  • Price is per second and depends on the resolution: 30 seconds costs 184 credits at 1080p, 368 at 2K and 735 at 4K.
  • 4K costs about four times as much as 1080p. For a post that will only be watched on phones, 1080p is usually enough.
  • You pay for every second you upload, so trim the clip to the part you'll use first.

How do I upscale a video to 4K?

The AI Video Upscaler is a tool that raises a video's resolution to 1080p, 2K or 4K and adds detail with AI instead of just stretching the pixels. You upload an MP4, MOV or WEBM of up to 5 minutes, choose the target resolution and the type of footage, and get back an MP4 at 30 frames per second with your original sound. It's priced per second: a 30-second clip costs 184 credits at 1080p, 368 at 2K and 735 at 4K.

How to use AI Video Upscaler in 3 steps

  1. Upload the video you want to upscale

    Choose an MP4, MOV or WEBM up to 5 minutes and 200 MB. Upload the best copy you have, straight from your camera or export.

  2. Choose the resolution and footage type

    Pick 1080p, 2K or 4K, then General, Phone / UGC, AI-generated or Old film to match your source.

  3. Upscale the video and download it

    Press Upscale video. The AI video upscaler works through the clip, adds your sound back and saves the upscaled MP4 in My Videos. 4K and longer clips take longer.

What AI Video Upscaler does

Three target resolutions

1080p suits phone screens and social posts. 2K gives extra room for cropping in an edit. 4K is for big screens and for dropping clips into a 4K timeline.

Tuned to the kind of footage

The footage type sets how the AI treats the picture. Phone / UGC is for handheld and selfie clips, AI-generated for clips from video models, Old film for scanned film and old tape transfers, and General for everything else.

Your original sound, kept

The upscaled picture is joined back with the audio from your upload, so speech and music stay in sync. Silent clips come back silent.

A steady 30 fps

Every result comes back at 30 frames per second, whatever the source frame rate, as an MP4 that plays in any editor or on any phone.

Priced by the second

You pay for the length of the clip at the resolution you pick, with a 20-credit minimum. The exact price shows in the form as soon as your video is uploaded.

Comparison

Why use AI Video Upscaler instead of exporting at a bigger size?

Setting a larger export size in an editor only stretches the pixels. The AI upscaler adds detail as it enlarges the picture.

What you can make with it

Sharpen an AI-generated clip before posting

Clips from text-to-video models often come out at low resolution and look soft once they're full screen on a phone.

  • Upload the clip and choose AI-generated.
  • Pick 1080p for TikTok, Reels and Shorts; a 5-second clip costs 31 credits.
  • Choose 4K only when the clip goes into a 4K edit: the same 5 seconds cost 123 credits.

Restore an old home video

A digitized family tape or a scanned film reel looks soft and small on today's screens.

  • Choose Old film and 1080p or 2K.
  • Test a 10-second section first: it costs 62 credits at 1080p, compared with 1,836 for the full 5 minutes.
  • If you like the result, upload the full clip with the same settings.
  • The original sound comes back with the upscaled picture.

Match phone footage to a 4K edit

You're cutting a 4K video and some shots were filmed on an older phone in 1080p or lower.

  • Trim each phone shot to the part you'll use before uploading.
  • Choose Phone / UGC and 4K.
  • A 30-second shot at 4K costs 735 credits.
  • Drop the 30 fps MP4 into your timeline next to the rest of the footage.

Who it's for

AI video creators

Bring soft, low-resolution clips from video models up to 1080p or 4K before posting or editing them together.

Families and archivists

Give digitized tapes and film scans more detail with the Old film footage type.

Video editors

Upscale the odd low-resolution shot so it holds up next to the rest of a 2K or 4K project.

Small brand owners

Sharpen phone-filmed product clips and customer videos before they go on your brand's pages.

Tips for the best result

  • Upscaling adds detail but can't bring back what was never captured: a shot that's out of focus or full of motion blur improves less than a clean, low-resolution one.
  • Upload the original file, not a copy downloaded back from a social app, which has been compressed again.
  • Match the footage type to your source; it's the main setting besides the resolution.
  • A 60 fps clip comes back at 30 fps, so very fast motion looks a little less smooth.
  • Rotate, resize or trim first, then upscale last, so the extra detail goes into the final frame.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI upscale a video to 4K?

Yes. Choose 4K and the AI upscales your clip and adds detail, then returns it as a 30 fps MP4 with the original sound.

How much does it cost to upscale a video?

It's priced per second. A 1-minute video costs 368 credits at 1080p, 735 at 2K and 1,469 at 4K, and every job is at least 20 credits.

How long can my video be?

Up to 5 minutes and 200 MB, as an MP4, MOV or WEBM.

Can I upscale 720p to 1080p?

Yes. Choose 1080p; it's the lowest-priced option and suits most social posts.

Does upscaling keep the sound?

Yes. The audio from your upload is copied back onto the upscaled picture.

Will it change the frame rate?

Yes, the result is always 30 fps. A 24 or 25 fps film and a 60 fps clip both come back at 30.

Can it fix old or blurry videos?

It sharpens soft and low-resolution footage, and the Old film type is made for film and tape transfers. It can't fully recover detail lost to bad focus or heavy motion blur.

Which footage type should I choose?

Phone / UGC for phone recordings, AI-generated for clips from video models, Old film for scanned film or old tapes, and General for anything else.

Do I need an account?

Yes. Sign in with Google or email; each job costs credits from your balance, and the result is saved in My Videos.

What if a job fails?

If a job can't finish, the credits it used go back to your balance automatically.
