AI video upscaler
Enlarge a low-resolution clip with AI: Flux Video Upscale scales video by the factor you choose, with a 4K maximum. Precise mode keeps existing detail; creative mode adds fine texture.
7 ready recipes
Most searches for sharpening or enhancing a video are really about upscaling: taking a 720p or 1080p clip to a higher resolution so it looks sharper on a big screen. AI upscaling models don't just enlarge pixels; they recompute edges and textures.
The upscale tool in Ryna Video Studio uses the Flux Video Upscale model. You pick a clip you generated in the studio or a video you uploaded, choose the scale and the mode, and the studio shows the output size and credits before it runs. Output tops out at 4K, and source clips can be up to 30 seconds.
Setting the right expectations matters: upscaling improves what's there, it doesn't bring back lost information. The difference is clear on mildly soft and low-resolution footage; out-of-focus shots, heavy motion blur and strong compression artifacts won't fully go away.

Each card is a type of source and a recommended setting. “Open the tool in the studio” opens the upscale tool; pick the source and apply the scale and mode from the card.
Deliver in 4K from an economy engine
Generate the clip on an economy engine such as Seedance 2.0 Fast or Wan 3.0, then enlarge the version you like. The studio shows the output size for the scale you pick: a 1280×720 clip becomes 2560×1440 at 2×, and a 1920×1080 clip reaches 4K (3840×2160) at 2×. Tests stay cheap and the delivered resolution goes up.

Choose precise mode for clips that show a product label, a sign or a logo. The model keeps and sharpens the existing detail instead of inventing texture.

In scenes where texture matters, like forests, fabric, skin or water, creative mode adds fine detail. The image looks richer; because it generates detail that wasn't in the source, check face and product close-ups frame by frame.

Pick the best 30-second section of an old phone video or archive clip and try the lowest scale first. Sharpness improves, but heavy blur and compression artifacts don't disappear completely.

Upscale a promo clip to 4K when it will play in a meeting room, at a trade show booth or on a TV; pixelation drops on large screens.

Before upscaling a whole clip, compare precise and creative mode on a 5-second section, then process the full clip once you know which suits the scene. Credits grow with duration and output size, so this step saves money.

Reels, TikTok and Shorts recompress uploaded videos, so 1080p is usually enough for a 9:16 clip. Save 4K for big screens, archives and master footage you'll edit again.

Precise or creative?
Precise mode stays faithful to the source: text, logos, product labels and faces stay as they are, just sharper. It's the safe choice for product videos, corporate promos and clips with text.
Creative mode generates fine texture that wasn't in the source: leaves, fabric fibers and skin look richer. It's impressive on nature and atmosphere shots, but on faces, logos and product close-ups it can add detail that isn't real, so check the result frame by frame.
When it helps and when it doesn't
Where it helps: AI clips generated at 720p on economy engines, clean but low-resolution phone videos, promos shown on big screens and 1080p product videos.
Where it's limited: out-of-focus footage, heavy grain in night shots, blur from fast motion and old videos that have been compressed many times. These clips look sharper, but the lost detail doesn't come back.
A smarter workflow for AI video
Rather than starting a long, expensive generation at the highest resolution, test at low resolution on an economy engine, approve the framing and motion, then upscale only the clip you like. Tests stay cheap and the delivered video is high resolution.

Is it free?
No. Upscaling is a premium tool: it doesn't run on welcome credits and needs purchased credits. The provider prices by output size and duration, so the cost varies by clip; the studio shows the exact credits before it runs. Testing on short sections keeps costs down.
Tips
- Compare both modes on a 5-second section first.
- Choose precise mode if there's text or a logo.
- 1080p is usually enough for social media; use 4K for big screens and archives.
- Test generations at low resolution and upscale only the clip you like.
- On very soft footage try a lower scale instead of the highest; flaws grow with the scale.
- Finish the upscaled clip with the subtitle and reframe tools.
Copyright and archive footage
Upscaling and republishing films, shows or broadcasts that belong to someone else can infringe copyright; only process videos you own or have permission to use. Remember to get permission from the people who appear in old family videos before sharing them.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I upscale a video with AI?
- Open the upscale tool in Video Studio, pick the source, set the scale and mode, and apply. The model enlarges the video by the scale you choose and recomputes edges and textures for a sharper image.
- Is there a free AI video upscaler?
- Upscaling here is a premium tool and needs purchased credits. The studio shows the cost before it runs, and testing on a short section keeps it low.
- Can I upscale a video to 4K?
- Yes, output tops out at 4K. A 1920×1080 clip reaches 3840×2160, which is 4K, at 2×; the studio shows the output size for every choice.
- Can AI fix a blurry video?
- Mild blur and low resolution improve noticeably. Out-of-focus footage, heavy motion blur and strong compression artifacts won't fully clear up; upscaling improves existing detail and can't bring back what's lost.
- What's the difference between precise and creative mode?
- Precise mode keeps the source detail and is safe for clips with text, logos and faces. Creative mode adds fine texture; it's impressive on nature shots but can generate detail that isn't real.
- How long can the video be?
- Source clips can be up to 30 seconds. For longer videos, process the important sections separately.
- Can I upscale a video I shot on my phone?
- Yes, upload the video and pick it as the source. Well-lit, steady footage gives better results.
- Do I need to install software?
- No. The upscale tool runs in Ryna Video Studio in your browser, and you can upload the video directly.
