Resmax - Upscale AI
Real-ESRGAN Image Upscaler integrates powerful AI super-resolution models directly into Blender. It enhances both single images and full sequences—perfect for animation, rendering, and post-production.
Can't render in high resolution? Tired of spending hours rendering animations only to get blurry results? You need this lightweight, fast, and affordable addon.
A short film created in Blender with 5,711 frames at 360p was upscaled to 1920×1080 in just 5 minutes, showcasing Resmax’s incredible speed and efficiency.

- Pay attention to the image resolution and detail.
- A blurry image with high resolution may not improve—and could even look worse.
- A low-resolution image that’s sharp can improve significantly.
- ✅ Sharp but Small – Low resolution, high clarity — perfect for AI upscaling.
- ❌ Big but Blurry – High resolution, poor detail — upscaling may worsen the result.
