7 parameters · 1 required · 6 optional
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
image | string | Required | The input image to be processed |
seed | integer | Optional | The random seed used for the generation process. |
noise_scale | number | Optional | The noise scale to use for the generation process. · Min: 0 · Max: 1 · Default: 0.1 |
upscale_mode | string | Optional | The mode to use for the upscale. If 'target', the upscale factor will be calculated based on the target resolution. If 'factor', the upscale factor will be used directly. · Options: target, factor · Default: "factor" targetfactor |
output_format | string | Optional | The format of the output image. · Options: png, jpeg · Default: "png" pngjpeg |
upscale_factor | number | Optional | Upscaling factor to be used. Will multiply the dimensions with this factor when `upscale_mode` is `factor`. · Min: 1 · Max: 10 · Default: 2 |
target_resolution | string | Optional | The target resolution to upscale to when `upscale_mode` is `target`. · Options: 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 2160p · Default: "1080p" 720p1080p1440p2160p |

Async Workflow
This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.
- Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an
id - Poll — GET /v1/run/{id} until status is
completed,failed, ortimeout - Retrieve — Read

SeedVR2 Seamless Image Upscaler
bytedance/seedvr/upscale/image/seamless restores and enlarges a still image while suppressing seams, tiling boundaries, and texture discontinuities that become obvious at higher resolution. SeedVR2 combines detail reconstruction with identity and composition preservation, so faces, typography, edges, and repeated patterns remain connected instead of looking independently sharpened. This combination makes the model a practical choice when the creative outcome depends on those qualities rather than on a generic media conversion.
For production work, Its seamless mode is particularly useful for large canvases and texture-rich artwork, where ordinary upscalers can reveal patch borders or inconsistent grain. The result is most reliable when the source material and creative brief clearly describe the intended subject, progression, visual or sonic character, and the qualities that must remain unchanged.
Highlights
Seam-aware enlargement minimizes patch boundaries across broad, continuous surfaces.
Detail reconstruction recovers fine texture without simply increasing edge contrast.
Content preservation keeps the source composition and recognizable subjects stable.
Restoration handles compression softness and low-resolution degradation during the upscale.

When to Use
| ✅ Good fit | ❌ Consider alternatives |
|---|---|
| The model's named workflow matches the source material and intended output | A different input modality or model route is required |
| A managed asynchronous result is suitable for the production pipeline | A synchronous, interactive editor is essential |
| The documented controls cover the required duration, framing, or format | The project needs controls outside this endpoint's schema |
| Creative iteration benefits from a repeatable request structure | Exact deterministic pixels, frames, geometry, or samples are mandatory |
| A finished downloadable media asset is the desired deliverable | Editable source layers or a native project file are required |
Prompt Guide
For image-conditioned generation, state the intended result first, then add the subject or source treatment, progression, style, and delivery constraints. Keep one creative variable per phrase, use the documented field names for controls, and change one setting at a time when comparing results.
