✦ What the AI does

Every frame.
Rebuilt by AI.

Six layers of intelligence work together on every single frame of your video — from skin texture to shadow depth to cinematic color.

Skin & Face Restoration
CodeFormer AI rebuilds pores, hair strands, eye shine, lip texture and natural skin tones at a level no general upscaler can match. Faces look real — not AI-generated.
CodeFormer · weight 0.7
Dark Footage Recovery
Zero-DCE++ intelligently lifts shadows without blowing out highlights. Night scenes and indoor footage look like they were shot under professional studio lighting.
Zero-DCE++ · shadow lift
True 8K Upscaling
Two sequential Real-ESRGAN passes double resolution twice — a 4× total increase. 1080p becomes 4K. 4K becomes 8K. Every pass adds real detail, not just interpolated blur.
Real-ESRGAN · dual pass ×4
Blur & Shake Removal
NAFNet AI deblurring removes motion blur, focus blur and camera shake from every frame before upscaling begins — because blurry input gives blurry output unless you fix it first.
NAFNet · per-frame deblur
Cinematic Color Grade
A final FFmpeg unsharp and curves pass lifts shadows, balances highlights and adds cinematic contrast and warmth — the same color science used in Hollywood post-production.

Privacy & Security
Your footage is encrypted in transit and stored on Cloudflare R2. Both the original and processed files are permanently and automatically deleted 24 hours after processing. No exceptions.

I uploaded a 480p family video from 2009 — shaky, dark, completely washed out. What came back looked like it was shot yesterday on a cinema camera. I actually cried. My parents couldn't believe it was the same footage.

Used this on a client wedding video from 2004. The original was grainy, blurry, terrible audio sync issues — but the video itself came out stunning. Client booked me again for the anniversary video just because of what this tool did.

I run a TikTok with 1.2M followers and started repurposing old footage through UpscaleAI. The jump in watch time was immediate — 8K content just holds attention differently. This tool paid for itself in 3 days.

As a documentary filmmaker working with archival footage, this changed everything. We restored 35 hours of 1990s VHS tape for a Netflix pitch. The producers couldn't believe it wasn't originally shot in HD.

The face restoration alone is worth the subscription. I do Instagram content for beauty brands — the skin texture and eye detail it produces is genuinely better than what my camera captures on set. Insane.

Tried every AI upscaler on the market — Topaz, Runway, all of them. UpscaleAI is in a different league. The 8-step pipeline approach is the right way to do this. Everything else feels like a shortcut now.

✦ Got questions

Everything you
need to know.

If you don't find your answer here, our support team replies within a few hours.

We accept all major video formats including MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, FLV and WebM. There is no restriction on resolution — you can upload anything from 240p phone footage to existing 4K files. The AI pipeline adapts to whatever quality you provide and maximises the output accordingly. Maximum individual file size is 10GB.
Processing time depends on the length and original resolution of your video. A 1-minute clip typically takes 8–14 minutes to process through all 8 AI steps on our RTX 4090 GPU instances. Pro plan users get priority queue access which reduces wait time significantly. Studio plan users get the fastest dedicated processing available. You'll receive an email notification the moment your video is ready to download.
Absolutely. Your videos are encrypted in transit using TLS and stored on Cloudflare R2 — one of the most secure object storage platforms available. We never view, share or train AI models on your footage. Both the original upload and the processed output are permanently and automatically deleted exactly 24 hours after processing completes. No exceptions, no manual steps required.
Your dashboard always shows your remaining minutes in real time so you're never surprised. If you reach your limit, you have two options — wait for the monthly reset (minutes refresh on your billing date) or upgrade your plan instantly from inside your dashboard with no interruption to your workflow. We never automatically charge you for overages without your consent.
Yes — no questions asked, no friction, no retention flows. Cancel from your account dashboard in under 10 seconds. You keep full access until the end of your current billing period and are never charged again after cancellation. If you cancel and want to come back, your account history and settings will still be there waiting for you.
This is exactly what UpscaleAI was built for. The pipeline was designed specifically to handle VHS tape digitisations, compressed social media clips, old phone recordings, dark indoor footage and motion-blurred handheld video. The worse the source material, the more dramatic the transformation. We have processed footage from the 1980s and produced results that look indistinguishable from modern HD production.
