Recraft Crisp Upscale
Upscale a finished frame up to 4x with added sharpness and detail — no scene regeneration
About the model
Recraft Crisp Upscale is for those moments when the frame already works content-wise but looks a bit soft, thin, or short of final-delivery quality. Instead of generating anew, you upload the finished result and get a sharper version with enhanced detail, cleaner edges, and less noise.
It’s especially useful in a production workflow: build the scene in your main model first, then selectively polish the final frame with an upscale. That saves time, preserves a composition that already works, and gets images ready for web, marketing, or print without extra iterations.
