What is Video Upscaling?
AI-powered process of increasing video resolution beyond its original capture quality. Uses neural networks to add detail and sharpness.
How it works
Video upscaling uses AI to increase the resolution of video content. A 1080p video can be upscaled to 4K, or a 720p video to 1080p, with the AI generating plausible additional detail that was not present in the original. This is particularly relevant for AI-generated video because many tools output at 720p or 1080p, but clients may need 4K deliverables. Professional upscaling tools analyze the content and add appropriate detail based on learned patterns, producing results that are significantly better than traditional interpolation. Tools like Topaz Video AI specialize in this, while some generation tools include upscaling as a built-in feature.
