A más no poder

I am working on better understanding 'poder' and I saw this sentence in my dictionary.

"Guapa a más no poder" translated to be, "unbelievably pretty".

I'm having some trouble figuring this out. To me, it seems like the literal translation is "she could not be prettier". I think my issue may be an unclear understanding of all the applications of "a".

Can anyone please help me with the literal meaning of this sentence?

Also, I am interested to see if I wrote the title properly thank you in advance for any help!
