Is the video upscaler really free?

Yes, for short clips. Signing up is free, and a new account starts with 20 credits; at 3 credits a second they upscale the first 6 seconds of a clip to 1080p. On the free plan your balance tops back up to 10 credits each day you sign in, which covers another 3 seconds. Longer upscales need credits from a paid plan or a credit pack, and the price always shows before you run it.

What the video upscaler can't do

The output is 1080p, not higher; for a still such as a cover or a thumbnail, the image upscaler is the better tool. Each run takes up to 15 seconds of video from a file of up to 20 MB, so upscale a longer clip in shots or only its first seconds. It sharpens the detail that is in the footage, but it cannot bring back a face, a logo, or text that the blur has wiped out.

Upscaling AI-generated clips

AI video models often render at 480p or 720p to save time and credits. Draft at the lower resolution, pick the take you keep, and upscale only that one to 1080p, so you pay for the upscale once instead of rendering every draft at full resolution.

Frequently asked questions

Is this video upscaler free?

Yes, to start. A new Solmi account gets 20 free credits, enough to upscale the first 6 seconds of a clip to 1080p, and on the free plan the balance tops back up to 10 credits a day (3 more seconds). Beyond that the upscale costs 3 credits a second, with the total shown before you generate.

Can it upscale video to 4K?

No. The video upscaler outputs 1080p. For stills, the Image Upscaler goes to 4K, which is usually the better route for a cover or thumbnail.

How long can the video be?

Each run upscales up to 15 seconds from a file of up to 20 MB. With a longer clip, choose how many of its first seconds to upscale, or split the footage into shots first.

Does the upscaled video have a watermark?

On the free plan, yes: a small Solmi watermark along the bottom. Any plan or credit pack lets you switch the watermark off, and keep the clip private. You download a plain MP4.

Does Solmi upscale full music videos?

Yes, inside the music video generator, where 1080p export is part of the render on paid plans.
