Detailing the steps to create an account, upload images, select modes, customize settings, and process images

{% hint style="info" %}
Begin using **Lupa AI Upscaler**, you need to create an account.
{% endhint %}

***

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## Upload Image

Drag and drop your image or click to browse. This is the first step before choosing any model or settings.

Lupa supports various file formats (JPG, PNG) and this step is required before you can apply any enhancements. Once the image is loaded, the interface will unlock further settings.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Model Selector

Choose between four enhancement models:

* **Creative**: Adds detail and texture
* **High Fidelity**: Sharpens low-res or blurry images
* **Flux**: Balanced, versatile mode
* **Realistic**: Converts renders into real-looking images
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Upscale Button

This is the main action button — once you've selected your model and adjusted the settings, click **Upscale** to start the AI enhancement.

\
The process may take a few seconds depending on the scale and quality settings. This step consumes credits, so be sure you're happy with the settings beforehand..
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Before/After View

On the left side of the comparison window, you'll see your **original image**.

On the right side of the comparison window, you'll see your **upscaled image.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## **Compare/reset Tools**

Located below the image preview, these tools allow you to:

* Toggle between **Slider View** and **Split View**
* Zoom in and out
* Click **Reset** to undo all applied parameters and return to the original image state

These controls are essential for fine-tuning and visual comparison.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Parameters Panel

This panel on the right shows all the settings applied to your upscale process:

* The selected **model**
* The **preset** (e.g. Subtle, Detailed...)
* And key sliders such as **Creativity**, **Resemblance**, **Fractality**, or **Dynamic** (depending on the model)
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Download

Once the upscaling is complete and you're satisfied with the results, click **Download** to save your enhanced image.\
The final output will be in high resolution and ready to use — whether for print, web, or further editing.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
