Frequently asked questions

How large can I upscale?

The AI image upscaler offers 2x and 4x enlargement modes. A 2x pass works well for moderate print size increases, while 4x suits low-resolution source files that need to reach poster or banner dimensions. After upscaling, always verify the result using the DPI resolution checker to confirm you meet the 300 DPI standard required for sharp output through Cheap RUSH Printing.

Will it remove artifacts?

Yes. The AI image upscaler includes artifact reduction that smooths compression noise, JPEG block patterns, and edge halos introduced by previous downsizing. This recovery is most effective on images compressed once; heavily recompressed files may still show residual artifacts after processing. Run a test upscale on a cropped section before committing the full image to your print layout.

Is it good for ecommerce photos?

Great choice for both ecommerce and print catalog workflows. Product photos that look acceptable at web thumbnail size often lack enough resolution for brochure or postcard layouts. The AI image upscaler fills in the missing detail so the same image serves online listings and print pieces ordered through Cheap RUSH Printing without scheduling a new product photo shoot.

Does it keep transparency?

Transparency depends on the output format you select. Start with a PNG source file that already has an alpha channel and choose PNG as the export format to preserve transparency through the upscale process. Exporting as JPEG will flatten transparency to white. After upscaling, open the PNG in your layout application and confirm transparent areas look correct before finalizing artwork.

Can your team do this for me instead of using the online tool?

Yes. The browser tool is free and private, but if you would rather not rely on it alone, upload your files via our complimentary file uploader and request Human + AI help with “Upscaler”. Our prepress team will review manually — with AI assistance — and reply for free.
