Overview

Dreamina Creative Upscale is ByteDance's dedicated image super-resolution model, designed specifically to enhance AI-generated content (AIGC) and low-quality photos. Built on BytePlus Vision AI infrastructure, it applies creative upscaling to produce high-fidelity 2K and 4K outputs with preserved textures, sharp edges, and rich detail — making it suitable for content creation pipelines, digital media production, and image restoration workflows.

Technical Specifications

Performance Benchmarks

- Upscales images to 2K or 4K output resolution.
- Accepts input images up to 4096×4096 px and 4.7 MB.
- Supports JPEG and PNG input formats.
- Optimized for AIGC content: preserves generative art textures and fine detail.
- Handles low-quality source images with meaningful detail reconstruction.

Architecture Breakdown

Dreamina Creative Upscale uses a deep generative super-resolution architecture tuned specifically for AI-generated imagery. Unlike traditional upscaling methods, it applies learned priors about visual structure and texture patterns to reconstruct high-frequency detail that is absent in the source image, rather than simply interpolating pixels.

  • $0.0403 / image

Core Features & Capabilities

- 2K Upscaling: Enhances image resolution to 2K output with detail preservation.
- 4K Upscaling: Produces cinema-quality 4K output from low-resolution sources.
- AIGC Optimization: Specifically tuned for AI-generated images — maintains stylistic coherence and fine textures.
- Detail Generation Control: Adjustable scale parameter (0–100) controls the degree of generated detail.
- Flexible Output Format: Returns result as a hosted URL or base64-encoded image (b64_json).
- Single-Image Processing: Processes one image per request for predictable quality output.

Comparison with Other Models

  • VS Standard Bicubic/Lanczos Upscaling: Dreamina Creative Upscale generates plausible detail via learned priors rather than interpolating existing pixels — producing visually sharper and more realistic results.
  • VS General Super-Resolution Models: Optimized specifically for AIGC content, delivering better texture fidelity on synthetic images compared to models trained primarily on photographic data.

Use cases

AI-generated images that need higher-resolution finishing: the model is documented as an image super-resolution tool that enhances AI-generated images and supports 2K and 4K output.

Low-resolution images that need detail enhancement: it is documented as enhancing low-resolution images, with creative detail generation during upscaling.

Images that need a polished upscale for production output: the documentation describes it as useful for standard upscaling to 2K and ultra-high-definition output to 4K.

How to use Dreamina Creative Upscale API

Install any OpenAI-compatible SDK, point it at api.aimlapi.com/v1, and set the model to bytedance/dreamina-creative-upscale.
import requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/images/generations",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + AIMLAPI_KEY},
    json={
      "model": "bytedance/dreamina-creative-upscale",
      "prompt": "A cat holding a sign that says hello"
    },
)
print(r.json())
const r = await fetch("https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/images/generations", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.AIMLAPI_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "model": "bytedance/dreamina-creative-upscale",
    "prompt": "A cat holding a sign that says hello"
  }),
});
console.log(await r.json());
curl -X POST https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/images/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIMLAPI_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"bytedance/dreamina-creative-upscale","prompt":"A cat holding a sign that says hello"}'

OpenAI-compatible — swap the base URL and it works with your existing SDK.
