The full job
AI Upscaler in Versely
Opens the studio directly. Free account; every generation costs credits.
An upscaler takes footage or a still that is too small for where it has to go and rebuilds the detail at a higher resolution, rather than stretching the pixels you already have. It is the fix for a 480p generation that has to ship at 1080p, a phone clip going onto a 4K panel, or a product still that was exported at the wrong size.
Two jobs live on this page. The free image upscaler runs in your browser: drop a still, pick 2x or 4x, download. The paid job in Versely's Toolkit sends a still or a full video through model upscalers built for the task, with the enhancement models listed below.
Upscaling is not the same as generating. It cannot invent what was never in the frame, and a soft, compressed source stays soft at a larger size. Denoise and deblur first when the source is noisy, then upscale, then sharpen only if it still needs it.
Models inside
Stills and video use different upscalers. These are the ones in the catalog, by job.
Stills
Photographs, product shots and generated frames. Priced per image.
Video
Whole clips, frame-consistent. Priced by output resolution and length.
What AI Upscaler does
Free on-device image upscale
The upscaler on this page runs in your browser. Nothing uploads, no account, and the file you download is yours.
Video upscale to 4K
Full clips through ByteDance, Topaz and Runway video upscalers, from 480p or 720p sources up to 1080p, 2K and 4K.
Model upscalers for stills
Topaz, SeedVR and Clarity Crystal for photographs, product shots and generated frames that have to print or fill a screen.
Detail preserved, not smeared
Model upscalers rebuild texture, edges and text rather than blurring them larger. Faces and lettering are where the difference shows.
Fits the generation flow
Generate at the cheap resolution, pick the take, then upscale only the keeper. That is how a 4K deliverable costs a fraction of generating at 4K.
How it works
1. Try it free
Drop a still into the upscaler on this page and pick 2x or 4x. It renders on your device.
2. Open the Toolkit for the paid job
For video, or for model-grade still upscaling, open the Toolkit in Versely and choose image or video upscale.
3. Pick the model and target
Choose the upscaler and the output resolution. Price shows before you run.
4. Download or keep going
Save the master, or hand it to captions, dubbing or the video editor without leaving Versely.

Frequently asked questions
Is the upscaler on this page really free?+
Yes. The image upscaler embedded on this page runs entirely in your browser, uploads nothing and needs no account. Video upscaling and the model-grade still upscalers run in Versely and cost credits.
What resolutions can video be upscaled to?+
The video upscalers in the catalog output 1080p, 2K and 4K depending on the model. Price scales with output resolution and clip length, and shows before you run.
Will upscaling fix a blurry or noisy source?+
Partly. Upscaling rebuilds detail at a larger size; it does not remove noise or motion blur on its own. Run denoise or deblur first on a rough source, then upscale.
Which upscaler should I use for a generated frame?+
For a still, Topaz or SeedVR give the most natural detail; Clarity Crystal is the cheap first pass. For a generated clip, the ByteDance or Topaz video upscalers keep motion consistent across frames.
Is it cheaper to upscale than to generate at 4K?+
Almost always. Generate at the model's base resolution, choose the take you like, then upscale that one clip. Generating every attempt at 4K pays the 4K rate on the takes you throw away.
Does upscaling change the aspect ratio?+
No. The frame keeps its proportions; only the pixel count goes up. Use the free reel resizer under free tools if you also need a different aspect ratio.
