How these examples were made
Original inputs were created with an image-generation tool, then downsampled into test uploads. Every enhanced image was returned by the named FAL model. These are controlled synthetic examples, not customer photos or guarantees of results.
Choose your upscaler
Two real models. Different strengths, different prices. Compare the same input before you choose.
SeedVR2
A lower-cost option for general upscaling. Start here for textures, products and everyday images, then inspect the result.

SeedVR2 without ComfyUI
Choose 2× and begin with noise scale 0.1. Keep the seed at 42 while comparing settings so random variation does not obscure the test.
Try 0, 0.1 and 0.2 on the same image. Judge edges and texture, not sharpness alone; higher noise is not necessarily more accurate.
The online API exposes a focused set of controls. A local ComfyUI workflow can expose different precision, tiling, memory and preprocessing choices, and needs its own GPU setup. Results are not guaranteed to match.
Pay for the pixels you need
One credit is $0.01. Your chosen model and output size determine the cost. No subscription, no signup bonus, no hidden “free” trial.

Billed in whole output megapixels, rounded up, with a 1 MP minimum. 2× width and height means 4× the pixels; 4× means 16×.
Failed processing returns your credits. Higher creativity does not cost extra within the same model and output size.

A few useful answers
Is there a free trial?
No. All new image processing uses purchased credits. You can inspect the already-generated examples without uploading or spending credits.
Why do the models cost different amounts?
Their underlying processing costs differ. SeedVR2 is 1 credit and Crystal is 7 credits per output MP here. The displayed quote is calculated from your selected model and resulting pixel dimensions.
Does 4× cost twice as much as 2×?
For the same image and model, 4× produces four times the output pixels of 2×. Whole-MP billing and the 1 MP minimum can change the ratio for very small images.
Do I need to write a Prompt?
No. These Crystal and SeedVR2 endpoints accept an image and numeric controls, not a text Prompt. We only send parameters the selected endpoint supports.
What happens to uploaded images?
The image is sent to FAL for processing and stored privately by this service. Our uploads expire after 7 days and outputs after 30 days. FAL has its own processing and retention policies; read the privacy notice before uploading sensitive images.
Will AI recover the exact original details?
Not necessarily. AI can reconstruct plausible detail, including incorrect detail. Use the comparison to inspect faces, text and repeating patterns; the output is not documentary proof.
