x2 for the web
Double a product shot, a thumbnail, or an old export so it holds up on a retina screen without going soft.
Bigger. Same picture.
Why this upscaler and not another
Enlarging a picture is easy. Enlarging it without quietly changing what is in the frame is the hard part, and it is the part that decides whether a client signs off.
→ It enlarges. It does not redraw.
Most upscalers are generators wearing a costume: they guess the missing pixels and hand back a face that is not quite the face you shot. Bria resamples what is already there, so the picture you get back is the picture you sent, larger.
→ Two real factors, x2 and x4
Each factor runs its own trained checkpoint rather than the same pass twice. Output goes up to 8192 px on the long edge, which covers a poster, a gatefold, or a full-bleed spread.
→ Trained on licensed pictures only
Bria built its training set from stock libraries and contracted photographers who agreed to it. That is why the model carries a commercial-safe label, and why an enlarged image stays as clean to sell as the original.
Model comparison
Two ways to make an image bigger honestly
BriaFaithful
Increase Resolution
- Enlarges without redrawing
- x2 and x4, up to 8192 px
- Alpha channel kept
- Colour held to the source
- Trained on licensed pictures
Generative upscalersInventive
The other kind
- Paints in detail that was never shot
- Faces and text drift from the original
- Great for concept art, risky for a catalogue
- Training data rarely disclosed
- Hard to defend to a client
Model capabilities
What you get on every run
x4 for print
Take a 2048 px file to 8192 px, which is the ceiling Fal enforces. Enough for a poster at arm's length.
Alpha kept
A cut-out stays cut out. The source alpha channel is reattached to the result, so packshots and logos come back on transparent.
Colour held to the source
Upscalers drift warm or cold. Bria corrects the enlarged file against the original so a brand red is still that brand red.
PNG or JPEG out
PNG when you need the transparency, JPEG when you need the weight down. You pick at the moment you run it.
Commercial license included
Everything you enlarge on Distribea is yours to sell, print, and publish. Same license as the rest of the catalogue.
How to run it on Distribea
01
Open an image
Generate one in the AI image generator, or open one you already made from your history.
02
Press Upscale
The menu offers x2 and x4, with the credit price on the line. Anything that would pass 8192 px is greyed out.
03
Download the result
The enlarged file lands next to the original, badged with the factor you asked for.
Who reaches for it
Sellers with an old catalogue
Product photos shot years ago at 800 px still sit in the store. Doubling them is faster than reshooting, and the product stays the product.
Designers going to print
A layout signed off on screen fails at the printer for want of pixels. x4 takes the file to a size the press will accept.
Creators reworking an archive
Old thumbnails, old covers, old screenshots. Enlarge them once and they fit today's formats instead of being shot again.
Frequently asked questions
It enlarges an image by a factor of 2 or 4, up to 8192 px on the long edge, and keeps the content exactly as it was. No detail is invented, no face is redrawn, no texture is hallucinated. It is the upscaler you use when the picture has to stay the picture.
