Product Image Upscale connects your WordPress & WooCommerce store to the
productimageupscale.com service, letting you upscale images at 2x, 4x, or 8x automatically via Auto-Pilot on product save, directly from the WooCommerce Product Editor, via Global Bulk Actions on your product catalog, or right inside the WordPress Media Library.
Whether you are running a high-volume WooCommerce store or any WordPress site that demands crisp, studio-grade imagery, this plugin automates the visual enhancement process completely.
When images are upscaled, the plugin sends them to the Product Image Upscale AI engine, which restores high-frequency textures, sharpens edges, and eliminates blur without introducing artifacts. For total flexibility, store owners can choose between replacing existing image files or non-destructive Safe Duplication (generating new media attachments while preserving originals).
Features
- Catalog Image Audit & Scanning — Instant catalog scan in the Bulk Upscale modal and dedicated audit tools that automatically detect low-resolution images across your product catalog on page load.
- Customizable Resolution Threshold — Set your custom low-resolution detection threshold (from 500px up to 4K / 4096px) in settings to match your store's image standards.
- Real-Time Live UI Feedback — Live success badges, real-time progress indicators, and dynamic selection counts in the modal without needing a page refresh.
- Auto-Pilot Background Sync — Automatically detect low-resolution product images whenever you publish or update a WooCommerce product, and queue AI upscaling in the background via WooCommerce Action Scheduler.
- Customizable Auto-Pilot Notifications — Tailor admin alerts on product save to your preference: Only when images are queued (silent on routine edits), Completely Silent, or Always notify.
- Smart Low-Res Filtering — Automatically target images below a customizable threshold (default 1000px, up to 4K) while skipping already high-resolution product photography to save time and API quota.

How It Works
- Install the plugin and enter your API key from productimageupscale.com.
- Auto-Pilot (Hands-Free): Enable Auto-Pilot Background Sync in settings. Whenever you create or edit products, low-resolution images are detected and automatically enhanced in the background.
- From WooCommerce Product Edit: Edit any product, scroll down to the "AI Product Image Upscaler" meta box, and upscale individual images or batch process them all at once.
- From WooCommerce Products List: Select multiple products, choose "Upscale Images with AI" from Bulk Actions, review the scanned image breakdown in the modal, and upscale live or queue in the background.
- From Catalog Image Audit: Navigate to Media > Image Audit to run a comprehensive catalog health check, instantly inspect image resolutions across all products, and batch queue flagged items.
- From the Media Library: Navigate to Media, click "Upscale" on any image or use Bulk Actions.
- The plugin sends the image to the API, receives the enhanced version, and depending on your settings, either replaces the original file or safely duplicates it as a new media attachment.
Third-Party Service
This plugin relies on the
Product Image Upscale external service to process images.
When upscaling is performed, the following data is sent to the Product Image Upscale API:
- The public URL or uploaded image file
- Your selected upscale factor (2x, 4x, or 8x)
- Your selected texture type (Model, Fabric, Leather, or None)
Data is sent only when an administrator initiates an upscale or enables the optional Auto-Pilot Background Sync on product save. No data is sent without administrator configuration.
Requirements:
- An active account at productimageupscale.com
- A valid API key (available from the Integrations page in your dashboard)
