# AI Video Upscaler

> An AI video upscaler makes higher-resolution frames from low-resolution ones, rebuilding detail from nearby frames instead of just stretching each one. Kenerate AI's AI Video Upscaler takes clips of up to 5 minutes and 100 MB and outputs 720p, 1080p, 2K or 4K, with no watermark, on the free plan. It suits creators reviving soft or old footage.

## In depth

### Upscaling vs resizing
A normal resize stretches each frame on its own, so edges blur and text breaks up. AI video super-resolution looks at neighbouring frames and learned patterns to rebuild plausible detail and keep it stable from frame to frame.

### Upscaling vs frame interpolation
Upscaling raises spatial resolution — more pixels per frame. Interpolation raises temporal resolution — new frames between existing ones, for 60 fps or slow motion. They solve different problems; Kenerate's upscaler does the first and keeps your frame rate.

## FAQ
Q: What is an AI video upscaler?
A: A tool that makes higher-resolution frames from low-resolution ones. Unlike resizing, which stretches each frame, it uses nearby frames and learned patterns to rebuild detail.

Q: Can AI upscale video to 4K?
A: Yes — Kenerate's AI Video Upscaler outputs 720p, 1080p, 2K or 4K from clips up to 5 minutes and 100 MB.

Q: Is upscaling the same as frame interpolation?
A: No. Upscaling adds pixels (720p to 4K); frame interpolation adds in-between frames (24 to 60 fps or slow motion). Kenerate's upscaler keeps your frame rate.

Q: How do I enhance Sora AI video quality?
A: Upscale the clips you already have — Sora made 720p and 1080p video. OpenAI shut the Sora API down on 24 September 2026, so there are no new Sora clips; Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0 and Wan 3 are the alternatives.

Q: Does Canva have a video upscaler?
A: Canva lists a video upscaler on its own features page. On Kenerate you can upscale to 4K and then dub, subtitle or extend the clip in the same studio.

Q: Is the AI video upscaler also an enhancer?
A: Yes. Upscaling here isn't a plain resize: the AI rebuilds detail from neighbouring frames as it raises the resolution, which also cleans up softness and compression. If your clip is mainly blurry or dark rather than small, the AI video enhancer page has tips for that job; the upload and the engine are the same.

Q: Is there a free AI video upscaler?
A: It works on the free plan — sign up and use your free credits. Longer clips use one-time credit packs that never expire. Results have no watermark.

Q: What video formats can I upload?
A: Standard video files up to 100 MB and 5 minutes.
