Topaz Video Upscaler turns soft, low-resolution footage into clean, sharp video. Send a source clip, pick 1×, 2×, or 4×, and the Topaz Video Upscaler returns an enhanced render — billed per second of the source video.

Topaz Video Upscaler is Topaz Labs' video enhancement model, exposed on reAPI as one async endpoint with a two-parameter surface: the URL of a source clip and an upscale factor of 1×, 2×, or 4×. It restores detail and sharpness in existing footage rather than generating new frames, and every job is billed per second of the source video's server-measured length — one rate for 1×/2×, a higher one for 4×.
Real-world workflows and production use cases you can build and ship with this model.
Feed grainy, compressed, or sub-HD clips to the Topaz Video Upscaler and get back a cleaner, sharper render. It reconstructs fine detail and reduces softness while keeping the original motion and timing intact.
Upscale a clipShoot once, deliver everywhere. Run exports through the Topaz Video Upscaler at 2× or 4× to hit crisp 4K for storefronts, ads, and large-screen playback — no reshoot, no manual frame work, just a source URL and an upscale factor.
Point the Topaz Video Upscaler at clip after clip and let the cloud do the work. Because every job is async and billed per probed second, it scales from a single hero shot to an entire back catalog without touching a local GPU.
The Topaz Video Upscaler enlarges frames 1×, 2×, or 4×, taking sub-HD footage toward clean 4K. One parameter picks the factor; the request body stays the same.
More than a resize — the Topaz Video Upscaler reconstructs edges, textures, and fine detail, so upscaled video looks sharp rather than stretched. Built on Topaz Labs’ production upscaling model.
Topaz Video Upscaler billing is per second of the source clip, measured server-side from the real length rather than a client estimate. The 4× tier costs more per second than 1× / 2×. Failed jobs refund automatically.
Both upscale and clean up video, but one is a managed API call and the other is a pipeline you build and run. Here is how the Topaz Video Upscaler compares to self-hosting Real-ESRGAN on publicly documented behavior.
