Magnific
AI upscaler and enhancer that hallucinates realistic detail.
Last updated · Filed under Image Editing & Enhancement
About this tool
Magnific is an AI image upscaler and enhancer known for adding photorealistic detail rather than simply increasing pixel count. Its core Upscaler can take small or low-quality images and produce highly detailed, high-resolution versions, with creative sliders like Creativity, HDR and Resemblance to control how much the model is allowed to invent. Magnific Relight changes lighting in a scene from a text prompt or reference image, and Magnific Style Transfer applies a chosen visual style to an image while preserving its structure. The tool is heavily used by concept artists, photographers, real estate marketers and AI illustrators to clean up and elevate AI-generated or low-resolution source images. Magnific was acquired by Freepik in 2024 and now also powers parts of Freepik's broader AI suite, while keeping a standalone subscription product.
