+sidebarTitle: "Image upscale"
+---
+
+This guide covers image upscaling workflows in ComfyUI, including local models and partner node options for various use cases.
+
+<Tip>
+For a comprehensive deep-dive with benchmarks and visual comparisons, see [The Complete AI Upscaling Handbook](https://blog.comfy.org/p/upscaling-in-comfyui) on the ComfyUI Blog.
+</Tip>
+
+## Key concepts
+
+### Upscaling vs. enhancement
+
+- **Upscaling** increases resolution while reconstructing detail.
+- **Enhancement** improves perceived quality (denoise, sharpen, restore, color, faces, etc.).
+
+The best practice in AI pipelines usually combines both steps.
+
+### Creative vs. conservative upscale
+
+| | Conservative | Creative |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Approach** | Preserve the original | Reimagine and enhance |
+| **Strengths** | High accuracy, consistency, production-safe | Rich details, sharper, more visually striking |
+| **Limits** | Can appear flat, limited improvement on poor input | Possible hallucinations or structural drift |
+| **Models** | Magnific Precise, SeedVR2, FlashVSR, Topaz Fast, HitPaw | Wan 2.2, Magnific Creative, Topaz Astra, HitPaw Creative |
+
+## Use cases
+
+### Portrait and skin enhancement
+
+Achieving realistic skin details while maintaining character consistency is key for portrait upscaling. The best models add texture, pores, and natural skin imperfections. In this domain, Magnific Image Skin Enhancer far outperforms the rest.
+
+**Recommended**: Magnific Image Skin Enhancer
+

+  </Card>
+</CardGroup>
+
+### Product photography
+
+Maintaining faithful representation of materials, product label edges, and small text requires conservative upscaling models.
+
+**Recommended**: HitPaw, Magnific Precise, WaveSpeed SeedVR2, Nano Banana Pro

+</CardGroup>
+
+### Landscape and environments
+
+The model choice depends on your needs:
+- **Creative models**: Make environmental shots pop with details and mood.
+- **Conservative models**: Keep buildings and structures consistent.
+
+Creative models may reimagine artifacts while conservative models will not. Any model can potentially fit your needs depending on your specific requirements.

+  </Card>
+</CardGroup>
+
+### Stylized art and illustration
+
+For distinct or unique styles, conservative models work best to avoid adding unwanted details. For images with room for detail, creative models can improve the style.
+
+**Recommended**: Magnific Creative, Topaz Image Enhance, Nano Banana Pro
+
+**Tip**: Adjust the `creativity` parameters in Magnific Creative and Topaz Image Enhance to find the right balance. Nano Banana Pro can also work well for more common styles and adding details.

+
+### AI-generated images
+
+When it comes to upscaling images that have typical AI issues such as too many fingers, artifacts, incorrect anatomy, and morphing, the assumption is that creative upscales can fix it. Sometimes that's true, but other times not so much. Best practice is to resolve these issues prior to upscaling with image-edit models or traditional tools (or generate a new image entirely).
+
+## Available models
+
+### Local models (ESRGAN)
+
+For basic local upscaling using ESRGAN models, see the [basic upscale tutorial](/tutorials/basic/upscale).
+
+| Model | Best for |
+|---|---|
+| RealESRGAN | General-purpose upscaling |
+| BSRGAN | Text and sharp edges |
+| SwinIR | Natural textures, landscapes |

+
+### Partner nodes
+
+Partner nodes provide access to advanced upscaling models via API.
+
+| Model | Type | Max resolution | Features |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Topaz Image Enhance (Bloom) | Creative | 8K | Subject detection, face enhancement, color preservation |
+| Magnific Precise | Conservative | - | High accuracy, production-safe |
+| Magnific Creative | Creative | - | Detail reimagination, skin enhancement |
+| Magnific Skin Enhancer | Creative | - | Portrait-specific, adds realistic skin texture |
+| Nano Banana Pro | Conservative | - | Fast, good for product photography |
+| WaveSpeed SeedVR2 | Conservative | - | High fidelity |
+| HitPaw | Both | - | Conservative and creative modes |
+
+## Benchmark: 1K to 4K upscale time
+
+| Model | Time |
+|---|---|
+| Nano Banana Pro | ~80s |
+| Topaz Image Enhance | ~100s |
+
+## Tips
+
+- For SeedVR2, downscale the image to 0.35 megapixels with the `ImageScaleToTotalPixels` node before upscaling for better results.
+- Chain multiple upscale nodes (e.g., 2x → 4x) for ultra-high magnification.
+- Connect upscale nodes after generation for "generate + enhance" pipelines.
+- Test multiple models on your specific image type to find the best fit.

+
+This guide covers video upscaling workflows in ComfyUI, including local models and partner node options for various use cases.
+
+<Tip>
+For a comprehensive deep-dive with benchmarks and visual comparisons, see [The Complete AI Upscaling Handbook](https://blog.comfy.org/p/upscaling-in-comfyui) on the ComfyUI Blog.

+
+## Key concepts
+
+### Upscaling vs. enhancement
+
+- **Upscaling** increases resolution while reconstructing detail.
+- **Enhancement** improves perceived quality (denoise, sharpen, restore, temporal consistency, etc.).
+
+Video upscaling adds temporal considerations—maintaining consistency across frames while improving resolution.
+
+### Creative vs. conservative upscale
+
+| | Conservative | Creative |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Approach** | Preserve the original | Reimagine and enhance |
+| **Strengths** | High accuracy, temporal consistency, production-safe | Rich details, sharper, more visually striking |
+| **Limits** | Can appear flat, limited improvement on poor input | Possible hallucinations, temporal flickering |
+| **Models** | Topaz Starlight Fast, FlashVSR, SeedVR2 | Topaz Starlight Creative (Astra), Wan 2.2 |
+
+## Use cases
+
+### Film and VFX
+
+Professional productions require consistent, artifact-free upscaling that preserves the original creative intent.
+
+**Recommended**: Topaz Starlight Fast for precision, Topaz Starlight Creative (Astra) for enhanced detail.

+## Available models
+
+### Partner nodes
+
+Partner nodes provide access to advanced video upscaling models via API.
+
+| Model | Type | Max resolution | Features |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Topaz Starlight Fast | Conservative | 4K | Fast, precision upscale |
+| Topaz Starlight Creative (Astra) | Creative | 4K | Diffusion-based creative upscale |

+### Topaz Video Enhance features
+
+- **Upscaling**: Starlight (Astra) supports fast video upscaling to FullHD (1080p) or 4K while maintaining clarity.
+- **Interpolation**: Apollo model for frame interpolation with slowmo settings and custom frame rates (e.g., 60fps).
+- **Dynamic compression**: Intelligently identifies and handles compression artifacts to improve image purity.
+
+## Getting started with Topaz Video Enhance
+
+1. Update ComfyUI to the latest version.
+2. Search for the `Topaz Video Enhance` node in the node list.
+3. Connect your video input and configure the settings.
+4. Run the workflow.
+
+## Tips
+
+- Combine upscaling with [frame interpolation](/tutorials/utility/frame-interpolation) for smoother, higher-resolution output.
+- For AI-generated videos, consider fixing artifacts before upscaling rather than relying on creative upscaling to fix them.
+- Test different models on sample clips before processing full videos.
+- Use conservative upscaling for content that requires strict fidelity to the original.
