How It Works

This node sends your image to PixelML's upscaling service, which uses advanced AI algorithms to increase the image resolution while maintaining or enhancing visual quality. The service analyzes the image content and intelligently fills in additional pixels to create a larger, higher-resolution version. The upscaled image is then returned as a URL that you can use in subsequent nodes or download.

Usage Examples

Example 1: Upscale Product Image

Input:

image_url: "https://images.example.com/product_low_res.jpg"

Output:

image: "https://pixelml-output.example.com/upscaled_product_12345.png"

Example 2: Enhance Photo for Print

Input:

image_url: "https://storage.example.com/photo_original.webp"

Output:

image: "https://pixelml-output.example.com/enhanced_photo_67890.png"
(2x upscaled version ready for high-quality printing)

Example 3: Improve Low-Quality Screenshot

Input:

image_url: "https://cdn.example.com/screenshot_small.png"

Output:

image: "https://pixelml-output.example.com/upscaled_screenshot_11111.png"
(Clearer, sharper version suitable for documentation)

Common Use Cases

• Product Photography: Upscale product images for e-commerce sites to showcase details

• Print Media: Enhance images for printing in catalogs, posters, or promotional materials

• Archival Restoration: Improve quality of old or low-resolution images

• Screenshot Enhancement: Make UI screenshots clearer and sharper for documentation

• Social Media Optimization: Prepare images for different platform requirements

• AI Art Generation: Post-process generated images to increase resolution

• Video Frames: Upscale individual frames extracted from low-resolution videos

Error Handling

Error Type	Cause	Solution
Invalid Image URL	Image URL is malformed or inaccessible	Verify the URL is valid and the image is publicly accessible
Unsupported Format	Image format is not PNG, JPEG, JPG, or WEBP	Convert the image to a supported format before upscaling
Corrupted Image	Image file is corrupted or incomplete	Try with a different or fresh copy of the image
PixelML Service Error	PixelML API is unavailable or returning errors	Check your PixelML connection and try again later
Authentication Error	Invalid or expired PixelML credentials	Verify your PixelML connection configuration
Rate Limit Exceeded	Too many upscale requests in a short period	Implement delays between requests or upgrade your PixelML plan
Timeout Error	Request took too long to process	Try with a smaller image or simpler content

Notes

• Supported Formats: PNG, JPEG, JPG, and WEBP images are supported

• Image Size: Very large images may take longer to process; consider splitting if needed

• Quality Preservation: The AI algorithm intelligently preserves image details while enhancing resolution

• URL Requirements: The image URL must be publicly accessible (not behind authentication)

• Output Format: Upscaled images are typically returned as PNG or JPEG URLs

• Caching: Upscale results may be cached; requesting the same image multiple times returns the same upscaled version

• Best Results: Works best with images that have clear subjects and reasonable original quality
