Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between the AI models?
- Fast (our AI upscaler) offers the best speed-to-quality ratio for general content. Quality (our high-quality AI) uses a transformer architecture for the sharpest possible details but is 3-5x slower. Anime is specifically trained on anime/cartoon content for the best results on that style.
- Can I upscale 720p to 4K?
- Yes! Use 4x scale to go from 720p (1280x720) to near-4K (5120x2880). For 1080p to 4K, use 2x scale.
- How long does video upscaling take?
- With parallel GPU processing, a 1-minute 720p video takes about 5-10 minutes depending on the model. Quality (our high-quality AI) is 3-5x slower than Fast.
- Will upscaling add real detail?
- AI upscaling generates plausible detail that wasn't in the original — edges become sharper, textures more defined. It's not magic, but results are dramatically better than simple bicubic scaling.
- How does this compare to Topaz Video AI?
- Topaz Video AI is the gold standard for offline desktop upscaling — if you have a beefy GPU and budget for the $299 license, Topaz still edges ahead on archival footage. For short clips and 95% of social media content, this tool gives comparable results, runs in your browser, and is free. No 100GB download, no install.
- Is this a free alternative to Let's Enhance or Vance AI?
- Yes for video. Let's Enhance and Vance AI both charge credits per upscale; we're free for short clips and Pro for full-length videos. Quality is comparable on social-media-class footage.
