# Upscale a Video

If your footage is blurry or low-resolution, Upscale uses AI to make it sharper, clearer, and more high-definition — no editing experience required.

## How to upscale a video

1. From the Quick Start menu, click **Upscale** (the 💎 diamond icon marked **New**).

</div>

2. Add your video: paste a YouTube link, click **Upload** to select a file from your device, or click **Google Drive** to import. Videos up to 5 minutes long are supported.

</div>

3. Once your video is loaded, review the preview and click **Upscale** to begin processing. The button shows the base upscale cost (e.g. **23 credits**). Your total charge may be higher if 4K upscaling applies — see [Credit cost](#credit-cost) below.

</div>

4. When upscaling is complete, open the **History** tab and click **Download** to save your enhanced video. Upscaled videos are available for 7 days.

## Credit cost

<Info>
  The credit amount shown on the **Upscale** button (e.g. 23 credits) is the **base upscale charge**. For **4K upscaling** on **Pro, Max, and Business**, an **additional incremental charge** is calculated from your video length and added on top of the base cost.
</Info>

For 4K upscaling on Pro, Max, and Business:

* **11 additional credits** per 10-second block
* Duration is **rounded up** to the next 10-second block
* The 4K charge is **added to** the base video generation / upscale cost — it is not a flat per-minute or per-clip fee

### Example calculations

| Video length | Blocks (rounded up) | Additional 4K credits |
| ------------ | ------------------- | --------------------- |
| 30 seconds   | 3                   | 33 (3 × 11)           |
| 45 seconds   | 5                   | 55 (5 × 11)           |
