Upscale raises the resolution of a video or an image so it looks sharp on every placement. Videos have three modes: Standard for a sharp, faithful upscale at the lowest cost, Enhanced where AI restores detail and texture, and Pro for maximum realism.
Who can use it
All paid plans. Image upscaling is free on Pro plans and above.
Where to find it
Studio > Tools > Upscale, or open any image or video in your project and click Upscale.
