Crystal Upscaler | [image-to-image]

Clarity AI's Crystal Upscaler delivers specialized facial enhancement at $0.016 per megapixel with portrait-optimized upscaling up to 200x scale factor. Trading general-purpose upscaling for facial detail precision, it targets portrait photographers and content creators who need professional-grade facial enhancement without complex post-processing workflows.

Use Cases: Portrait Photography Enhancement | Social Media Content Optimization | Professional Headshot Restoration


Performance

Crystal Upscaler positions as a specialized facial upscaling tool at $0.016 per megapixel, making cost directly proportional to output resolution rather than fixed per-image pricing.

Portrait-Optimized Upscaling Architecture

Crystal Upscaler uses Clarity AI's specialized upscaling technology designed specifically for facial details and portrait photography, contrasting with general-purpose super-resolution models that treat all image regions equally.

What this means for you:

  • Facial Detail Preservation: Architecture prioritizes skin texture, eye clarity, and facial feature sharpness over generic edge enhancement, delivering portrait-specific quality improvements

  • Extreme Scale Flexibility: 200x maximum scale factor handles severely degraded inputs like low-resolution scans or compressed social media downloads that typical 4x upscalers can't process

  • Creativity Parameter Control: 0-10 range lets you balance between strict detail preservation (low creativity) and AI-enhanced reconstruction (high creativity) for damaged or extremely low-resolution inputs

  • Resolution-Based Pricing: Pay only for output megapixels rather than per-image, making small upscaling jobs (2x on 512px) cost $0.004 while large restoration projects (10x on 1024px) scale proportionally
