Magnific

AI upscaler and enhancer that invents detail. A finisher, not a text-to-image model.

Best for

Upscaling a chosen image when you want invented detail, not a blurry enlarge.

What it is

Magnific upscales and reimagines images, inventing detail rather than only interpolating pixels. People use it to finish a generated image or a small photo. It is a specialist, and the plans have been relatively expensive for what is essentially one job.
