# Increase Resolution

`POST /image/increase_resolution`

**Description**


The *Isolated Increase Resolution Route* is used to upscale the resolution of any image.

**The main difference between the regular and this isolated Increase Resolution endpoint is that you can use this endpoint without uploading or registering the image to Bria.**

**Constraints**

The Bria API currently supports only JPEG and PNG files in RGB, RGBA, or CMYK color modes. When the file is of a different type or color mode, the status code 415 will be returned. 

It's possible to increase the resolution of an image up to a total area of 8192x8192 pixels.

**Increase the Resolution of an image using the image file**


  In our documentation request example, we demonstrate how to Increase the Resolution of an image using the image URL.
  
  
  If you want to use an image from a file, follow the example below:


      import requests

      url = "https://engine.prod.bria-api.com/v1/image/increase_resolution?desired_increase=2"

      payload = {}
      files=[
        ('file',('image_name.jpeg',open('/path_to_local_file/image_name.jpeg','rb'),'image/jpeg'))
      ]
      headers = {
        'api_token': 'xxxx'
      }

      response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload, files=files)

      print(response.text)
