Video Upscaler

Video UpscalingVideo-to-VideoPer-Second Billing

Video Upscaler is APIXO’s video-to-video API for enhancing one source video to a higher output resolution. Pick a target tier, submit a public video URL, and receive the upscaled result through an asynchronous task. Use it only with videos you own or are authorized to process.

Capabilities

Purpose-built upscaling for authorized videos

Selectable Output Tiers

Choose 1080p, 2K, 4K per task. When no tier is sent, the API uses 1080p.

Single-Video Workflow

Each task accepts exactly one public source video URL, keeping batch pipelines simple: one task per clip.

Pay per Source Second

Cost follows the length of the video you submit, with a 5-second billing minimum and up to 600 seconds per task.

Async Processing

For short clips, APIXO recommends the first status poll about 30 seconds after task creation, then every 10–20 seconds.

Callback Recommended for Long Jobs

Longer or higher-resolution videos take more time. Provide a public HTTPS callback URL to receive the result automatically instead of polling.

Motion Preserved

Upscaling works on the footage you provide: it does not add new scenes or change the edit, so heavily compressed or blurry sources may still show their original flaws.

Notes & FAQ

Video Upscaler processing guidance

Notes

Each upscaling task requires exactly one source video.

The source video URL must be public and directly accessible by the service.

Use this API only for videos you own or have permission to process.

Billing is per second of source video, with a 5-second minimum and a maximum of 600 seconds per task.

Upscaling cannot recover detail that was never captured; heavily compressed sources may keep visible artifacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can choose 1080p, 2K, 4K. If the request omits the tier, 1080p is used.

The chosen tier sets a per-second rate, which is multiplied by the source video’s duration. Short videos are billed as at least 5 seconds.

The final charge depends on the length of the uploaded video, which is only known after it is processed, so the estimate shows the rate for the selected tier.

Not necessarily. Upscaling increases the output resolution, but it cannot fully restore detail that was lost to heavy compression, motion blur, or poor focus.

No. Use the API only on videos you own or have permission to process.
