Generative Models

Gigapixel has generative AI models that produce outstanding results for more powerful enhancements.

System Requirements

Generative models have higher requirements for processing than the core models.

Cloud rendering currently supports output size up to 256MP. Output file size is measured by megapixels (MP). For example, a 4000 × 6000 px image is 24MP.

Standard Max

Standard Max is built for speed and efficiency, delivering results on a wide range of images while using less system resources. Acting as a hybrid between Standard v2 and Recover v2, it provides a quick and simple workflow featuring a Strength slider for natural blending.

Wonder

Wonder is designed for low-resolution photos that include small faces, heavy noise, or blurred backgrounds. It can produce clean, natural results, with fewer artifacts and less oversharpening. It’s especially effective on old images, social media, or pixelated images. While it can sometimes smooth out fine textures or struggle with dark areas, Wonder balances sharpness and realism to deliver a true upscale rather than an artificial interpretation.

Recover

Optimized for speed, Recover v2 is faster than Recover v1. This model brings the best upscaling fidelity for old and low quality photos.

Pre-downscaling

An action for pre-downscaling will improve working with larger images that suffer from false resolution. These images tend to be low information dense—where pixel dimensions have increased without a meaningful addition of detail. Pre-downscaling addresses this by intelligently optimizing image input before enhancement.

How it works:

• Pre-downscaling resamples the image to concentrate image density
• The result is then upscaled using AI to generate natural results
• Choose between three levels of downscale intensity

When to use Pre-downscaling:

• When images exceed 1000px on both sides
• Ideal for old JPEGs, scanned photos, or poorly upscaled content
• Select None if you prefer to skip pre-downscaling

Redefine BETA

For use with low quality or AI generated images, use Redefine to add definition and detail. You can prioritize upscaling for either realistic fidelity or creative distinction.

Using Redefine realistic

1. Import your image
2. Under the Generative header, select “Redefine realistic”
3. Choose between None or Subtle to set the level of adjustment that will be applied
4. Selecting Subtle will enable the option for directing the adjustment using the Image description
5. Use the preview controls to adjust the size of the thumbnail
   Click anywhere in the viewer to begin the preview process
   Or, select the Preview entire image button
6. Click Export to keep your enhanced image
   Or, choose to upload for Cloud rendering

Using Redefine creative

1. Import your image
2. Under the Generative header, select “Redefine creative”
3. Choose between Low, Medium, High, or Max to set the level of adjustment that will be applied
4. Use the Image description to direct the changes that will be applied to the image
5. Adjust the Texture slider to refine the results
6. Use the preview controls to adjust the size of the thumbnail
   Click anywhere in the viewer to begin the preview process
   Or, select the Preview entire image button
7. Click Export to keep your enhanced image
   Or, choose to upload for Cloud rendering

• Creativity - Low, Medium, High, Max
• Image description - Utilize this if you want to be specific about the details you're looking for. The model responds to a descriptive statement versus a directive one. For example, use the phrase "girl with red hair and blue eyes" instead of "change the girl's hair to red and make her eyes blue"
• Texture - adjust the level of detail that will be generated
