Recommended Upscaler

Our recommended upscaler to use with DAZ AI Studio and rendered artwork in general is Topaz Gigapixel

DAZ AI studio has limited final resolution with it’s generated images (2048 x 2048), but these can be enhanced and enlarged up to 600% further with Gigapixel.

Gigapixel also includes specialized models for enhancing and scaling up computer-generated imagary, allowing you to turn lower scale images into useful and usable assets for your projects.
