Source description
This workflow uses the Flux Upscale Controlnet ( https://huggingface.co/jasperai/Flux.1-dev-Controlnet-Upscaler ) to upscale a provided image. Florence 2 is used to caption the image for automatic prompting.
A script by Kijai ( https://huggingface.co/Kijai/flux-fp8/discussions/7#66ae0455a20def3de3c6d476 ) is used to convert the controlnet to fp8 so that Flux (fp8) and the controlnet can fit into 16GB of VRAM.
Important Notes for the Workflow
AI-generated commentary
AI-generated explanation based on source and configuration details. Suggestions are clearly labeled.
Flux Controlnet Upscale is a Flux.1 D workflow for upscaling a provided image: it uses Flux Upscale Controlnet and Florence 2, which captions the image for automatic prompting, and produces an upscaled image.
Input: a provided image. Output: an upscaled image.
The output image size follows the input image’s aspect ratio and the value in the Scale To Megapixels node.
Install Flux VAE with the manager before use.

The FP8 ControlNet conversion is intended to let Flux FP8 and the ControlNet fit within 16 GB of VRAM.

Set Scale To Megapixels between 1 and 2; output size follows this setting and the input image’s aspect ratio.
Suggestion · not verified
Set ControlNet strength between 0.5 and 0.6.
Suggestion · not verified
Use end_percent to adjust fidelity: higher values keep the upscale closer to the original, while lower values leave more room for model creativity.
Suggestion · not verified
For an image that is not a photo, bypass the Text Find and Replace node.

You should bypass the "Text Find and Replace" node if you are not upscaling a photo.
The size of the output image is controlled by the aspect ratio of the input image and the number of megapixels in the "Scale To Megapixels" node. Set this value between 1 - 2 for the best results.
Strength of the controlnet should be between 0.5 - 0.6
The end_percent can be used to control how faithful the upscale is to the provided image. Higher values to be more faithful to the original image and lower values to give the model more room for creativity.
axior from reddit reported good results with the flux + upscale controlnet method for upscaling to 8megapixels, Controlnet strength 0.85, up until 0.85 of generation, denoise 0.95
