Video Upscaler

Video Upscaler

Playground

The AI Video Upscaler is a powerful tool designed to enhance the resolution and quality of videos. Whether you’re working with low-resolution videos that need a boost or aiming to improve the clarity of existing footage, this upscaler leverages advanced machine learning models to deliver high-quality, upscaled videos.

Features

AI Video Upscaler (Fast Version)

Upscale videos to 720p, 1080p, 2K, or 4K with a simple upload. Optimized for clarity, detail fidelity, and flicker-free temporal consistency — all with faster turnaround times. No local setup required.

Looking for the absolute best quality?
Try our Flagship Video Upscaler Pro for maximum detail and fidelity.

Why it looks great

• Temporal consistency: minimizes flicker and ghosting across frames for stable motion.
• Detail reconstruction: restores fine textures (hair, fabric, foliage) and sharp edges without over-sharpening.
• Artifact cleanup: reduces compression blocks, ringing, and shimmering in challenging shots.
• Motion-aware upscaling: preserves fast action and camera pans with fewer motion artifacts.
• Natural look: balances perceptual quality with crispness to avoid plastic or overprocessed outputs.

Limits and Performance

• Max clip length per job: up to 10 minutes
• Processing speed: approximately 5–10 seconds of wall time to process 1 second of video (varies by resolution and queue load)

Pricing

Per-second billing with a 5-second minimum. The table below lists prices per 5 seconds for easy comparison.

Billing Rules

• Minimum charge: 5 seconds
• Per-second rate = (price per 5 seconds) ÷ 5
• Billed duration = video length in seconds (rounded up), with a 5-second minimum
• Total cost = billed duration × per-second rate (by output resolution)

Examples

• 3.2s @ 1080p → billed as 5s minimum → 5 × $0.005 = $0.025
• 12s @ 1080p → 12 × $0.005 = $0.06
• 23s @ 2K → per-second $0.01 → 23 × $0.01 = $0.23
• 2m01s (121s) @ 4K → per-second $0.02 → 121 × $0.02 = $2.42

How to Use

1. Choose the target resolution and parameters.
2. Upload your video (≤ 10 minutes).
3. Submit the job and wait for processing.
4. Preview and download the result.

Pro tips for best quality

• Upload the highest-quality source you have; avoid heavily compressed inputs when possible.
• Keep original frame rate; avoid unnecessary re-encoding before upload.
• Pick the lowest resolution that meets your delivery needs (1080p = speed/cost, 2K/4K = maximum detail).
• For long videos, process in segments to parallelize and then merge.

Notes

• Actual processing time may vary based on resolution, model choice, and current queue.
• For videos longer than 10 minutes, split into multiple segments, process separately, and merge afterward.
