Anime image upscaler for line art, manga pages and wallpapers
Upload one illustration or one manga page. SeedVR2 enlarges it to 2K, 4K or 8K and cleans up recoverable detail. There is no anime-specific model here, so test screentones and bubble text on one page before you run a chapter.
Upscale image resolution
Upload a still, choose 2K, 4K, or 8K output, and run SeedVR2 for enlargement with light cleanup of recoverable detail.
Supports JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 20 MB. Use a direct image file URL, not a normal webpage or chat share link.
Cloud processing — no powerful computer required
Use this upscaler when the source is already fairly clear and mainly needs a larger export. It is not a deep restoration tool for severely blurred, grainy, or damaged old photos; use Old Photo Enhancer for those. Colorization is a separate task. A video screenshot can only evaluate single-frame quality—not flicker, motion, or character consistency. For cartoon footage, test the dedicated Cartoon Video Upscaler with the original video and frame rate.
Open Old Photo EnhancerBest for clear photos that mostly need a larger export.
Start with 2K for small, soft, grainy, or old photos. A 4K or 8K export is larger, but it cannot recover detail missing from the source.
Auto keeps transparent-capable sources as PNG and normal photos as JPEG.

What this upscaler does to anime art
One general restoration upscaler, no anime-specific model, and a plain list of what it treats well and what it does not.
Line art and flat colour
Clean ink lines and large flat fills are the safest content: the model enlarges edges and fills without inventing texture where the source had none.
Screentones and halftone patterns
Regular halftone dots and fine screen patterns are what a general upscaler handles least predictably: they can come back smoothed into flat grey, aliased or with visible moire. Inspect this on one test page first.
Speech bubbles and lettering
Small lettering can thicken or distort because the model reconstructs fine strokes. The Text or scanned document profile denoises and sharpens printed text, but treat bubble text as something to verify, not to trust.
One page, one illustration or a batch
JPG, PNG or WebP up to 20 MB. Run a single page to judge the settings, then repeat them for the pages that need it; nothing here reflows a whole chapter in one click.
The options searchers see, and where this page fits
Anime artwork upscalers differ in three things that matter here: whether they name an anime model, what input limit they set, and how they price a batch. The rows below quote each vendor's own page, read on 2026-09-29.
No anime-specific model here, and we say so
SeedVR2 image upscaling is a general restoration model. There is no anime, manga or line-art checkpoint to choose, so this page competes on resolution options, credit transparency and a video path rather than on a specialist model.
Images here, video next door
This page takes still images. Moving footage such as episodes or game recordings needs temporal handling, so it lives on the anime video upscaler page instead.
A single page first, a chapter later
There is no one-click chapter mode. Test one page, confirm the screentones and bubble text survive, then repeat the same settings page by page.

| This page (SeedVR2.net) | General restoration upscaler for still images at 2K/4K/8K; no anime-specific model; screentones and bubble text need one test page | 10 credits (2K), 16 (4K) or 25 (8K) per image | this page |
Credits per target resolution
The same numbers the tool shows before you submit. A 2K pass is the cheapest way to test one page; 4K and 8K cost more and add pixels, not detail the source never had.
| Target resolution | Credits per image |
|---|---|
| 2K | 10 credits |
| 4K | 16 credits |
| 8K | 25 credits |
Test one page before you run a chapter
Anime art fails in predictable places, so the order below is about finding them in a single file first.
- Step 1
Pick the page that stresses the model
Choose a page with a screentone background, a large sky gradient and small bubble text, not the cleanest page in the chapter. It is the hardest case, so the result tells you more.
- Step 2
Upload it and choose a target
JPG, PNG or WebP up to 20 MB. Start at 2K: it is 10 credits, it is the free-trial resolution, and it is enough to judge line art and halftones.
- Step 3
Compare at 100% on the four risks
Check line edges for halos, flat fills for banding, screentones for smoothing or moire, and bubble lettering for thickening. Judge those four things, not the overall sharpness.
- Step 4
Change one thing at a time
If text thickened, try the Text or scanned document profile. If halftones blurred, stop there: a different target resolution does not fix a pattern the model has already smoothed.
- Step 5
Repeat the settings you can defend
Once one page passes, run the pages that share its style. Keep the untouched source files and re-check any page with a heavy screentone or a full-page gradient.
Before you upscale a chapter
There is no anime, manga or line-art model on this page, and no toggle that turns one on. It is one general restoration upscaler applied to illustration; the honest comparison is against generic tools, not against a specialist checkpoint we do not run.
Regular halftone dots are high-frequency texture, so a general upscaler can smooth them into flat grey, alias them into moire, or sharpen them into noise. Test one page with a screentone background before you queue a chapter.
The free first image is one 2K upscale for a new signed-in account with no earlier image task, charged at 0 credits; 4K and 8K are always charged, and the free path pauses once the shared daily trial budget is spent.
Credits pay for the GPU run, not for a guaranteed result. A confirmed system or provider failure triggers a credit-return attempt, and the number is shown before you submit.

Anime image upscaler FAQ
Short answers on the model, what is free, and the difference from the video page.
Is there an anime-specific model here?
No. This is a general restoration upscaler, with no anime, manga or line-art checkpoint to select. It enlarges still images to 2K, 4K or 8K and cleans up recoverable detail, which is why line art and flat colour do well while dense screentones need a test page.
Can I upscale an anime image for free?
The first 2K image is free for a new signed-in account that has no earlier image task; it is charged at 0 credits and the site operator can switch it off. 4K and 8K always cost credits, and the free path pauses once the shared daily trial budget is spent.
What is the difference from the anime video upscaler?
This page takes still images: one illustration, one manga page. Moving footage such as episodes or game recordings needs temporal handling so frames stay consistent, and that lives on the anime video upscaler page.
Will it clean up a manga page with screentones and text?
Partly. Line art and flat shading usually survive, but regular halftone dots can smooth or moire, and small bubble lettering can thicken. Run one representative page first, and plan to fix lettering and heavy screentones by hand if the chapter depends on them.
Can I upscale a whole chapter at once?
Not in one click. The tool runs one image per submission, so a chapter means repeating the validated settings page by page. That repetition and volume is why a yearly plan sits next to the one-time credit packs.
Which target resolution should I choose for anime?
Start at 2K: it is 10 credits, it is the free-trial resolution, and a roughly 1,000px manga page doubled to 2K already prints well. Choose 4K or 8K only when the destination truly needs it, because a bigger target adds pixels, not detail the source never had.
The rest of the anime and image workflow
Stills and video are two different jobs, and the tool hub collects every upscaler.
Anime video upscaler
The moving-picture route: episodes and clips, with temporal handling instead of one still at a time.
