FLUX Image Upscaler

Try FLUX Image Upscaler in the Workbench

Run this model interactively, tune parameters, and compare outputs.

Model ID: flux-image-upscaler FLUX Image Upscaler enlarges a still up to 4x while adding detail, holding natural color and keeping artifacts down. It suits photographs, product shots, and generated images that need to print or display larger than they were made. Creativity controls how far the model may depart from the source: low values restore detail conservatively, higher values invent texture where the original has none.

Example request

Use the Workbench as a request builder: configure parameters for this model in the UI, then open the API tab to copy the exact cURL or Python call.

Request parameters

Required parameters

Field	Type	Default	Description
`input_image`	`string`	—	Image to upscale. Must be jpg, jpeg, png, webp, gif, or avif. Format: uri.

Optional parameters

Field	Type	Default	Description
`upscale_factor`	`number`	`2`	How much to enlarge the image. Cost follows the output area, so 4x costs roughly four times 2x. Range: 1 – 4.
`creativity`	`number`	`0.3`	How far the model may depart from the source. Low values restore detail conservatively, high values invent new texture. Range: 0 – 1.
`num_inference_steps`	`integer`	`20`	Number of denoising steps. More steps refine detail and take longer. Range: 4 – 50.
`seed`	`integer`	—	Random seed. Set for reproducible output.
