Credit cost scales with output size.
When to Use
Source image is too small for desired print size (e.g., 500px image for 12" print)
Before sending to digital textile printers requiring 300 DPI minimum
Woven/knit fabrics need thread-level detail preserved during upscaling
Low-quality sources need AI detail recovery with textile-aware enhancement
Pro Tips
Start with Upscale
Try Upscale mode first for high-quality originals. Use AI Enhanced for low-res sources needing detail recovery.
Match DPI to Print
72 DPI for web, 150 DPI for large format, 300 DPI for standard print, 600 DPI for fine detail.
Textile Best Practice
Use "Less" creativity + "Detailed" style for production textiles. Preserves 95% of original pattern integrity.
Auto Detection
AI automatically detects fabric type (woven, knit, lace, etc.) and adjusts parameters. No manual tuning needed.

Anti-Blur
AI Enhanced 4 CreditsRestore clarity to blurry images using AI deblurring. Fix out-of-focus scans, motion blur, and camera shake before production.
Options & Settings
When to Use
Scanned designs that came out slightly blurry
Photos of fabric swatches taken with camera shake
Old archive images that have lost sharpness over time
Pro Tips
Don't Over-Sharpen
Start with 40-50% sharpening. Too much creates ugly halos around edges that show in print.
Textile Preset First
Always try the Textile preset first - it's optimized to preserve fabric pattern details.
Combine with Upscale
For best results, deblur first, then upscale. This order preserves more authentic detail.

Download the final tile as PNG at your chosen DPI. The result works directly with Seamless Checker or print workflows.
When to Use
Composing floral or botanical patterns from individual hand-drawn motifs
Creating geometric repeat tiles from basic shape elements
Building conversational prints by arranging multiple motif types
Rapidly iterating on layout variations for client presentations
Combining AI-generated motifs (from Pattern Generator) into custom arrangements
Pro Tips
Transparent PNGs
Use Background Remover first to create clean cutouts. Transparent motifs layer beautifully and give professional results.
Edge Wrapping
Place motifs near canvas edges — they'll wrap to the opposite side, creating seamless transitions when tiled.
Scale Variation
Mix 2-3 sizes of the same motif for natural depth. Large flowers in back, small ones in front.
Scatter First
Start with scatter mode for an organic base layout, then fine-tune individual motif positions manually.
