Smart Image Enhancement API
APIAI-powered image upscaling & detail enhancement via super-resolution algorithms
Overview
The Smart Image Enhancement API offers RESTful POST endpoints (e.g., /enhance) to upscale images and add fine details using multiple super-resolution algorithms (including ESRGAN variants). It accepts inputs as base64-encoded strings or direct image URLs, returning enhanced outputs in JSON format (with processed image links or base64 data). Key use cases include improving product images for e-commerce listings, enhancing blurry document scans for readability, restoring old photos, and optimizing visuals for marketing. Responses include metadata like processing time and quality metrics, and it supports batch processing for multiple images in one request.
Example Integration (JavaScript)
