# Upscale a video to 1080p, 2K or 4K with AI

> Old phone clips, a 720p screen recording, a generated shot that came out small: pick the clip, pick a target size and the AI adds detail instead of just stretching pixels.

Sharpen old, small or low-resolution footage with an AI upscaler: ByteDance’s low-cost upscaler or FlashVSR, up to 4K. The price shows before you run it.

## How it works

1. **Select the clip** — Any video on your timeline, from a camera, a screen recording or an AI model.
2. **Choose the size and model** — 1080p, 2K or 4K with the low-cost ByteDance upscaler or FlashVSR. The price in dollars is shown first.
3. **Put it in your edit** — The upscaled clip lands on your timeline, ready to use in place of the original. Export as usual.

## Why CutLuma for this

- **Detail, not blur** — An AI upscaler rebuilds edges and texture, where a normal resize just makes the pixels bigger.
- **Pay for the seconds you need** — Trim the clip first and only the part you keep is upscaled, so the run costs less.
- **Ready for a 4K export** — Upscale a clip, then export the whole project in 4K on the Pro and Business plans.

## FAQ

**Is the video upscaler free?**

No. Upscaling runs on paid AI models and needs a paid plan, a top-up pack or, on Pro and Business, your own fal.ai API key.

**Can it fix any video?**

It helps most with soft or low-resolution footage. It cannot recover a face or text that was never in the picture, and very blocky clips may still look processed.

**Do I need the Pro plan for 4K?**

Upscaling a clip to 4K works on any paid plan, but exporting the finished video in 4K is part of Pro and Business.
