What does Topaz Upscale Image Creative do?

It enlarges an image up to 4x while generating new, plausible fine detail using Topaz's Bloom family of creative upscale models.

How is Creative different from the Generative or Precision Topaz upscalers?

Creative leans furthest toward inventing new detail for a more stylized, sharpened result. Generative reconstructs realistic detail (faces, textures) more conservatively, and Precision stays closest to the original pixels.

What image formats and sizes are supported?

Any standard JPEG/PNG/WebP URL works as input. Output can be requested as `jpeg` or `png` via `output_format`.

How is pricing calculated?

Cost is based on the actual output megapixels after `upscale_factor` is applied, billed per started 2-megapixel block.

Can I control how much new detail is added?

Yes — the `creativity` parameter (1-9) controls how much new detail the model invents, and `color_preservation` keeps the original color palette intact.

Is there a webhook for completion?

Yes, pass `webhook_url` in the request body or as a `?webhook=` query parameter and muapi will POST the final result when processing completes.

About Topaz Upscale Image Creative

Topaz Upscale Image Creative enlarges an image up to 4x while inventing new, plausible fine detail — hair strands, fabric weave, skin texture — rather than just smoothing pixels. It runs on Topaz's Bloom 2, Bloom, and Bloom Realism models, with optional autoprompting and adjustable creativity so you can dial in how much new detail the model is allowed to imagine versus how closely it should stay to the source. Works well on soft phone photos, old scans, and AI-generated images that need a sharper, more detailed finish. See also [Topaz Upscale Image Generative](/playground/topaz-upscale-image-generative) for a more faithful reconstruction-focused alternative, or [Topaz Upscale Image Precision](/playground/topaz-upscale-image-precision) when you need to preserve the original look exactly.
