Enhance Videos

Revive your low-quality footage. WaveSpeed's AI enhancement suite automatically upscales video resolution, removes noise, and restores lost details. Whether it's grainy smartphone clips, old family VHS tapes, or low-res anime, transform them into crisp, high-definition 4K masterpieces in minutes.

Professional Enhancement Tools

A complete toolkit to fix every video quality issue.

1. AI Upscaling

Powered by Real-ESRGAN Video. Upscale video resolution from 480p/720p to 1080p/4K while recovering fine details lost to compression. Unlike simple bicubic scaling, AI upscaling hallucinates realistic textures for hair, fabric, and foliage. Best for restoring archival footage, improving user-generated content, and preparing social media clips for large-screen playback. Try the free Video Upscaler for a quick test.

2. Motion Smoothing

Powered by RIFE / DAIN. Increase frame rate from 24/30fps to 60/120fps by generating intermediate frames with AI. Eliminates judder in panning shots and creates buttery-smooth slow-motion effects without the ghosting artifacts of traditional optical flow. Best for sports highlights, drone footage, and cinematic slow-motion. Pair with Video Edit tools for a complete post-production pipeline.

3. Face Restoration

Powered by CodeFormer. Detect and restore faces in video that suffer from blur, compression artifacts, or low resolution. Rebuilds facial features with identity-preserving detail, even on faces that are only 32x32 pixels in the source. Best for old home videos, surveillance footage cleanup, and improving faces in group shots. Also available as the standalone Face Enhancer for still images.

4. De-Noising & Stabilization

Combines neural de-noising with gyroscope-free stabilization. Removes grain, sensor noise, and compression artifacts from low-light or high-ISO footage while simultaneously smoothing camera shake. The AI distinguishes between creative motion (intentional handheld feel) and unwanted jitter. Best for mobile phone footage, action camera clips, and concert/event recordings.

Real-world results from our enhancement models.

Archival Footage Restoration

Transform grainy 480p family videos into crisp 4K. AI upscaling recovers details that traditional scaling cannot, while face restoration repairs blurry faces across every frame.

Cinematic Slow Motion

Convert standard 30fps footage into buttery-smooth 120fps slow motion using RIFE frame interpolation, without the ghosting artifacts of traditional optical flow methods.

Low-Light Cleanup

Remove grain and sensor noise from concert recordings, night-time events, or security footage. The AI preserves genuine detail while eliminating ISO noise and compression artifacts.

Social Media Optimization

Stabilize shaky handheld clips, upscale mobile phone footage, and enhance faces in group shots — all in one pipeline. Deliver polished content ready for any platform.

Q & A

How much can I upscale my video?

We typically recommend a 2x to 4x upscale. For example, turning a 720p video into 4K (2160p). Going beyond 4x often introduces artificial-looking details, but our models are tuned to balance sharpness with realism.

Does enhancement affect the audio?

No. Our enhancement process only processes the visual stream. The original audio track is preserved bit-perfectly and re-muxed into the final enhanced video file.

Can I fix blurry license plates?

While AI can sharpen text significantly, "CSI-style" enhancement of completely unreadable text is often impossible if the information isn't in the pixels. Results vary based on the source quality.

How long does it take to enhance a video?

It depends on the target resolution and frame rate. Upscaling a 1-minute video to 4K usually takes 3-5 minutes on our cloud GPUs. Frame interpolation is generally faster.

What file formats do you accept?

We accept all major video formats including MP4, MOV, AVI, and MKV. The output is typically a high-bitrate MP4 (H.264/H.265) for maximum compatibility.
