Guide to Upscaling Videos

How It Works

Video upscaling increases your clip's resolution and sharpness while keeping the original content and look intact. It's how you turn shorter or lower-resolution footage into a cleaner, higher-resolution version for client work, social channels, or any setting where the final quality matters.

Upscaling a Video

To upscale a video in getimg.ai:

1. Log into getimg.ai and from the Actions section in the left sidebar, click Upscale video.
2. Click the box at the bottom of the page to pick a video, or drag and drop a file straight into it. You can upload from your device or select a clip you already have in your gallery. Source videos can be up to 100 MB and 15 seconds long.
3. Pick an upscaling model and a target resolution (1080p or 4K).
4. Press the arrow to start. A new, higher-resolution version appears in the Upscale video gallery above, and your original stays untouched.

You can also start an upscale straight from any video in your gallery: hover over the clip, open the three-dot menu, and pick Upscale video. The Upscale video Action opens with that clip already selected, ready for you to pick a model and resolution.

Choosing an Upscaling Model

The model picker includes three Topaz upscalers: Topaz Astra 2, Topaz Proteus, and Topaz Starlight. Each one handles source footage a little differently. If you're unsure which to use, run the same clip through each model and compare the results before settling on one for your project.
