Enhance & Upscale

Each Quality Enhancement operation has been designed based on product use cases to ensure superior results that meet product requirements.

The Decompress operation is ideal when you need to remove distortion and artifacts caused by image compression. Together with the Quality Enhancement operations, it effectively prepares an image for further upscaling.

Resize & Expand

Image Resizing allows you to increase the resolution of your image to any size without losing quality, while adjusting the aspect ratio at the same time.

Choose from fit options to place your image on the required canvas:

Wide side: expands the wider side of the image to fit the edge of the canvas

Short Side: stretches the shorter side of the image to the edge of the canvas

Canvas: places the input image on the canvas defined by the width and height. The aspect ratio of the input image doesn't change. Extra space is filled with the background color

Crop:
smart - a content-aware cropping mode that detects an object in a photo and uses it as the center of the cropping area.
center - a basic cropping mode that crops from the center of the image, regardless of what is in the image.

Outpaint: generates a coherent background for an image to fit specified dimensions, scaling an image until the larger side reaches the edge of the canvas defined by width and height first, so that generation is symmetrical on either the left-right or top-bottom sides.

Correct Colors

The HDR feature ensures your photos are perfectly lit with more color and detail in both bright and dark areas

Manual Adjustments lets you drill down into an image's histogram to balance exposure, contrast, saturation, and sharpness

Remove background

Address eCommerce, marketplaces, and automotive use cases.

For eCommerce and Marketplaces, set Remove Background to create transparent or any color backgrounds using the background color feature with hexadecimal values.

For automotive use, set Background removal and Background blur to the Car category and select the type and level of background blur based on visual requirements.

Padding

By controlling the amount of space around the item, you can achieve a consistent look for visuals across your platform. This is essential for eCommerce where the border around the item is critical to the visual experience.

Blur background

Adjust the background of the image to suit your specific needs. Choose from general background blur or blur car license to ensure privacy. Define the amount of background blur (low, medium, or high) and the lens that would meet your expectations.

License plate blur allows you to automatically turn on privacy for your car shots.
