What does an AI video enhancer do?

It rebuilds each frame of a clip to remove what makes it look bad: grain, compression blocks, softness and low resolution. On Morphed you pick a model for the problem (Topaz, ByteDance, SeedVR2 or FLUX Video Upscale) and either keep the original size or export up to 4K.

Is a video enhancer the same as a video upscaler?

They overlap but do different jobs. An enhancer repairs a clip that looks bad at its current size; an upscaler makes a clip that already looks fine bigger. Both run in the same Morphed upscale tool, and many clips need both: clean first, then scale. If you only need more pixels, use the AI video upscaler.

Can AI fix a blurry video?

Partly. Softness from low resolution, compression or a cheap lens improves a lot. Blur from missed focus or heavy motion is baked into every frame, so it gets cleaner and crisper at the edges but will not look like a sharp shot. Detail the camera never captured cannot be recovered, only guessed.

How do I enhance video quality without making the file bigger?

Run Topaz at a 1× scale factor. It denoises and sharpens every frame and keeps the original resolution.

Which model should I use for old or grainy footage?

For noise and compressed downloads, Topaz Proteus. For faces, Topaz Iris. For old film and home video, ByteDance Upscaler's Old Film preset. For soft AI-generated clips, ByteDance's AIGC preset or SeedVR2.

Can it increase the frame rate?

Not to 60 fps. ByteDance Upscaler exports at 30 fps, the only frame-rate target Morphed offers, and there is no frame interpolation, so a choppy clip will not become smooth slow motion.

How much does AI video enhancement cost?

You pay credits per second of video. ByteDance Upscaler costs 1.5 credits a second at 1080p and 4.5 at 4K, Topaz 1.5 to 9 depending on output resolution, SeedVR2 about 9 at 1080p and 30 fps, and FLUX Video Upscale 12 to 68 by resolution and mode. A 10-second 1080p clip on SeedVR2 is 89 credits, about $1.23 on the $9 Basic plan. Creating an account is free; enhancing needs a plan from $9/month, with 30% off your first 3 months.

Will faces or text change?

They can. Generative models such as SeedVR2 and FLUX Video Upscale in Creative mode add texture that was not in the source, and small faces or on-screen text are where that shows. For client work, compare the result frame by frame before you deliver it.

Can I enhance AI-generated videos?

Yes. Most AI video models output 720p or 1080p. ByteDance Upscaler's AIGC preset is tuned for that footage, and SeedVR2 restores texture that AI clips often lack.

AI Video Enhancer

Enhance video quality with AI

An AI video enhancer repairs footage that looks bad, whether it is blurry, grainy, blocky from compression or just low-res, by rebuilding every frame with models like Topaz, SeedVR2 and ByteDance and exporting up to 4K; it cleans up what the camera captured but can't invent detail that was never recorded.

Enhance a video in 3 steps

Everything runs in the cloud. No GPU, no desktop install.

Upload the clip

Drop in the MP4 or MOV that looks soft, grainy or blocky.

Match the model to the problem

Topaz for noise and compression, ByteDance presets for old film or phone footage, SeedVR2 for soft AI clips.

Keep the size or go to 4K

Run at 1× for a pure clean-up, or enhance and upscale to 1080p, 2K or 4K in the same pass.

Pick your problem

Compressed social downloads: Blocky edges and smeared detail from re-uploads. Start with Topaz Proteus, the faithful default for most footage.
Grainy low-light phone clips: The problem is noise, not size, so run Topaz Proteus at 1× if the resolution is already fine. Try SeedVR2 when the grain comes with softness.
Old family footage and film: ByteDance Upscaler's Old Film preset is made for archival footage, and Topaz Iris helps when faces matter. Expect a cleaner picture, not a new one.
Soft AI-generated clips: Most AI video renders at 720p or 1080p. ByteDance's AIGC preset is tuned for this footage, and SeedVR2 puts texture back. Enhance the take you keep, not every take.

What it fixes

Repair first, resize only if you need to.

Denoise: Topaz Proteus cleans grain and sensor noise at the original size; SeedVR2 helps when the noise comes with softness.
Sharpen: Topaz Proteus recovers edge detail in soft footage. At 1× the clip keeps its original size.
Repair compression: Topaz Proteus repairs blocky, re-compressed footage frame by frame.
Restore old footage: The Old Film preset on ByteDance is made for archival clips, and Topaz Iris recovers faces.
Upscale when you need it: Go 1× to 4×, or straight to 1080p, 2K or 4K, when the enhanced clip also has to be bigger.
Animation and CG: Topaz Gaia 2 (exactly 2×) is tuned for animation and motion graphics.

Which model fixes what

Four enhancement engines in one tool, each priced per second of video.

Model	Fixes	Options on Morphed	Credits / second
Topaz Video Upscale	Noise, compression damage, archival footage, animation	Proteus, Iris for faces, Gaia 2 for animation (2× only) · 1× to 4×	1.5 (720p) · 3 (1080p) · 9 (4K)
ByteDance Upscaler	Phone clips, old film, AI-generated footage	General, UGC, Short Series, AIGC and Old Film presets · 30 fps · 1080p, 2K or 4K	1.5 (1080p) · 2.5 (2K) · 4.5 (4K)
SeedVR2 Video	Soft or AI-generated clips that need texture back	1080p, 1440p (2K) or 2160p (4K) target	9 (1080p, 30 fps)
FLUX Video Upscale	Hero shots that need fine detail added	Precise or Creative mode · 1.5× to 3× · clips up to 20 seconds	12 to 47.5 (Precise) · 17.5 to 68 (Creative), 1080p to 4K

A 10-second clip at 30 fps costs 15 credits on ByteDance at 1080p (about $0.21 on the $9 Basic plan), 30 on Topaz at 1080p (about $0.42), 89 on SeedVR2 at 1080p (about $1.23) and 90 on Topaz at 4K (about $1.25). Plans from $9/month, 30% off your first 3 months.

Enhancer or upscaler?

Use the enhancer when the clip looks bad at the size it is: grain from a dark room, blocks from a re-uploaded download, softness from an old camera. The fix is a model that cleans each frame, often at 1× so the resolution stays the same.

Use the AI video upscaler when the clip already looks right and you need more pixels, for example a 1080p master that has to ship in 4K. Both run in the same upscale tool; the difference is which model and scale you pick. For how the upscalers compare on the same footage, read our tested AI video upscaler ranking.

When enhancement won't help

Enhancement cleans up what the camera recorded. It can't recover what it didn't.

Detail that was never recorded: A face a few pixels wide comes back as a plausible face, not the real person. Number plates and small text are the same: the model guesses.
Missed focus and heavy motion blur: Blur baked into every frame is the hardest case. Expect a cleaner, crisper-edged clip, not a shot that suddenly looks in focus.
Faces and text can drift: Generative models such as SeedVR2 and FLUX Video Upscale in Creative mode invent texture. Check faces and on-screen text before you deliver.
Resolution and frame rate ceilings: Output tops out at 4K, and FLUX Video Upscale takes clips up to 20 seconds. ByteDance exports at 30 fps and there is no 60 fps interpolation.
