Clarity 8K AI image upscaler
Clarity upscales stills by 2x or 4x and is the upscaler that opens by default. It stays paid on every plan. Compare the credit prices below.
Best for
Clarity is the default image upscaler in Framings and the middle option between AuraSR and SUPIR. You choose 2x or 4x. The name Clarity 8K is the product label. The controls are those two scales, not a free-form size slider. It has a credit price on Free, Essential, Creator, and Power Studio.
Controls and pricing
Use Clarity after Flux, Seedream, Nano Banana, or SDXL when the image needs a stronger enlarge than a quick scale. It is the model the upscaler selects when you first open the screen. Switch to AuraSR if you are on Creator or Power Studio and want the zero-credit scale instead.
How to use it
Open the image upscaler. Clarity is already selected. Pick 2x or 4x and run it. Compare one 2x result before you spend the 4x price. The table lists both scales on the Free plan and on Creator. Those two prices match, because Clarity is not waived on paid plans.
Where it fits
Do not send video here. The video upscaler uses ByteDance 4K and Real-ESRGAN. If the still needs a new background rather than a larger file, use the background tool instead of an upscale.
Good to know
Because Clarity opens first, it is easy to spend its price when you meant to use AuraSR. Check the model name before you run a batch of stills. On Creator and Power Studio, that check is the difference between a zero-credit AuraSR enlarge and a paid Clarity enlarge of the same 2x or 4x scale.
Also worth knowing
Clarity is the middle enlarge: more reconstruction than AuraSR, less than SUPIR, and a credit price on every plan. Use it for images that will be seen at the new size, and keep AuraSR for the files you only need to be bigger. Check the name on the screen, because Clarity is what opens first. 2x and 4x are the only scales, and both stay paid on Creator and Power Studio.
