About Topaz Bloom

Creative upscaling that adds new detail to AI art and illustrations.

Call it with the model name topaz/bloom/upscale on POST /jobs/createTask, from $0.36.

Introduction

Creative enlargement

Expand one existing image with Bloom 2, Bloom or Bloom Realism, using an optional prompt and a creativity setting to guide newly invented detail.

Bloom request

bloom_2Latest default creative enlargement model
bloom_realismNatural photographic appearance; creativity limited to 1–4

Portrait trial

At 2K and creativity 3 without a prompt, Bloom 2 reconstructed eyes, stubble and visible skin texture from our blurred portrait. Added detail is an interpretation of the face, not proof of what the camera captured.

Left to right: Bloom 2, Bloom Realism, Bloom. Bloom 2 looks more textured; Realism gives a clearer face with slight changes in likeness; original Bloom stays softer in this trial. The three runs took about 86, 134 and 273 seconds respectively.

Creative boundaries

Bloom deliberately invents detail and can change faces, textures or small objects. Use it when that creative change is welcome. creativity must be an integer from 1–9, and only 1–4 with bloom_realism; larger Realism values are rejected. Timing varies by image and preset.

Pricing

Prices are in USD. The API uses a separate USD balance. Website credits cannot be used or transferred to it, and API funds cannot be transferred to website credits. When a task is accepted, we reserve the maximum quoted amount from your API balance. On completion, we charge for actual usage, never more than the hold, and release the remainder. If the task fails, the hold is released.

OptionUSD per image
resolution 2K$0.36
resolution 4K$1.08
resolution 8K$4.08

Send the same request body to POST /jobs/quote to see the estimated and maximum USD charge before running. A quote does not run the task or charge your balance.

API quick start

Call the Topaz Bloom API in three steps

  1. Create an API key. Sign in to PopNow and create a key in the API console. Keys start with sk-popnow-. API calls use your separate USD balance.
  2. Send the request. POST /jobs/createTask with model topaz/bloom/upscale and an input object that follows the parameter table. The response returns a task ID straight away.
  3. Get the result. Poll GET /jobs/recordInfo with the task ID, or pass a callBackUrl and we post the result to it. Download the output links when the task succeeds.
# 1. Create the task. Keep the Idempotency-Key if you retry after a network error.
export IDEMPOTENCY_KEY="$(uuidgen)"
curl -X POST https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/createTask \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
  -d '{
  "model": "topaz/bloom/upscale",
  "input": {
    "image_url": "https://media.popnow.ai/influencer/examples/marco.webp",
    "preset": "bloom_2",
    "resolution": "4k",
    "output_format": "jpeg"
  }
}'

# 2. Copy data.taskId from the response, then poll until state is succeeded, failed, canceled or expired.
TASK_ID="TASK_ID_FROM_RESPONSE"
curl "https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=$TASK_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY"

Replace the prompt and any links with your own. The API tab has the response, polling and callback reference.
