What the model put back
Drag to compare. Every pair is one source clip and its upscaled render.
Cinematic landscape
A 720p render taken to 4×.
Archival interview
Compression artefacts cleared on the advanced engine.
Product close-up
Fine texture held rather than smoothed away.
Upload, pick a factor, compare the result
Upload your clip
The file goes into your workspace rather than being streamed from a link, so the run reads it directly. Uploads are capped at 200 MB.
Pick a scale factor
1×, 2× or 4× on the simple engine, or 1× to 4× on the advanced one. The factor and your source resolution together decide the price tier before you commit.
Render and compare
Runs in about five to ten minutes. The result step opens with a before and after you can drag between, and the finished clip lands in your library.

Scale factor, model, and how much the model invents
The simple engine takes one decision. Advanced opens nineteen Topaz video models behind the same upload, and renders only the controls the model you picked actually takes.
-
Upscale factor
1×, 2× or 4× simple; 1× to 4× advanced
Multiplies both dimensions. 2× is the default. Factor 2 on a 1080p source is the 1080p tier — only above 2× do you reach 4K and above.
-
Mode
Image or video
One app, two pipelines. Simple video is a flat charge per job; advanced video is charged per second of output.
-
Model
Nineteen Topaz video models
Proteus, the Artemis and Gaia families, Nyx for low-light footage, and the Starlight recovery models.
-
Output frame rate
30 or 60
The rate the clip is rendered at, and a price band. It is not frame interpolation — no interpolation is offered.
-
Restoration controls
Denoise, sharpen, compression repair, halo, grain
On the advanced engine, alongside subject detection and face enhancement with its own strength and creativity.
Engine choice
Two ways to run it. Pick the one that matches your source.
-
Standard
DefaultOne factor, sensible defaults, a flat charge per job: 31 credits at 720p, 62 at 1080p and 245 at 4K and above.
Most footage
-
Advanced
Fine controlNineteen Topaz video models with per-parameter tuning, charged per second of output — from 30.625 credits a second at 720p and 30fps to 490 at 4K and above at 60fps.
Difficult or archival sources
Built for editors working with imperfect sources
-
Filmmakers and editors
Bring archival or AI-generated clips up to the resolution the rest of your timeline runs at.
-
Social content creators
Make phone footage hold up on a high-density display without the plastic look.
-
Agencies
Rescue client-supplied footage that arrived compressed, rather than reshooting it.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Upscale Video on BeHooked.
Does it work on AI-generated clips?
Yes. The advanced engine has a creativity control precisely for sources with no real detail to recover, where the model has to synthesise texture rather than restore it.
Does it add frames or smooth motion?
No. Frame interpolation is deliberately not offered. The 30 and 60 setting is the rate the clip is rendered at and a price band, not a request to invent frames between the ones you shot.
How long does a video take?
Between five and ten minutes for most clips. Image runs finish faster, in roughly two to five minutes.
What decides the price?
On the simple engine, the resolution the output lands in: 31 credits at 720p, 62 at 1080p and 245 at 4K and above, flat per job. On the advanced engine video is charged per second, from 30.625 credits a second at 720p and 30fps up to 490 at 4K and above at 60fps — so the frame rate moves the tier as well as the resolution.
Why does the advanced engine wait before showing a price?
Because it is billed per second, an advanced video job cannot be submitted until the clip's duration has been read. Showing no price is better than showing a misleading zero.
What happens if a run fails?
Failed runs are refunded, so a job that does not come back does not cost you credits.
What is the difference between standard and advanced?
They are two different backends. Standard takes a scale factor and charges a flat rate per job. Advanced opens nineteen Topaz video models — Proteus, the Artemis and Gaia families, Nyx for low-light footage and the Starlight recovery models — with denoise, sharpen, compression repair, halo, grain and face enhancement, and charges per second of output.
