VdoBloom’s Video Upscaler page has a new engine, simply called Video Upscaler. It upscales a clip to 1080p, 2K or 4K for 0.6, 1.2 or 2.4 credits per second of video. A 10 second clip costs 6 credits at 1080p, 12 at 2K and 24 at 4K. It keeps the clip’s shape, frame rate and sound, and takes clips up to 60 seconds and 50 MB. The exact cost for your clip shows before you start, and a failed job is refunded.

Quick facts
- Price: 0.6 credits per second to 1080p, 1.2 to 2K, 2.4 to 4K. Minimum 2 credits.
- Clip length: up to 60 seconds.
- File size: up to 50 MB (MP4, MOV or WebM).
- Kept as is: aspect ratio, frame rate, length and sound.
- Output: MP4.
- Speed in our tests: a 6 second clip took 42 seconds to 1080p and 67 seconds to 2K.
What it costs for common clips
| Clip length | To 1080p | To 2K | To 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 seconds | 3 credits | 6 credits | 12 credits |
| 10 seconds | 6 credits | 12 credits | 24 credits |
| 15 seconds | 9 credits | 18 credits | 36 credits |
| 30 seconds | 18 credits | 36 credits | 72 credits |
| 60 seconds | 36 credits | 72 credits | 144 credits |
The price depends only on the length of your clip and the size you pick. Frame rate does not change it, so a 60 fps clip costs the same as a 24 fps one.
How the output size works
You pick a target, not a multiplier. The clip is scaled until it fits that target, and nothing is cropped.
| Target | Landscape clip fits inside | Portrait clip fits inside |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 1920 x 1080 | 1080 x 1920 |
| 2K | 2560 x 1440 | 1440 x 2560 |
| 4K | 3840 x 2160 | 2160 x 3840 |
In our test, a 1920 x 1080 clip at 60 fps sent to 2K came back at 2560 x 1440, still 60 fps and the same length to the frame.

Which upscaler to pick on VdoBloom
The page now has four engines. They do different jobs.
| Engine | Best for | Limits | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Video Upscaler (new) | A clean clip that only needs more pixels, at the lowest price | 60 seconds, 50 MB | 0.6 / 1.2 / 2.4 credits per second (1080p / 2K / 4K) |
| P-Video Upscale | Bigger files that need a plain upscale | 60 seconds, 500 MB, 60 fps | 1.6 / 3.2 / 6.4 credits per second up to 30 fps; double above 30 fps |
| Topaz Proteus | Noisy or compressed footage and soft faces: it repairs while it upscales | 60 seconds, 500 MB, 60 fps | Depends on the clip; shown before you start |
| Topaz Video Upscale | Long videos, up to 10 minutes | 10 minutes | 3.2 credits per second (5.6 at 4x), minimum 30 |
A simple rule: if the clip already looks clean, for example an AI video you made at 720p, use Video Upscaler. If it is old, noisy or blocky, use Topaz Proteus. If it is longer than a minute, use Topaz Video Upscale. Our guide to fixing old, low-quality video covers the repair cases in detail.
What upscaling can and cannot do
- It can: give a soft 480p or 720p clip a sharper 1080p, 2K or 4K version that holds up on a big screen or a 4K upload.
- It cannot: bring back detail that was never recorded, fix heavy motion blur, or correct a warped face or hand in an AI clip. Fix those first by regenerating the clip, then upscale.
A workflow that saves credits
- Make your AI video at 480p or 720p while you are still testing the prompt.
- When the motion is right, upscale that clip instead of rendering again at a higher resolution.
- Pick 1080p for phones and social posts, 2K or 4K for YouTube and large screens.
