How to Download Original Size Upscaled AI Images with Apple Intelligence

Select Language:

If you’re selling AI-generated images online, you’ve probably noticed that even if you upscale your images before selling—say, doubling or quadrupling the size—the buyer usually ends up downloading the original, smaller version. This can be frustrating because you’ve put effort into making the images look better at higher resolutions, only for your customers to receive the lower-quality files.

Here’s a simple way to make sure your buyers get the higher-resolution images you’ve created:

First, focus on the way you’re sharing the files. Many platforms automatically provide the original image instead of the upscaled one. To fix this, after upscaling your images, save the larger versions as separate files with clear names like “MyImage_2x” or “MyImage_4x.” Then, upload and deliver these larger files directly to your customers.

Next, check how the files are being uploaded. Some online marketplaces or email systems might automatically send the original file or compress the images. To avoid this, ensure you’re manually attaching or sending the upscaled images instead of relying on automatic delivery options.

If you’re using a specific platform or software, it’s worth checking whether there are settings that control what size gets sent or downloaded. Sometimes, the platform defaults to the original images, but there might be an option to change this by setting the maximum download size or choosing which version to deliver.

Finally, always communicate clearly with your buyers. Let them know they should expect the higher-resolution images and explain how to ensure they receive them. A quick note or instruction can prevent confusion and improve their experience.

For your setup, since you’re using a 24-inch iMac M1 2021 and Sequoia 15.6.1, this process should be straightforward. Just make sure that the files you upload are the upscaled versions, and double-check the delivery method to confirm the higher-quality images are what’s being shared.

By following these steps, you can make sure your customers get the polished, high-resolution images you’ve worked hard to create.
