What is Super Resolution?

AI technique for increasing image or video resolution beyond the original capture quality. Generates plausible high-frequency detail that was not present in the source.

How it works

Super resolution uses trained neural networks to increase the resolution of images and video. Unlike simple upscaling (which interpolates between existing pixels), AI super resolution generates new detail based on learned patterns. A 1080p AI-generated video can be upscaled to 4K with improved detail rather than just blurred enlargement. This is essential for AI video production because many tools generate at 720p or 1080p, but client deliverables may require 4K. Dedicated upscaling tools like Topaz Video AI produce the best results for video content.
