Image size and output limits

Measure the output, not only the input

Output MP = (original width × scale) × (original height × scale) ÷ 1,000,000. File size in MB measures storage; megapixels measure pixel count. A small compressed file can still exceed the pixel limit.

For example, 1200 × 800 at 4× becomes 4800 × 3200, or 15.36 MP. It fits the paid limit and costs 2 credits. At 2× it becomes 2400 × 1600, or 3.84 MP, and can use an available free allowance.

Understand free and paid limits

Up to 8 MP can use a remaining daily free image. Larger outputs, or processing after the daily allowance is used, require credits. Output must not exceed 32 MP even when you have enough credits. The input allowance of 32 MP does not mean every 32 MP source can be enlarged.

Why is an option unavailable?

If 4× would exceed 32 MP, try 2×. If 2× also exceeds the limit, resize or crop your source in an image editor, then upload it again. For example, a 3000 × 2000 source gives 24 MP at 2× but 96 MP at 4×. Check the pricing calculator before processing.

Advanced scales and exact dimensions

6× and 8× are available only when the final output fits within 32 MP. For a 1731 × 909 source, 2× produces 3462 × 1818 (1 paid credit), 3× produces 5193 × 2727 (2 credits), and 4× produces 6924 × 3636 (4 credits). Both advanced scales exceed the limit. An available daily free use covers the 2× output. Very close to a model cost boundary, 3× can also be unavailable for odd-sized originals; the workspace explains the restriction before processing. Natural and Extra Detail use the same credit tiers.

Does a bigger file always mean better detail?

No. More pixels increase output dimensions, but the source determines how much reliable detail is available. Increasing the scale cannot guarantee accurate small text or recover every missing feature. Inspect the result before using it for print, product listings or other detail-sensitive work.
