P-Video Upscale

P-Video Upscale increases the resolution of an existing video while preserving its aspect ratio and original soundtrack. Choose output resolutions from 720p to 4K, adjust the frame rate, and optionally enable Turbo for faster processing.

Why Choose This?

  • Up to 4K output — Upscale existing videos to 720p, 1080p, 2K, or 4K.
  • Original framing — Preserve the source video's aspect ratio without stretching the image.
  • Audio preserved — Keep the original soundtrack when the source contains audio.
  • Frame-rate control — Choose an output frame rate of 24, 30, or 60 FPS.
  • Turbo processing — Enable faster processing with a small quality trade-off.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
videoYesSource video URL or upload. Maximum file size: 512 MiB.
target_resolutionNoTarget resolution: 720p, 1080p, 2k, or 4k. Default: 1080p.
fpsNoOutput frame rate: 24, 30, or 60. Default: 24.
turboNoEnable faster processing with a small quality trade-off. Default: false.

How to Use

  1. Upload a video — Provide the source video or its URL.
  2. Choose a resolution — Select 720p, 1080p, 2k, or 4k.
  3. Set frame rate optional — Choose an output frame rate of 24, 30, or 60 FPS.
  4. Enable Turbo optional — Turn on Turbo when faster processing is preferred.
  5. Submit — Process and retrieve the upscaled MP4.

Pricing

Pricing is based on the source video duration, capped at the processing limit for the selected target_resolution and fps, then rounded up to the next whole second.

Target Resolution24 / 30 FPS60 FPS
720p$0.01 / second$0.02 / second
1080p$0.02 / second$0.04 / second
2k$0.04 / second$0.08 / second
4k$0.08 / second$0.16 / second

60 FPS uses twice the per-second rate of 24 or 30 FPS. Turbo does not add a surcharge. Changing fps can also change the processing limit and the number of billed seconds.

Best Use Cases

  • Social videos — Prepare existing clips for higher-resolution publishing.
  • Presentation footage — Improve video quality for larger screens and displays.
  • Video libraries — Upgrade existing footage while preserving its framing and soundtrack.
  • Marketing content — Improve existing promotional and product videos.
  • Archived footage — Create higher-resolution versions of older video assets.

Pro Tips

  • Use 720p or 1080p for lower-cost processing before moving to higher resolutions.
  • Choose the frame rate based on the motion and source footage.
  • Enable Turbo when processing speed is more important than maximum quality.
  • Keep the source aspect ratio suitable for the intended publishing platform.
  • Higher resolutions support fewer processed frames per request.

Notes

  • Resolution targets are based on pixel area. Exact output dimensions vary with the source aspect ratio; 720p does not always mean a height of 720 pixels.

  • Videos already larger than the selected target are not downscaled.

  • The maximum input file size is 512 MiB.

  • Clip length is limited by processed frames, not a fixed duration:

    TargetMaximum Processed Frames
    720p2,400
    1080p1,200
    2k600
    4k300
  • Overlong videos are shortened before upscaling; only the beginning is retained. The remaining portion is not processed or billed.

  • The retained length depends on target_resolution and fps, with a small allowance reserved to stay within the frame limit. Billed duration is rounded up to the next whole second.

P Video Upscale API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/pruna-ai/p-video/upscale with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for P Video Upscale below.

P Video Upscale API — Frequently asked questions

What is the P Video Upscale API?

P Video Upscale is a Pruna Ai model for video upscaling, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Pruna P-Video Upscale enhances video resolution up to 4K while preserving the source aspect ratio and audio, with adjustable frame rate and an optional faster processing mode. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the P Video Upscale API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples for submitting requests and polling results. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/pruna-ai/pruna-ai-p-video-upscale.

How much does P Video Upscale cost per run or per second?

P Video Upscale starts at $0.01 per run or per second. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does P Video Upscale accept?

Key inputs: `video`, `fps`, `target_resolution`, `turbo`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/pruna-ai/pruna-ai-p-video-upscale.

How do I get started with the P Video Upscale API?

Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.

Can I use P Video Upscale outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Pruna Ai). Check the provider's applicable terms and WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service before commercial use.
