Overview
Send a video URL and a scale factor (2, 3, or 4, or any value between 1 and 4). Instead of just stretching pixels, a neural super-resolution model adds real detail, sharpness, and texture as it increases the resolution. The original audio is kept, and the result is delivered as an MP4. The video needs at least 17 frames (roughly half a second at 30 fps). This is an async job: submit it, poll until it's ready, then download the upscaled video.
Key capabilities
Neural super-resolution
Not simple upscaling — the model generates real detail, sharpness, and texture that plain interpolation can't produce.
Audio preserved
The original audio is kept in the upscaled video.
Async processing
Submit the job and poll until it's ready. Time depends on duration, resolution, and scale.
When to use it
Archive restoration
Upscale old or low-resolution footage (e.g. 480p toward 1080p) with added detail.
Display-ready delivery
Prepare content for 4K or large screens from HD sources.
Social media quality
Upscale clips before publishing for a sharper look on high-DPI devices.

Guides & tips
How it works
- Submit a video URL and a scale factor (2, 3, or 4, or any value between 1 and 4).
- A neural super-resolution model increases the resolution while adding real detail, sharpness, and texture — far beyond a simple stretch. The original audio is kept and the result is delivered as an MP4.
- Because it processes the whole video, this is an async job — submit it, poll until it's ready, then download the result.
Scale and resolution limits
- Scale can be 2, 3, or 4, or any value between 1 and 4.
- The upscaled resolution can't exceed about 3.7 megapixels (e.g. 1440×2560). If your source is already high-resolution, choose a smaller scale.
Minimum length
- The video needs at least 17 frames (about half a second at 30 fps). Very short clips will be rejected.
