Realistic HD Upscaling
- A 960×540px image can be upscaled to 1920×1080px (2×) with excellent results
- A 640×360px image upscaled to 1920×1080px (3×) will show some softness
- A 480×270px image to 1920×1080px (4×) will require significant AI sharpening
- True HD quality requires starting from a minimum of 960×540px for Full HD
When "HD" Cannot Be Achieved
Upscaling a 100×100px image to 1920×1080px does not create genuine HD content — it creates a large, blurry image. If the source image is very small, the best option is to find the original source at a higher resolution or use a background, texture, or gradient as the HD image instead.
