AI Image Upscaler API
Easy-to-integrate LightX Upscale API automatically enhances user-uploaded images — without any manual work on the backend. Let users upload low-quality images on your website or app, and they’ll be instantly transformed into high-quality visuals on your platform.
Ideal users of the upscaler API
Your seller-uploaded low-resolution product photos will automatically become high-quality, so they don't pixelate when a buyer zooms in.

Frequently Asked Questions
When you send a low-resolution image to the LightX Upscale API, the image is securely uploaded to our server. It is then processed and turned into a high-resolution image, increasing its size and enhancing its quality. The API returns a high-resolution version of the image, ready to be used on your website or app or for printing. This entire process is automatic and takes only a few seconds.
