SeedVR2AI image upscaler
Restores while it enlarges — images to 8K, clips to 4K. Pay only for the takes you keep — kill the rest for a full refund.
SeedVR2 is ByteDance's diffusion restoration model, made to enlarge a still while repairing softness and compression instead of only interpolating pixels. On Elyum it upscales images to 2K, 4K, 6K, or 8K. It is the studio pick when the source is already a little tired: web JPEGs, screen captures, and other files that fall apart when you simply stretch them.
Use it when you need a larger still from a real file you already have: product photography, archived portraits, UI captures, or a single frame headed for print. Plans start at Free with up to 150 credits once (our algorithm may grant them), then Plus $9/mo, Pro $29/mo, and Ultra $69/mo, with the same credit balance across 50+ models.
SeedVR2 pricing on Elyum
| Resolution | Credits / second | 5s clip |
|---|---|---|
| image, per ×2 pass (2K = 1 pass from a 1080p-class source, 4K = 2, 6K/8K = 3) | $0.03 | |
| clip to 2K, per second | 30 credits · $0.30 | |
| clip to 4K, per second | 60 credits · $0.60 |
1 credit = $0.01. The struck-through number is the pre-cut rate — the discount is already in the live price. You only pay for takes you keep; previews and killed takes cost nothing. Full plan details on the pricing page.
Why SeedVR2 is good
SeedVR2 is a restoration model, not a resize with a sharpen pass. Softness and compression are the cases it is built for, which is why Elyum tags it for tired or heavily saved images.
On Elyum you choose 2K, 4K, 6K, or 8K. A 1080p-class source takes one ×2 pass for 2K, two for 4K, and three for 6K or 8K.
ByteDance released SeedVR2 as a one-step restoration model using diffusion adversarial post-training. That public design is about recovering detail without a long sampling chain.
Each upscale returns as a free take. Keep the useful results and credits charge then; kill the rest and Elyum refunds the full amount. Nobody else refunds bad generations.
Kept SeedVR2 takes download at full quality with no watermark. Commercial use is included, from the web studio or through Elyum's MCP server and REST API.
A ×2 pass is {{price seedvr2 per ×2 pass (2K = 1 pass from a 1080p-class source, 4K = 2, 6K/8K = 3)}}. List rates run about 20% under comparable platforms, and killed takes cost nothing.
