Topaz Video Upscaler — Upscale & Enhance Any Clip to 4K
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.

Result
What you can build with this model
Real-world workflows and production use cases you can build and ship with this model.
Restore old or low-resolution footage
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 clipPush social and product video toward 4K
Shoot 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.
Batch-enhance a whole library
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.

Why reAPI
Up to 4× resolution
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.
Real detail restoration
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.
Pay for the seconds you use
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.
Topaz Video Upscaler vs self-hosted Real-ESRGAN
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.
Capability
Topaz Video Upscaler on reAPI
Self-hosted Real-ESRGAN
Setup
One API call — the Topaz Video Upscaler needs only a video URL and a factor; nothing to install.
Build the pipeline yourself: install model weights, ffmpeg, and CUDA, then wire frame extraction and re-encode.
Hardware
None — the Topaz Video Upscaler runs in the cloud; you never provision a GPU.
Your own CUDA GPU, sized for the largest frame and longest clip you process.
Output quality
Topaz Labs’ production upscaling model, tuned for real-world footage and temporal stability.
General-purpose super-resolution; strong on stills but can flicker or soften on real video.
Upscale factors
One parameter selects 1×, 2×, or 4× on the Topaz Video Upscaler.
Depends on the weights you load; large frames often need manual tiling.
Scaling
Submit many jobs in parallel; the Topaz Video Upscaler queues and processes them in the cloud.
Bounded by your single machine’s throughput and VRAM.
Pricing model
The Topaz Video Upscaler bills per second of probed source footage, pay-as-you-go credits.
No per-call fee, but you pay for the GPU, power, and ops time.
Comparison reflects publicly documented behavior at the time of writing. Model behavior and pricing can change; check the pricing card above and the API docs for current values.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about this model.
The Topaz Video Upscaler is a video-to-video model that upscales and enhances footage. You pass a source clip and an upscale factor, and the Topaz Video Upscaler returns a sharper, higher-resolution render — up to 4K — while preserving the original motion and length.
