Resolution control & upscaling AI renderings

Last updated: April 28, 2026

Motif gives you control over the resolution of generated images, both at the time of generation and after the fact via upscaling.


Resolution at generation

You can set the resolution of your render to 1k or 2k before generating. To access this setting, click the image you want to render to open the rendering toolbar, then select your desired resolution.

Upscaling after generation

You can upgrade a rendered image to 4k resolution:

  1. Select the generated image on the board

  2. Open the Properties panel for the image

  3. Scroll to the bottom and click Upscale

Note: If the Upscale option is greyed out, the image is already at 4K.

Saving at a specific resolution

You can also save a rendered image at a custom resolution:

  1. Select the rendered image

  2. Right-click and choose Save As

  3. Select your desired output resolution

Recommended workflow

For efficiency, generate at 1K while exploring different renders, styles, and prompts. Once you've found the render you want to keep, use Upscale to bring it to 4K for final output.
