AI IMAGE & VIDEO UPSCALER

AI image & video upscaler. Make it bigger. Keep it clear.

Enhance image or video resolution with MagicCanvas. Choose your media type, upload the best source you have, and open the matching HD workflow in Create.

Each button opens the corresponding Image HD or Video HD tab. Review the output settings and cost before generating.

CHOOSE YOUR SOURCE

One upscaler page, two purpose-built workflows

Images and videos need different processing. Start with the file you already have; MagicCanvas sends you to the correct HD tab instead of asking you to find the tool again.

01 / IMAGE HD

AI image upscaler

Enlarge a photo, illustration, product image, or generated artwork. The workflow focuses on resolution enhancement, so you can prepare a larger file without writing a prompt or rebuilding the composition.

Open Image HD →
02 / VIDEO HD

AI video upscaler

Improve a source clip for a higher-resolution delivery. Upload your video, choose an available 1080p or 2K setting, and inspect movement, faces, text, and fine edges in the completed result.

MORE THAN STRETCHING PIXELS

Increase resolution with detail-aware enhancement

A basic resize makes every existing pixel larger. AI upscaling analyzes the image and reconstructs a higher-resolution version, aiming to keep edges, texture, and recognizable features coherent at the new size.

That does not make every source perfect. If a face is only a few pixels wide, a label is unreadable, or a clip contains strong motion blur, the missing information cannot be verified. Treat the result as an enhanced interpretation and compare it with the original before publishing.

HD FOR MOVING SCENES

Upscale video without leaving Create

Video enhancement has an extra challenge: detail must remain stable from one frame to the next. Use the cleanest export you have, then watch the full result rather than judging one poster frame.

MagicCanvas currently exposes 1080p and 2K options for Video HD. The right choice depends on your source and delivery. A higher setting creates more pixels, but it cannot guarantee sharper content when the original is heavily compressed or out of focus.

How to upscale an image or video with AI

The workflow is simple; the quality check after generation matters just as much as the upload.

  1. 01

    Choose image or video

    Use the matching button on this page. Create opens with the correct media tab and Upscale mode selected.

  2. 02

    Upload the best source

    Choose the original file when possible. Avoid a screenshot, social-media download, or repeatedly compressed copy.

  3. 03

    Review output settings

    For video, choose an available resolution. Check the displayed cost and any current file requirements before generating.

  4. 04

    Inspect the result

    Compare both versions at full size. Check faces, text, edges, textures, and—on video—detail stability across the full clip.

PRACTICAL USE CASES

When a higher-resolution file helps

Upscaling is most useful when the composition already works and you need a larger, cleaner version for the next step.

Product photos

Prepare a cleaner, larger product image for a storefront, marketplace listing, presentation, or campaign layout. Check labels and small product features after enhancement.

Portraits and old photos

Improve the viewing size of a portrait or scanned photo. Faces can be sensitive to reconstruction, so compare eyes, hair, skin texture, and accessories with the source.

Social and creator video

Upgrade a clip before reframing, captioning, or publishing it. Video HD is useful when the final platform or edit calls for a higher output resolution.

Print and large layouts

Create a larger working file for posters, menus, presentations, and other designs. Confirm the final pixel dimensions and inspect at print size before sending the job.

SOURCE QUALITY FIRST

Get a better starting point

An upscaler works with what is present in the file. A cleaner source gives the enhancement process more useful information.

  • Use the original camera file or export when it is available.
  • Crop only when you are sure the removed area is not needed.
  • Avoid sharpening and compressing the file several times first.
  • For video, prefer a stable clip with consistent light and less motion blur.
  • Keep the original so you can compare details after enhancement.

Upscaling improves resolution, not the whole edit

Use a focused tool when your real goal is to change the composition, remove something, or create motion.

AI upscaler questions

What is an AI upscaler?

An AI upscaler creates a higher-resolution version of an image or video. It analyzes the source, enlarges it, and reconstructs visual detail instead of only stretching the existing pixels.

Can I upscale both images and videos?

Yes. MagicCanvas has separate HD workflows for images and videos. Choose the matching button on this page and Create opens on the correct media tab.

What video resolutions are available?

The current Video HD workflow is configured with 1080p and 2K output options. Availability can change, so confirm the resolution shown in Create before generating.

Will upscaling fix every blurry photo or video?

No. Upscaling can improve clarity and make a file more useful at a larger size, but it cannot reliably recover information that was never captured. Heavy motion blur, severe compression, clipped highlights, and tiny faces may still be visible.

Does image upscaling change the composition?

The Image HD workflow is intended to enhance the source rather than redesign it. Always compare the result with the original and check faces, text, logos, fine patterns, and product details before publishing.

What source file should I use?

Use the cleanest original you have. Avoid screenshots of a file when the original is available, and do not repeatedly re-save a compressed image or video before uploading it.

Is the AI upscaler free?

Check the displayed cost in Create before you generate. Cost and access depend on the media type, output settings, and your account.

Can I use an upscaled result for print or commercial work?

A higher-resolution file can be useful for print and commercial layouts, but suitability depends on the source, final dimensions, viewing distance, and your rights to the media. Inspect the exported file at its intended size before production.
