What you can do

Upscale to 4K in one click

Choose 2× or 4× scale factor. The AI reconstructs missing pixels, sharpens edges, and outputs up to 3840 px — true 4K from footage shot on phones, drones, or older cameras. Try it now.

5 specialized Topaz AI models

Proteus handles general footage. Artemis HQ is tuned for live action. Gaia HQ excels on CG and animation. Nyx balances speed with quality. Starlight HQ delivers high-fidelity enhancement. Pick the model that matches your source material.

AI noise reduction and detail recovery

Beyond resolution scaling, the AI removes compression artifacts, reduces grain from high-ISO footage, and recovers texture in faces, text, and fine patterns — the kind of detail a simple resize destroys.

Batch processing for multi-clip projects

Upload up to 50 videos and run 10 concurrently. Queue an entire project — wedding reels, product demos, social content — and let the pipeline work through the set while you do other things.

No install — runs in your browser

No desktop software, no GPU requirement, no plugin. Upload a video, pick settings, and the AI renders in the cloud. Works on any device with a browser — Mac, Windows, Chromebook, even a tablet.

Preserves audio and framerate

The upscaler enhances the visual track without touching your original audio, timing, or framerate. What you get back is the same video with sharper visuals — ready to edit, publish, or enhance further with image upscaling.

Get started

How to use

1

Upload your video

Drag and drop or browse to upload your video file. Supports MP4, MOV, and WebM — up to 500 MB per file.

2

Choose model and scale factor

Pick one of 5 AI models (Proteus, Artemis HQ, Gaia HQ, Nyx, or Starlight HQ) and select 2× or 4× upscaling. Preview a frame before committing.

3

Download your 4K video

The AI processes your video in the cloud — no GPU needed on your end. Download the enhanced result with original audio and framerate preserved.

Who it's for

Use cases

Restore old or low-resolution footage

Family videos from the 2000s, archival clips, early-smartphone recordings — upscale them to 4K so they look presentable on modern screens without the blur and block artifacts of the original.

Upscale drone and action cam footage

GoPro and DJI clips shot at 1080p look dramatically better at 4K. The AI sharpens landscapes, recovers fine detail in foliage and water, and reduces the noise that high-speed sensors introduce.

Prepare social content for large screens

Vertical 720p content created for phones falls apart on TVs and projectors. Upscale to 4K before repurposing for presentations, trade-show displays, or digital signage.

Enhance AI-generated video

AI video models sometimes output at lower resolutions or with soft details. Run the output through the video upscaler to sharpen edges, boost resolution, and make AI-generated clips match live-action quality for your final cut.

Wedding footage rescued from 720p

Our 2015 wedding was shot on a budget camera at 720p. I ran all 45 minutes through Sunra's upscaler with Artemis HQ and the result looks like it was filmed yesterday. My wife cried watching it on our new TV.

Batch processing saved us a full day

We had 38 product demo clips that needed upscaling before a trade show. Queued them all at once, went to lunch, and came back to 4K renders. Previously this was a full-day job with desktop software.

Gaia HQ is incredible for animation

I upscale short animations for client presentations. Gaia HQ preserves clean lines and flat colors perfectly — no hallucinated texture, no edge ringing. It understands that CG isn't real footage.

No GPU, no problem

I work from a Chromebook when I travel. Being able to upscale client footage in the browser without installing anything means I can deliver on deadlines from anywhere.

Drone footage went from good to stunning

DJI Mini shoots at 2.7K which is awkward for 4K timelines. The upscaler fills in the missing resolution cleanly — no sharpening halos, no noise amplification. My aerial reels look twice as expensive now.

Free credits let me test before committing

I was skeptical about AI upscaling — tried it on three clips using the free daily credits. The quality convinced me to upgrade. ROI was immediate because I stopped paying for a Topaz desktop license.

FAQ

Questions & answers

Is the AI video upscaler free?
Yes. Every Sunra account gets free daily credits — enough to upscale several clips at no cost. No credit card required to sign up. If you need higher volume, paid plans offer more credits and priority processing.
How do I upscale a video to 4K with AI?
Go to the video upscaler, upload your video (MP4, MOV, or WebM), choose a model and a scale factor (2× or 4×), then hit Upscale. The AI processes your video in the cloud and delivers the enhanced version — no software to install.
What is the best AI video upscaler?
It depends on your footage. Proteus is the best all-round model. Artemis HQ is optimized for live-action film. Gaia HQ excels on animation and CG. Sunra lets you try all five models on the same clip so you can compare results before committing.
What is the difference between video upscaling and video enhancing?
Upscaling increases resolution — turning 720p into 4K by generating new pixels. Enhancing improves visual quality at the same resolution — reducing noise, sharpening detail, removing artifacts. Sunra's AI does both simultaneously: it upscales resolution while enhancing quality.
Can I upscale video online without installing software?
Yes. Sunra runs entirely in your browser. Upload your file, the AI processes it on cloud GPUs, and you download the result. No desktop app, no GPU requirement — works on Mac, Windows, Chromebook, or any device with a modern browser.
What video formats and resolutions are supported?
Input: MP4, MOV, and WebM. The upscaler supports 2× and 4× scale factors with a maximum output of 3840 px (4K) on any dimension. Audio and framerate are preserved. For image upscaling, see the image upscaler.
What is the best free site to enhance video quality?
Sunra's video upscaler runs entirely in the browser with free daily credits, no watermark, and no install. Upload a clip, pick an AI model, and download the enhanced result. Unlike app-based enhancers, it works on any device with a browser.
How do I make a low-quality video high quality?
Low quality usually comes down to missing resolution and compression noise. Upload the video to the video upscaler, choose a model that matches your footage (Artemis HQ for live action, Gaia HQ for animation), and select 2× or 4× scale. The AI rebuilds lost detail, removes artifacts, and outputs a sharper high-resolution version.
Do I need an app to enhance video quality?
No. Sunra works in the browser on iPhone, Android, and desktop — there is no app to install. Open the video upscaler on any device, upload your clip, and the enhancement runs on cloud GPUs regardless of your hardware.
How do I upload videos in high quality without losing quality?
Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube re-compress every upload, so the sharper your source, the better the final result. Upscaling a 720p or 1080p clip to 4K before posting gives the platform's compressor more detail to work with, so the published video keeps noticeably more sharpness.
