What is video upscaling?
Video upscaling is the process of increasing a video’s resolution, making it look sharper and more detailed on higher-resolution screens.
It works by taking the original video and creating extra pixels to reach a larger size (for example, converting 720p to 1080p or 1080p to 4K). Although upscaling can be done with basic resizing methods, Kapwing uses AI upscaling, which intelligently restores missing detail and reduces blur, noise, and compression artifacts.
What file types does Kapwing support?
Kapwing supports major video file types like MP4, MOV, and WebM. You can download your upscaled video as an MP4 or export it from the studio as MOV or WebM.
Do I need to write an upscaling prompt?
No, Kapwing's Upscale Video tool works without a prompt. All you need to do is upload your video and click to generate the upscaled version.
