Frequently Asked Questions ​

How much does the Magnific Upscaler cost?

The cost per image upscale is based on the output image area in pixels. This depends on two key factors:

* The dimensions of the input image
* The upscale factor applied (e.g.: 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x)

The larger the output image area, the higher the cost per upscale. Our pricing tiers are applied based on the final output size, so you have complete transparency and control over your usage.

Some examples:

| Input Size | Output Size | Upscale Factor | Price |
| ---------- | ----------- | -------------- | ----- |
| 640x480    | 1280x960    | 2x             | €0.10 |
| 640x480    | 2560x1920   | 4x             | €0.20 |
| 640x480    | 5120x3840   | 8x             | €0.50 |
| 1280x720   | 2560x1440   | 2x             | €0.10 |
| 1280x720   | 5120x2880   | 4x             | €0.40 |
| 1920x1080  | 3840x2160   | 2x             | €0.20 |

The pricing structure ensures that you only pay for the level of upscaling you need.
