1-Click Batch Upscale: Process up to 20 Images Effortlessly in Image Upscaler

The Batch Upscale feature lets you process multiple images in one go — up to 20 images at a time — while maintaining high quality and flexibility. You can either apply the same AI model and settings to all images with one click or customize different settings for each image individually. This feature saves time and ensures consistent, professional results across your entire image set.

💡 What is [Apply to all]?

The Apply to all button automatically copies your current settings — including AI model, upscale rate, and face preferences— to all imported images.
Use it to ensure all photos follow the same parameters for a unified result.
Alternatively, you can assign different models or adjustments to individual images before batch processing.

🧭 How to Use

  1. Import Images
    Add up to 20 images. Drag and drop them into the workspace or click Add.
  2. Set Upscale Rate or Resolution
    Choose a preset scale (e.g., 2×, 4×) or define a custom output resolution.custom resolution
  3. Select AI Model
    Pick an AI model best suited to the image type — for example:

    • Photo – Soft and natural for portraits or everyday photos

    • Iris – Enhances fine textures such as hair, fur, and eyes

    • Standard – Ideal for landscapes and architecture

    • Anime – Designed for illustrations, paintings, and anime-style art

  4. Enable Face Recovery (Optional)
    Turn on Face Recovery if your images include blurry faces that you want to enhance. It helps restore facial details and smooth imperfections.
  5. Preview and Adjust Settings
    Process one image first to check results. Fine-tune model strength, upscale ratio, or face recovery if needed.
  6. Apply to All (Optional)
    Once satisfied, click [Apply to all] to copy your current settings to all remaining unprocessed images.Or you can right-click the current image from the file list then click the [Apple settings to all images] button.You can still modify individual images afterward if they require different models or adjustments.
  7. Select Images for Batch Processing
    Click Select all button to include the entire batch (the processed image will not be processed again even checked on) or choose the specific images you want to process.
  8. Start Processing
    Click [Start processing] to begin batch upscaling. Each image will be processed in sequence based on its assigned model and settings.
  9. Monitor Progress and Review Results
    Follow progress in real time. When finished, review each result and export your enhanced images.

✅ Best Practices

  • Preview Before Batch Processing: Always test settings on one image before applying them to all.
  • Mix Models for Different Image Types: Choose different AI models for portraits, artwork, or architecture to get optimal results.
  • Balance Quality and Speed: Higher upscale ratios and larger original images increase processing time.
  • Try Cloud Process for Heavy Tasks: If your PC is slow or running low on GPU/CPU memory, switch to Cloud Process for faster performance.(Requires Pro plan and consumes Nero Credits.)

🛠️ Troubleshooting

  • Face Recovery Not Available
    This feature requires a Pro or higher subscription. Upgrade to unlock advanced facial enhancement.
  • Task Failed or Processing Stopped
    • Check your internet connection and ensure the batch does not exceed 20 images.
    • If your PC is under heavy load or lacks GPU resources, try using the Cloud Process mode for stable and faster results.(Available for Pro users; each image consumes Nero Credits.)
  • Inconsistent Results Across Images
    Confirm that the correct AI model and settings are applied via [Apply to all], or adjust individually if image types vary.
  • Slow Performance
    Close other demanding applications or background processes. For best speed, use Cloud Process or reduce batch size.

FAQ – Saving Time When the Processing Takes Too Long

1. Which AI model should I choose for faster processing?

Use the Fast model whenever possible—it’s explicitly designed for quicker upscaling, offering a good compromise between speed and quality.

2. How can I avoid upscaling more than necessary?

  • Use Clip Selection to upscale only specific portions of a video instead of the entire file. This greatly reduces processing time.
  • Always run a Preview on a short segment (1–3 seconds) to fine-tune settings before processing the full video.

3. Can I queue multiple videos to process them efficiently?

Yes—use Batch Processing to queue several videos. You can let the software run in the background, or even overnight, to save active work time.

4. How can I improve hardware utilization to speed things up?

  • Ensure your system meets or exceeds the recommended hardware specs, especially a modern GPU with sufficient VRAM (e.g., NVIDIA RTX 3060 or AMD RX 6700 XT with 12 GB VRAM for 4K–8K upscaling).
  • Close all unnecessary apps to free up memory and reduce system load. Pro-tip: Restart your PC before launching a large upscaling job.
  • Confirm your GPU drivers and DirectX 11 (or higher) support are up to date to avoid bottlenecks.
  • Enable hardware (GPU) acceleration if supported—users note significant speed increases with compatible NVIDIA/AMD cards.

5. How should I structure my workflow for the fastest turnaround?

  1. Import your video.
  2. Use Clip Selection to isolate the relevant section.
  3. Pick the Fast AI model.
  4. Set desired output resolution.
  5. Run a Preview to confirm your choices.
  6. Add to Batch Queue and process when idle.

Quick Summary Table

Strategy What to Do
Choose Fast model Prioritize speed if high-detail isn’t necessary
Use Clip Selection Upscale only needed parts, not whole video
Run a Preview Test settings on a short segment before full processing
Utilize Batch Processing Queue up jobs and let them run in the background
Maximize Hardware Enable GPU acceleration, use recommended hardware specs, close other apps
