Upscaled creator artwork with crisp detail for social media and YouTube thumbnails

Creators chain tools — Midjourney, Canva, CapCut — and end up with 1080 px masters that platforms recompress. YouTube recommends 1280×720 minimum for thumbnails but crisp 1920×1080 survives TV and search sidebar better. Instagram carousels exported from design tools often ship soft on desktop feeds.

By content type

  • AI art thumbnails: Anime model on Pro, 4× from 1024 px sources.
  • Talking-head thumbnails: Face model for portrait frames; General for b-roll stills.
  • Quote cards and slides: General at 2×–4× after final typography lock-in.
  • Podcast cover art: upscale before uploading to Spotify — avoids platform upsample.

Free tier 2× is enough to A/B two thumbnail variants daily; scale to Pro when you batch a content calendar weekly.
