What Ximilar Image Upscaler is
Ximilar Image Upscaler uses AI-powered super-resolution to enlarge images in bulk through its web app or API. It offers a Classic model positioned as the lower-cost option and a GAN model for higher-quality results with improved detail. Charges depend on output image size, and GAN uses more API credits than Classic. The maximum listed upscale is 8 x, with PNG, JPG, and WebP output formats. API requests run asynchronously and can use an optional webhook for completion updates; asynchronous requests are recommended for large collections such as stock-photo databases or e-shop product images. The free plan includes 1,000 API credits per month, which expire at the end of each monthly period. Business 100K costs $69 a month, and Professional 1M costs $579 a month; other listed credit tiers have no stated price. The upscaler does not use input EXIF data and produces output without it. Ximilar says inference images are not stored, while training images uploaded in the App are stored in Amazon AWS S3.
