Guide to Upscaling Videos
Learn how to upscale videos in getimg.ai. Increase resolution to 1080p, 2K, or 4K with Topaz and FLUX models.
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:
- Log into getimg.ai and from the Actions section in the left sidebar, click "Video", and then "Upscale video".
- 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 5 minutes long.
- Pick an upscaling model and a target resolution (1080p or 4K on every model, plus 2K on the FLUX upscalers).
- 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 five upscalers: Topaz Astra 2, Topaz Proteus, Topaz Starlight, FLUX Video Upscale Precise, and FLUX Video Upscale Creative.
The two FLUX upscalers work the same way as the classic and creative upscalers for images:
- FLUX Video Upscale Precise stays faithful to the source and sharpens it at a higher resolution. Use it when the footage already looks right and you just need more pixels.
- FLUX Video Upscale Creative adds detail and texture as it upscales. With very low-quality footage, it may invent details that weren't in the original.
The FLUX upscalers are also the only ones with a 2K target. The Topaz models upscale to 1080p or 4K, and each one handles source footage a little differently. If you're unsure which to use, run the same clip through a few models and compare the results before settling on one for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions
You pick the target resolution yourself before you upscale: 1080p or 4K on every model, or 2K on the FLUX upscalers. The new file is saved alongside your original, which stays exactly as it was.
No. Each upscale produces a brand new, higher-resolution file. Your original version stays in your gallery so you can still access the smaller file whenever you need it.
You can upscale any video, including footage from your own device, as long as it's under 100 MB and 5 minutes long. Open Upscale video from the Actions section in the sidebar, then drop your file into the box at the bottom or upload it from your device.
