How much can an AI image upscaler actually recover?
It recovers detail that is present but smeared — fabric weave, stitching, print edges, hair strands — and it will not invent detail that was never captured. An 800 px product shot upscales well; a 200 px thumbnail does not, because there is nothing left to resolve. Output is 4× the pixel count, and the source keeps its exact framing.
