What is Clarity AI?
Upscale images and video with an app, an API or ComfyUI.
Who is Clarity AI best for?
Clarity AI is best for AI artists and designers who need small or low-quality images turned into large, clean files.
Product and fashion photos
The Crystal model adds resolution without inventing detail, so skin, fabric, label text and product shapes stay as they were shot.
AI-generated images
The Clarity model adds new detail that you steer with a prompt and a creativity slider, which suits artwork more than photos.
Print and large formats
Crystal can output up to 1.5 gigapixels, enough to print a small preview as a poster or billboard at 300 DPI.
Apps that need upscaling
A REST API, a ComfyUI node and hosted versions on Replicate, Fal and WaveSpeed let developers build it into their own tools.
