Overview
The Universal Upscaler is Leonardo.Ai's most advanced upscaling feature.
This innovative upscaling tool enables you to enhance the quality and resolution of any image of your choice, be it on the app or from your device. Universal Upscaler also includes customizable settings, allowing you to tweak how your image should be upscaled to your liking. It's particularly useful for professionals who require high-resolution, clear images for their work, or anyone who wants to add crispness and some creative detail to their images.
How to use Universal Upscaler
Upscaling an existing image with the Universal Upscaler
From the home page, click Universal Upscaler beneath the prompt bar (A) or from the left side bar (B)
2. Click on Add Image in the Source Image section of the sidebar on the left or the Add an Image button. Select an image from your device or pick one from the app, then click Confirm.
3. Adjust the Upscaler Style, Multiplier (Size), and Upscaler Strength to your preferences in the side bar.
4. Click Upscale to generate and view your result with the slider. Your images will appear in the bar beneath your image. Any images you upscale from the AI creation tool can be found here as well.
Here's a before and after of our example image, where you can see enhanced realism in a subtle way, whilst preserving the details that matter, perfect for professional work.
Your upscale results are automatically saved to your Library. To download the image, simply click on the download button on the upper right corner of the page.
💡 Leonardo's Tip: The higher the Creativity Scale, the more Universal Upscaler may deviate from the original image. Keep the Creativity Scale low if you want an result closer to the original image.
Advanced Settings
Creativity Strength: This determines how liberal Universal Upscaler can be with filling in additional details of the image when upscaling it.
Upscale Multiplier: Allows you to determine how large the image should be upscaled by increments of 0.25x, from 1.00x onwards*.
Prompt: An optional setting, useful if you require a prompt to guide the upscaler. It is generally recommended to leave this empty.
* Upscale Multiplier range will vary depending on the resolution of the original image, currently capped at 2x.
⚠️ Notice: The Prompt feature should only be used in cases where something in the image is constantly misinterpreted by the upscaler. When utilizing the prompt feature, the use of concise prompts that provide a general description of the image is recommended.
