fal-upscale

A tool that uses AI services from fal.ai to increase the resolution of images and videos.

In plain words
What is it for?
Upscaling images by two or four times and increasing video resolution with a selected image or video model.
Why use it?
It helps make small or low-resolution media larger while preserving or enhancing visible detail.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

fal-upscale scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/upscale.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 165 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

fal.ai Upscale

Upscale and enhance image resolution using state-of-the-art AI models.

How It Works

  1. User provides image URL and optional scale factor
  2. Script selects appropriate upscaling model
  3. Sends request to fal.ai API
  4. Returns upscaled image URL

Image Upscale Models

Model Scale Best For
fal-ai/aura-sr 4x General upscaling, fast
fal-ai/clarity-upscaler 2-4x Detail preservation
fal-ai/creative-upscaler 2-4x Creative enhancement

Video Upscale Models

Model Notes
fal-ai/video-upscaler General purpose
fal-ai/topaz/upscale/video Premium quality
fal-ai/bria/video/increase-resolution Fast
fal-ai/flashvsr Real-time
fal-ai/seedvr/upscale/video High fidelity
fal-ai/bytedance-upscaler Good balance
fal-ai/simalabs/sima-video-upscaler-lite Lightweight

Usage

bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-upscale/scripts/upscale.sh [options]

Arguments:

  • --image-url - URL of image to upscale (required)
  • --model - Model ID (defaults to fal-ai/aura-sr)
  • --scale - Upscale factor: 2 or 4 (default: 4)

Examples:

# Image upscale with AuraSR (4x, fast)
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-upscale/scripts/upscale.sh \
  --image-url "https://example.com/image.jpg"

# Image upscale with Clarity (detail preservation)
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-upscale/scripts/upscale.sh \
  --image-url "https://example.com/image.jpg" \
  --model "fal-ai/clarity-upscaler" \
  --scale 2

# Video upscale (general purpose)
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-upscale/scripts/upscale.sh \
  --video-url "https://example.com/video.mp4" \
  --model "fal-ai/video-upscaler"

# Video upscale (premium quality)
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-upscale/scripts/upscale.sh \
  --video-url "https://example.com/video.mp4" \
  --model "fal-ai/topaz/upscale/video"

MCP Tool Alternative

If MCP tools are available, prefer using:

mcp__fal-ai__generate({
  modelId: "fal-ai/aura-sr",
  input: {
    image_url: "https://example.com/image.jpg"
  }
})

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

fal-upscale is a skill published in the GitHub repository CraftOS-dev/CraftBot (376 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 1,114 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
