Upscale videos

Learn how to adjust enhancement, detail, and resolution settings to upscale your videos.

The video upscaling feature in Firefly enhances visual quality by adding detail and improving the resolution of generated or uploaded videos. Upscaling improves your videos’ clarity and sharpness, letting you export at resolutions up to 4K for professional-quality results.

You can upscale videos created using the Generate video feature in Firefly or upload them directly to the Edit tab.

Select the Upscale icon from the left toolbar to open the upscale settings panel.

The Edit tab is open and displays video upscaling options, such as Enhancement, Details, and Resolution.
The upscale settings panel appears beneath the video preview, with various setting categories.


In the Enhancement section, select:

  • Precise for maintaining a natural look with minor improvements.
  • Creative for stylistic refinement and boosting the overall appearance.

In the Details section, select:

  • Subtle for light texture enhancement.
  • Bold for strong detail restoration and vivid clarity.

In the Output resolution section, select:

  • 1080p for standard HD playback.
  • 4K for maximum clarity on large screens.
Tip

If you want natural results, start with Precise enhancement and Subtle details. For dramatic effects, try Creative and Bold.

Select Generate in the bottom-right corner to process your video with the chosen settings.

Note

The generative credits usage indication next to the Generate button indicates the amount of credits each edit will consume. The Show edit history icon next to it will display your video editing history in a strip above the prompt bar.

Once processing completes, your enhanced video appears in the preview area. You can select the download button in the top-right corner to save your upscaled file, or use Prompt to edit the video through text prompts.
