Topaz Video Upscale
AI video enhancement from Topaz Labs. Upscale low-resolution or degraded video to 4K and beyond — with noise reduction, detail restoration, and artifact removal built in.
What is Topaz Video Upscale?
Topaz Video Upscale is an AI-powered video enhancement model from Topaz Labs — a company known for building professional-grade upscaling tools for photographers and video editors. The model takes lower-resolution or degraded video and produces a significantly enhanced, higher-resolution version.
Unlike simple bicubic or algorithmic upscaling, Topaz Video Upscale uses neural networks trained on video content to restore missing detail, reduce compression artifacts, and suppress noise — rather than just stretching pixels. The result is a video that looks like it was originally shot at higher quality, not one that's been artificially enlarged.
This makes it particularly valuable for post-production workflows: enhancing archival footage, improving user-generated content before publishing, upscaling AI-generated video for distribution, or preparing social media content for large-screen playback where compression artifacts become visible.

How to upscale video with Topaz on project.video
Open the composer
Go to your project.video dashboard. Topaz Video Upscale is available under enhancement and upscaling tools in the model selector.
Select Topaz Video Upscale
Choose Topaz Video Upscale to enhance your video. The model is optimized for both resolution upscaling and quality restoration.
Upload your video
Upload the video you want to upscale or enhance. Works best with videos that have a clear target resolution upgrade — SD to HD, HD to 4K, and so on.
Process and review
Run the enhancement. Review the upscaled output — check texture detail, noise levels, and artifact reduction. Download the enhanced version for your workflow.

Best use cases
AI-generated video enhancement
Many AI video generation models produce output at 720p or 1080p. Upscale AI-generated video to 4K for distribution on platforms and large screens where the original resolution would show quality limitations.
Archival and legacy footage restoration
Restore old footage — whether archival video, digitized film, or early digital content — to modern display standards. Topaz Video Upscale can recover substantial detail from heavily degraded source material.
UGC and social content enhancement
User-generated content is often submitted at low resolution or with heavy compression. Upscale and denoise UGC before republishing for branded social channels or campaign content.
Screen recording and tutorial upscaling
Screen recordings and tutorial video are often captured at non-standard or lower resolutions. Upscale before publishing to improve the professional quality of educational and documentation video.
