Upscale to 2K or 4K resolution in a few steps.
Sizing a photo for a 2K monitor, a 4K display, or print? Adobe Firefly adds detail as it increases the pixel count, so edges and textures stay clear at the new size for free.
Prepare images for print and display.
A higher pixel count gives posters, canvas prints, and wall displays more detail to work with. You don't have to worry about soft edges with the image upscaler.
Combine upscaling with other tools.
Widen your canvas with Generative Expand, then upscale the finished image so the whole scene stays sharp at 2K or 4K.
