Video Upscaler
For clips you generated here and footage you already had — raise the resolution before you export.
Pick a factor. A 720p source comes back at 1440p or 2880p equivalent.
No prompt. Hand it a video, choose the factor, run.
Credits are calculated from length and factor, and shown before the job starts.
What is the video upscaler?
The upscaler does not generate video. It processes video you already have and raises its resolution. There is no prompt and no reference image — the inputs are a video file and a scale factor. Use it to finish clips generated on this site, or on low-resolution footage you brought with you.
Nothing to write. Hand over the video and choose a factor.
The content stays as it is. Only the resolution changes — no new scenes appear.
It draws on the shared balance used by the video and image models, so there is nothing extra to sign up for.

Scale factor and credit cost
Use it when resolution is the only thing wrong with the video. Cost depends only on duration and scale factor.
1x and 2x cost the same
They fall in the same rate band, so there is little reason to process without upscaling. Only 4x costs ~1.75x more.
60 credits for 5s at 2x
120 for 10s, 360 for the 30s cap. Cost depends only on duration and factor, and is shown before you run.
Failed jobs are not charged
If processing fails, no credits are consumed. It draws on the same balance as the video and image models.
A real 2x run
A 720×406, 5.08-second clip from this site’s own library, processed at 2x. Switch between the two to compare.

Why upscale instead of regenerating
When you like a clip and only the resolution falls short, regenerating gives you a different clip — new framing, new motion. Upscaling keeps the take you already chose and raises the resolution around it.
Keep the take you liked
A regeneration is a different video. An upscale is the same video, larger.
Cheaper than regenerating short clips
A 5-second clip at 2x is about 60 credits — less than generating those 5 seconds again on Kling 3.0.
Finishes what you made here
Draft on a low-cost model, then upscale only the takes that survived.
Works on footage from anywhere
The source does not have to be generated on this site — any uploaded video works.
Upscaler features
What you can set when upscaling video.
1x / 2x / 4x factor
Output resolution follows the factor. The default is 2x.
Video upload input
Upload one video to process. Prompts are not used.
Cost preview
Credits are computed from length and factor, then shown.
No charge on failure
If a job fails, no credits are consumed.
Shared credit balance
The same balance as the Kling video and image models.
Async processing
Start it and move on. Finished files appear in your history.

How to upscale a video
Three steps.
Upload the video
Pick the clip to upscale — one you generated here, or one of your own.
Choose the factor
Select 1x, 2x or 4x. The credit cost appears as soon as you choose.
Run and collect
Start the job. The finished file is available from your history.
What people use it for
Best on video where resolution is the only gap.
Finishing generated clips
Draft cheaply, then raise only the takes you kept.
Old footage
Bring low-resolution material up to the size today's screens expect.
Export prep
Once the edit is locked, raise it to match where it is being published.
Video upscaler FAQ
Common questions about upscaling.
You can try it within your free credits without paying anything extra, but each job consumes credits, so it is not unlimited. The exact amount is shown before you run it.
It is metered per second of video. A 5-second clip is roughly 60 credits at 2x and roughly 106 at 4x. Resolution and frame rate do not change it.
We cap it at 30 seconds, and files must be under 50MB.
No. The upscaler is Topaz Video Upscaler, a separate model from the Kling series. It does share the same credit balance as the Kling video and image models.
No. It raises resolution; it does not generate new scenes or takes. Framing and motion stay as they were.
Failed jobs do not consume credits.
