What happens if you don't upscale
Stop sending soft, JPEG-noisy files to clients.
Stop losing the listing photo to compression.
Stop watching a scanned memory blur on the family TV.
Now works on video too
The only cloud upscaler that handles both images and video. Turn blurry footage into crisp video, up to 8K — no hardware required.
Motion finishes Sora, Kling and Runway up to 8K. Motion X is for film.
Supports MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM — up to 2GB
Up to 8K output with temporal consistency
No GPU needed — cloud processing in minutes
Magnific AI has no video support. Topaz Video AI is a desktop app that needs a powerful GPU; check Topaz for current pricing. UpRes does it in the cloud — upload and go.
You shouldn't have to re-shoot, redraw, or re-license a photo
just because the file is too small.
Every creator has a folder of files that don't quite scale. No single alias wins on every file, so UpRes gives you 14: Flare, Prism, Lumen, and Mirage for stills, Hush, Keen, Visage, and Atelier for restore, Motion, Motion X, Still, Cadence, and Atelier X for video, and Voice for speech. Each says which it is.

Trusted by photographers, designers, and developers
Real results from the people who use UpRes every week.
“The portrait restoration model is uncanny — I fed it a 480p scan from 1987 and got something I can actually print at A3.”
“I use the Magnific alternative every week for product shots. Way faster than the original, and the price delta is embarrassing.”
“The REST API let me plug upscaling up to 8K into our post-production pipeline in an afternoon. Batch jobs just work.”
Why we built UpRes
Every creator has at least one image too small to deliver. A scanned print at 480 × 640. A drone clip from a phone three years ago. A product shot exported at the wrong size. The work itself is fine — the pixels just aren't there. So you re-shoot, or you redraw, or you ship something soft and hope nobody notices.
That's the wrong tax on creativity. The pixel ceiling shouldn't decide whether your work looks finished.
UpRes is a hosted AI upscaler with 14 public aliases — one for portraits, one for illustrations, one for landscapes, one for video. You upload, we recommend the model that fits your image, and you download a version up to 8K in under a minute. No installs, no GPU rental, no token math. Free tier forever, Creator from $9 a month, a API access on Business, and prepaid credit packs for people running batch pipelines. It's the upscaler we wanted to exist when we kept hitting the resolution ceiling ourselves.
14 models. One tool.
Each one is built for a different job, and each one tells you up front whether it invents detail or leaves your file alone.
Upscale, denoise, sharpen, and face recovery for stills, plus a studio preset that runs them in order.
Flare
Everyday photos, done in seconds
Prism
Text, logos and product shots
Lumen
Maximum detail recovery, for print
Mirage
Invents new detail, most dramatic
Hush
Removes noise, keeps the size
Keen
Deblurs and sharpens
Visage
Restores faces only
Atelier
Denoise, restore faces, then upscale
Motion X and Atelier X require a paid plan or purchased credits. Motion stays available on the free plan within the monthly quota.
Restoration studio
Every repair the API can run, named in the open.
Upscale, clean, restore, or hand the file to a studio preset. A preset is an ordered list of the others, not a separate model. Pay-as-you-go charges one credit for each stage that runs.
Atelier, for a still
Denoise, then the face, then a faithful upscale. The face step is skipped on products, screenshots, and text, and that skip is free.
2 credits, or 3 if the face stage runs. A skipped face stage is free.
Atelier X, for a clip
Temporal denoise, then the cinema upscale. Face recovery stays on stills.
2 credits. One for each stage.
Upscale, denoise, sharpen, and restore a face. Or run them in order.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you start.
What image formats are supported?
We accept JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC for images. For video, we support MP4, MOV, MKV, and WebM. Output format is configurable per model (JPEG, PNG, or WebP for images; MP4/MOV for video).
What is the maximum file size I can upload?
Uploads use the tus resumable protocol so large files are safe. Image uploads support up to 50MB. Video uploads support up to 2GB. Chunked upload means a lost connection never requires restarting from scratch.
Will free-tier results have a watermark?
Yes. Free tier results include a small UpRes watermark in the corner. Pro and Business plans produce clean, watermark-free outputs. Pay-as-you-go credits also produce clean results.
How long does upscaling take?
Most image jobs complete in 5–30 seconds depending on the model and input size. Video jobs take longer — roughly 1–5x the video duration. Business plan users get priority queue access for faster processing.
Can I use results commercially?
Pro, Business, and PAYG plans include a commercial license. Free tier is for personal and evaluation use only.
Is there an API for bulk processing?
API access is included on the Business plan. It exposes the same job queue — POST your file URL and model, poll for results. API docs will be published at launch.
How are credits calculated for PAYG?
One credit pays for one upscale. You buy a credit pack (credit packs from $5 for 50 upscales, from about $0.07 per upscale on the largest pack) and jobs deduct from it. Check the pricing page for current pack prices and how many credits a multi-step workflow uses.
What happens to my uploaded files?
Uploads are stored in encrypted S3 storage. Original files are deleted 24 hours after job completion. Result files are available for download for 7 days. We do not use your media to train models.
