# Image Scale

Most models are trained on images either 512x512 or 768x768 so they are often best at making images at that size. Smaller sizes often look very pixelated.&#x20;

While larger images can have "artifacts" appear. These artifacts are often doubling the amount of people, or alternatively, giving double heads/torsos.

Modern models seem to have a much lower chance of these artifacts appearing.&#x20;

If you intend to make images larger than 1024x1024 it is recommended to turn on "Highres Fix" in settings. [highres-fix](../extra-features-tutorials/upscaling/highres-fix "mention")

Please note that for inpainting to work properly the "location" you work on is still under these constraints. So if you generated an image at 768x768 with a character in the distance, and it´s face just being 30x30 pixels, then inpainting is not going to work. Its best to upscale the image and then inpaint.&#x20;
