The anime preset explicitly asks to retain the illustration style, cel shading and character design, avoiding photorealistic skin or new decoration.
Should I upscale or redraw an anime image?
Choose 2× or 4× smart upscale for a larger image. Try the anime HD redraw preset when lines are rough or color boundaries contain compression artifacts.
Which model powers the enhancement preset?
HD redraw uses GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst. The smart-upscale tab provides a separate 2× or 4× enlargement workflow.

GPT Image 2.5 redraw requires sign-in and credits. The workspace shows the cost for your selected quality and resolution. Smart upscale has its own daily guest allowance and pricing.
