# Image Upscaling
Upscale and enhance images via [inference.sh](https://inference.sh) CLI.

## Quick Start
```bash
curl -fsSL https://cli.inference.sh | sh && infsh login
infsh app run infsh/real-esrgan --input '{"image_url": "https://your-image.jpg"}'
```
> **Install note:** The [install script](https://cli.inference.sh) only detects your OS/architecture, downloads the matching binary from `dist.inference.sh`, and verifies its SHA-256 checksum. No elevated permissions or background processes. [Manual install & verification](https://dist.inference.sh/cli/checksums.txt) available.
## Available Upscalers
| Model | App ID | Best For |
|-------|--------|----------|
| Topaz Image Upscaler | `falai/topaz-image-upscaler` | Professional quality, any image |
## Examples
### Upscale Any Image
```bash
infsh app run falai/topaz-image-upscaler --input '{"image_url": "https://low-res-image.jpg"}'
```
### Workflow: Generate and Upscale
```bash
# 1. Generate image with FLUX Klein (fast)
infsh app run falai/flux-2-klein-lora --input '{"prompt": "landscape painting"}' > image.json
# 2. Upscale the result
infsh app run falai/topaz-image-upscaler --input '{"image_url": "<url-from-step-1>"}'
```
## Use Cases
- **AI Art**: Upscale generated images for print
- **Old Photos**: Restore and enhance resolution
- **Web Images**: Prepare for high-DPI displays
- **Print**: Increase resolution for large prints
- **Thumbnails**: Create high-res versions
