Pixio Magnific Upscaler - User Guide

The Pixio Magnific Upscaler allows you to generate stunning, high-quality images by customizing various parameters directly in the UI. Below is an overview of each setting to help you understand and fine-tune your results.

​
Parameters

​
Prompt

Type: Text input (Required)

Description: Enter a descriptive prompt that guides the AI in creating your desired image. For example:

  • “A serene landscape with rolling hills and a sunrise”

  • “A futuristic city skyline at night, with neon lights”

The prompt sets the visual direction and thematic elements of the final image.

​
Resolution

Type: Dropdown Default: 2k Options: 2k, 4k

Description: Select the resolution of the generated image. Higher resolutions like 4k produce more detailed images, but may take longer to process.

​
Aspect Ratio

Type: Dropdown Default: square_1_1 Options:

  • square_1_1 (1:1)

  • classic_4_3 (4:3)

  • traditional_3_4 (3:4)

  • widescreen_16_9 (16:9)

  • social_story_9_16 (9:16)

  • smartphone_horizontal_20_9 (20:9)

  • smartphone_vertical_9_20 (9:20)

  • standard_3_2 (3:2)

  • portrait_2_3 (2:3)

  • horizontal_2_1 (2:1)

  • vertical_1_2 (1:2)

  • social_5_4 (5:4)

  • social_post_4_5 (4:5)

Description: Change the shape of the image by adjusting its aspect ratio. For example, choose widescreen_16_9 for a cinematic look or portrait_2_3 for a vertical orientation.

​
Realism

Type: Toggle (On/Off) Default: On

Description: Enable this option to give your generated image a more realistic, less “AI-generated” appearance. This is ideal for photographs or scenes you want to look natural. If you’re aiming for a more fantastical image or want strict adherence to imaginative prompts, consider turning it off.

​
Creative Detailing

Type: Slider (0 to 100) Default: 33

Description: Adjust the level of micro-detail in your image.

  • Lower values: Cleaner, simpler results.

  • Higher values: More intricate and possibly more “artsy” details.

Experiment with different values to achieve the right balance between clarity and complexity.

​
Engine

Type: Dropdown Default: Automatic Options:

  • Automatic (Let the system pick the best mode)

  • Illusio (Softer illustrations, landscapes, and nature)

  • Sharpy (More realistic, detailed, slightly grainy, ideal for photographs)

  • Sparkle (A balanced engine that blends realism with a touch of softness)

Description: Select an engine based on the style and subject matter of your image. Each engine has a unique “look and feel,” so try different engines to see which one best suits your creative vision.

​
Tips for Best Results

  1. Start Simple: Begin with a straightforward prompt and lower creative detailing. Gradually increase complexity to refine your vision.

  2. Experiment: Don’t hesitate to try different aspect ratios, resolutions, and engines. Each parameter can significantly change the final look.

  3. Use Realism Wisely: Turn realism on for lifelike scenes and off for more fantastical or stylized art.

  4. Refine Iteratively: If you enable fixed generation, you can tweak your prompt or other parameters step-by-step, observing subtle changes.

By understanding and adjusting these parameters, you can unlock endless possibilities with the Pixio Magnific Upscaler, creating images that are truly unique to your style and imagination.
