Ximilar Image Upscaler
Ximilar Image Upscaler enlarges images in bulk using AI-powered super-resolution, through a web app or API.
What Ximilar Image Upscaler is
Ximilar Image Upscaler enlarges images in bulk using AI-powered super-resolution, through a web app or API. It lists PNG, JPG, and WebP output formats and a maximum upscale of 8 x. The API offers a Classic model described as the lower-cost choice and a GAN model for higher-quality upscaling with improved detail; GAN uses more API credits. Charges depend on output image size. API requests are asynchronous and can use an optional webhook for completion updates, a setup the company recommends for large collections such as stock-photo databases or e-shop product images. The free plan includes 1,000 API credits monthly, which expire at the end of each monthly period. Business 100K costs $69 a month and includes 100,000 credits monthly; Professional 1M costs $579 a month and includes 1,000,000 credits monthly. Other listed credit tiers have no stated price. The upscaler does not use input EXIF data and produces output without EXIF data. Ximilar says inference images are not stored and its servers and data center are in the EU.
