# Upscaling to 4K
`edit_image` supports upscaling. APImage generates at SD, HD, Full HD and 4K, and upscaling is how you get an existing image — supplied, legacy, or generated small — up to what a marketplace or a print job needs.
The important limit: **upscaling adds pixels, not information.** It makes a small sharp image into a large sharp image. It does not make a blurry image sharp.
## When you need the resolution
| Use | Minimum | Preferred |
|---|---|---|
| Marketplace main image | 1000px+ | **1600px+ for zoom** |
| Amazon zoom feature | 1600px on the longest side | 2000px+ |
| Print and packaging | 300dpi at final size | 4K master |
| Web hero | Full HD | 4K if it'll be cropped |
| Social | HD | Full HD |
| Master for cropping into ratios | — | **4K** |
**Zoom is the one that catches people.** Several marketplaces only enable their zoom viewer above a threshold, and listings with zoom convert better. An image at 999px doesn't just look smaller — it silently disables a conversion feature.

"label, colour and proportions. Increase detail in fabric "
"texture and label print. No changes to composition or "
"lighting."
)
```
Two clauses that matter:
**"Preserve the product exactly."** Upscaling models invent detail, and invented detail on a product is a misrepresentation. Constrain it.
**Name where detail should inc
