Upscale a logo for print
A client sends a 400px logo and needs it on an A4 cover by tomorrow. Upscale it with Topaz AI for brochures, signage and presentations.
Short answer
First ask for a vector file (SVG, PDF, AI or EPS), because vectors scale without loss. If only a small bitmap exists, upscale it with a model made for text and flat marks. Work from print size: a logo printed 10 cm wide at 300 dpi needs about 1 180 pixels, so a 400px logo needs roughly a 3× upscale. ZELF upscales start at 4 credits.
The most common design emergency is a small, compressed logo that has to hold up at print size. Blowing it up in a normal editor gives you a blurry edge; a dedicated upscaler rebuilds the detail.
ZELF uses Topaz AI upscaling with a model you choose for the job — a "Text Refine" model for letters and flat marks, or a photo model for textured and photographic logos. The price updates with your image and scale before you run, so there are no surprises.
How to upscale a small logo for print
- 1 Upload the JPG or PNG you were sent — up to 10 MB.
- 2 Pick a model and scale. Choose "Text and logos" for crisp lettering or flat marks.
- 3 Check the quoted price, which updates with the image size and scale you choose.
- 4 Run it, then download the upscaled file for your print artwork.

Frequently asked questions
Which model should I choose for a logo?
Use "Text and logos" when the logo is lettering or flat marks. Use a photo model when it is a photographic or textured mark.
How much will it cost?
The price depends on your image size and the scale you choose, and it is shown before you run. Upscaling starts from 4 credits.
Can I upscale a photo as well as a logo?
