Upscale images in Figma

Upscale images with local AI using Boost resolution, while keeping the Figma layer at its current display size.

Upscale images locally to increase their pixel resolution while keeping the inserted layer at its current display size.

Video Tutorial: Upscale images and boost resolution in Figma
Follow the step-by-step tutorial.
  1. Choose Local AI, then select the Boost resolution tab.
  2. Choose 2× resolution or 4× resolution and a processing option. Automatic prefers graphics processing when available, with CPU fallback.
  3. Choose Boost resolution. On first use, TinyImage automatically downloads the approximately 4.6 MB Gentle model, which preserves more original texture, then processes the image. Later uses reuse the model while the plugin is open.
  4. The editor preview shows the boosted result. Inspect it at 100%, and use Before or Compare to check it against the pixels immediately before boosting, including your existing edits. You can cancel the download or processing without changing the image.

Your images stay on your device. Current edits become part of the enhanced pixels; History restores the earlier image and settings. Output is capped at 4096 pixels per side. Inserting keeps the current display size in Figma; downloads use the enhanced resolution. Crop & resize sets new insertion dimensions.

After a successful boost, the button shows Resolution boosted and is disabled for that image. To choose a different resolution, undo the boost in History, then choose the new resolution. Cropping and other edits do not enable another boost. Reset all edits or opening another image enables it again. Saved projects retain this status.
