor you choose from 1 to 10. That is the cheapest upscale price in the catalog.
How fast is Creative Upscaler?
About 38 seconds in our August 26, 2026 run at 2x, from request to a finished 2048 by 2784 file.
How does it compare with Clarity Pro Upscaler?
Clarity Pro charges roughly scale_factor squared credits, so a 2x run there costs about 4 credits against 0.5 here. Clarity Pro is built around photorealistic identity preservation; Creative Upscaler is a stable diffusion refinement pass that also accepts a steering prompt and custom LoRAs, which Clarity Pro does not.
Can I steer the result with a prompt?
Yes, optionally. Creative Upscaler takes a prompt field that guides the refinement pass, something the other upscalers in the catalog do not offer. We left it blank for a faithful upscale.
What do creativity and resemblance control?
creativity (0 to 1) sets how freely the model reinterprets detail during the pass. resemblance (0 to 3) pulls the result back toward the original. We used the defaults, 0.35 and 0.6.
How do I call it from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/creative-upscale/run with your API key and an image URL. Same key as every other model in the catalog.
