Magnific
Generative AI upscaler that hallucinates realistic detail at up to 10K
Acquired — still operating
acquired by Freepik 2024
About
Magnific is an AI image upscaler that uses generative diffusion to rebuild detail at 2x to 16x, up to 10,000 by 10,000 pixels, with a Creativity slider that controls how much new detail the AI invents. It works on both AI-generated art and real photographs, and Freepik acquired it in 2024 before rebranding the whole toolkit under the Magnific name in 2026. The generated detail can look stunning but is not faithful reconstruction, so it suits creative work more than forensic fidelity.

- Generative upscaling to 10K resolution
- Creativity slider for detail hallucination
