why Snippt video upscaler?

the same technology trusted by film studios, now available to everyone

snippt AI engine

powered by fal-ai/topaz - the same AI used in professional post-production. cinema-grade quality for every clip.

smart face recovery

AI detects and restores every face in the frame. no plastic skin, no smeared features.

film restoration

rescue old home videos, archival footage, and analog transfers. removes grain and damage.

animation mode

dedicated model for anime, cartoons and illustrated content. preserves clean edges.

noise reduction

strip compression artifacts, H.264 blocking, and ISO noise before scaling for sharper results.

frame interpolation

AI generates in-between frames to smooth out choppy 24fps to fluid 60fps motion.

frequently asked questions

we support MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV and WebM files up to 500MB. for best results, upload the original source file rather than a re-exported or compressed version.
short clips (under 30 seconds) typically take 1-3 minutes. longer videos can take 5-15 minutes. cinema mode takes slightly longer but delivers the best results.
use cinema mode for the best overall quality — it handles people, landscapes, and AI-generated footage equally well. use film restore for old or archival footage, and animation for anime or cartoon content.
output resolution depends on your input and scale factor. a 1080p video at 4x scale outputs as 4K. the AI also enhances texture and detail beyond simple pixel multiplication.
no watermarks, ever. pro subscribers get cinema mode, film restore, and 4x scale. free tier gets standard and animation modes. upgrade to pro for full access.
first time? quick tips for the best results beginner

best input

  • original source files - not re-exported copies
  • footage shot in good lighting conditions
  • MP4 or MOV for fastest upload
  • use film restore for old or grainy footage

avoid

  • heavily compressed or re-encoded video
  • footage already upscaled by another tool
  • clips longer than 10 minutes
  • files over 500MB - compress first
how it works
three steps. no editing skills needed.
1

upload your video

drag and drop any MP4, MOV, AVI or MKV file up to 500MB. the AI analyses the content automatically.

2

choose mode and scale

pick the mode that matches your footage type and your target output resolution. standard is free, cinema mode is our most powerful.

3

download your HD video

processing takes 1-15 minutes depending on clip length. drag the comparison slider to see what changed, then download.

FAQ
common questions
standard and animation are fast and great for most clips. cinema mode and film restore use more powerful AI and take slightly longer but produce noticeably sharper results. use cinema mode for anything you want to look professional, and animation specifically for anime or illustrated content.
no - AI upscaling adds genuine detail rather than just stretching pixels. the models are trained to hallucinate plausible detail that should have been there at higher resolution. the result is sharper and more detailed than the original, not just bigger.
yes. face recovery detects and processes every face in the frame independently. for group shots or crowd scenes, enable face recovery in the enhancements section for the best results on all subjects.
credits are only deducted when upscaling completes successfully. if processing fails for any reason, your credits are automatically refunded. you can retry immediately at no extra cost.
