    SeedVR Upscale: change one locked still (4K, 4cr)

    SeedVR Upscale is an edit. Point at the object. A new text-to-image throws away the still you approved.

    SeedVR Upscale is an edit. Point at the object. A new text-to-image throws away the still you approved.

    The catalog: VR-optimized image upscaling. Content type image. Category edit-image. Requires an image. 4 credits. 4K max output. Qualities HD, 4K, and 8K. Aspects 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16. No audio. No duration.

    You already have the composition. This row enlarges it. It does not roll a new identity.

    4K from the approved file

    SeedVR Upscale is upscaling, not a generate. The object you point at is the whole still: more pixels, same blocking, same pack, same face. That is why it is an edit. A fresh text-to-image at "the same prompt, higher res" is a cousin of the approved plate. Legal signed the first one. Do not throw it away for a sharper stranger.

    Requires_image is true. If you only have a prompt, you are on a stills generate. Upscale after the yes.

    The AI photo editor is the instruction-edit door for "change the jacket." SeedVR is the resolution door for "keep the jacket, need 4K." The task-shaped walkthrough is upscale image resolution. Best image editing model is the ranking this edit-image card sits on. Print budgets belong on what a print-resolution AI image costs.

    VR-optimized is the described specialty. If the still is a stereoscopic or wide immersive plate, this is the named tool. If the still is a 9:16 pack shot, it still upscales — it will also enlarge every compression block you left in. Clean the source first.

    Four credits to enlarge, not to invent

    4 credits is the catalog figure. The matrix also shows a 1-credit-per-megapixel option; read the estimate. Either way you are not buying a new idea. You are buying HD, 4K, or 8K as a quality step on a file that already passed review.

    Pick the step the delivery needs:

    • HD when the still is going into a feed and was a small generate.
    • 4K when the catalog max is the brief.
    • 8K when the quality list is why you opened SeedVR, and the source can take it.

    Do not upscale a still you plan to discard. Do not generate a 1-credit Turbo sketch, skip review, and 8K it "so it looks finished." Upscale faithfully enlarges defects: grid, mush, misspelled type. The faint-grid problem is its own post. SeedVR will not un-tile a local upscale you already smeared.

    Point at the object means: this file, this change

    The change is resolution. If the object you actually wanted to change is the jacket, the sky, or the logo, that is an instruction edit, not SeedVR. If the object is "this exact still, more pixels," stay here.

    A new text-to-image throws away:

    • The hand position the client liked.
    • The kerning you already checked.
    • The crop that matches the I2V start frame.

    Upscale keeps those. Then, if you still need motion, the 4K still is a better start frame than a 1-credit sketch.

    FAQ

    Can SeedVR Upscale generate a new 4K image from a prompt?

    No. It requires an image. Category is edit-image. A prompt-only 4K still is a text-to-image row, and it will not be the still you approved.

    Why list HD, 4K, and 8K if the max output is 4K?

    Max output resolution is 4K; the quality list still includes HD, 4K, and 8K. Use the control in front of you, and do not assume 8K is a second generate. It is a quality step on the source file.

    Should I upscale before or after image-to-video?

    Lock and upscale the still if the I2V model inherits the plate's detail. Do not upscale a video generate to fix a still you never approved. The still is the object.

    Is this the same as regenerating at a higher size on a stills model?

    No. Regenerating samples a new image. SeedVR edits the locked one. Four credits here is how you keep the yes.
