Brilliant tutorial. I've always wondered How that can be done without paying for a tool. thanks 👍
Glad it helped! Watch out for the artifacting of you're doing video footage.
this just answered my decades long question of how to preserve my video 8 videos, thank you very much, i am excited now to relive memories...
Nice! Great tutorial. A complete procedural walkthrough - exactly what I needed.
Thank you. So glad you enjoyed the inner workings of the png upscaling and reassembly. That is what I like, too.
Thank you for presenting this software, I have no idea how the heck Hitpaw and Topaz lied about a free software of AI Video Enhancer, they just turned on the monetization. I'm going to use it for uploading the first Hatsune Miku Perform Video Remastered in 1080p
Topaz does a better job though from what I've seen and is easier to use with more capabilities. I just need to buy it myself and do a head to head comparison to show strengths and weaknesses
@@DeployJeremy how about PowerDirector?
topaz lied since the beginning, promising free updates, all startup buyers got scammed
@@LoliLoveJuice I’m afraid if we ask for free or low-cost product, someone with higher income might accuse that: nothing is free, low-cost = bad quality, high-cost = good quality. Recently I tried to make transcribe for the video on the internet. I’m looking for a lot of options and hell yeh, only a few is free: OpenAI Whisper, AssemblyAI. Even Google Cloud has speech-to-text as well but they charge it about as 0,006$/minute, Google guarantee that their AI transcription is much better than OpenAI Whisper. It’s very confusing and nervous for me to decide whether I should pay or keep finding some free products to upscale, get transcribe for video
One of my comments disappear here. RUclips censor it or the bot is mad
Thanks, you talked so smooth and elaborated it completely.
It does not work. Video quality not changed even after converting to 4K using Video2x .
Great session my friend. Hey look at those subs go🎉🎉🎉
I'm the tortoise, Herr Malone 😉
@@DeployJeremy consistency, and persistency. That is the way, to a line from the Mandalorian. You are doing an awesome job 👍
This is the way.
@@DeployJeremy 😀
it doesnt work properly, it's too slow, 1 hour and half to double a size of a 1:27 min 1080 video it's too much in my opinion (I have a 3060 graphic card)
Very helpful! Thanks man!!
I hope that you will explain a practical method in another video to make sure that the special graphics unit is used instead of the integrated graphics unit
That's fair feedback. The easiest and stateful way to do this that I've found is to define the parameters in the video2x.yaml file. Search for "gpu" and for all parameters that look similar to this "gpu: 0 # gpu device no" in my case, the GPU was device #1 (not 0), so I changed them to this "gpu: 1 # gpu device no" everywhere.
How did you know that your external GPU = "1" ?
@@DeployJeremy
I was able to see in Device Manager. I think in most cases, integrated graphics will enumerate as "0" and discreet GPU will be "1". Also, instead of just trusting the enumerated order in Device Manager, you can open Task Manager and the Performance tab, and there you'll actually see the "GPU 0" and "GPU 1" listed as text strings in the resource list on the left.
@@DeployJeremy
Thank you, it helped me a lot 🌹
@@DeployJeremy what is the minimum PC requirements? Thank you
Currently I create AI animations from images.
Sometimes I need to scale parts out of videos regarding the story telling and I loose image quality.
I have try out a lot of tools out there.
Video2x is a fast solution for free and works well.
Gonna try out Flowframes too. Thanks for your video post.
It's also pretty decent with still images btw
So to make a 1080p video for it to upscale have to move scale ratio to "1.5 correct? What would 4k be 1?
The ratio is the multiplier for either axis 1080x2=2160. 4k is the same as 2160p or 3840x2160. What's interesting and why it is called 4k, is that the surface area in pixels of 3840x2160 is actually 4 times that of 1080p.
Thank You so much for helping video Mr Jeremy. Best regards.
Hi I did this but it only shows me a black screen anyone know how to fix this (Sorry for spamming but I need help)
Great video. Gonna try this out tomorrow. Subscribed!!
I used this application for a video that was shoot on my phone, but when I converted in using this app, the aspect ratio changed all together and I need to keep the same aspect ratio as I have to use the video for instagram. So how should I keep the aspect ratio intact ??
I tried upscalling an entire folder over night and the subfolder I selected along with the other subfolders and even main folder everything was in somehow deleted itself while running overnight. I tried looking at hidden folders/files and in the recycle bin. I am currently running data recovery software in the hopes I can recovery everything. I have no idea what happened.
LMFAOOOO
My 3050 Laptop GPU took almost 35 mins to upscale a 388x288 mp4 which is 5 min long to 2x scale
How was quality ?
this just doesn't work at all every time I attach the thing I want it to upscale it starts and stops after a few seconds talking about some log file
Did you unzip the zip file before running it? There should be a command line window open, that's where the commands actually run.
But it is taking much time, I appreciate your work .Thank u
It's pretty slow - even with decent hardware and GPU defined.
It don't work for me. After 4 hours i have mkv file in lower resolution instead 4K MP4 from Full HD like I chose in output. I'm wondering is it a scam?
I got an error when I clicked on start...
Me too it says Subprocess 2136 exited with code 1
1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes. so 1000 MB is less than 1 gigabyte
True. 1024 MB would have been strange to see also 😉
Btw thats actually 1024MB if you install it and check it, it will say 1024MB
YEP...

Hello, thanks for this simple tutorial. How do we customize like 720p to 1080p instead?
You can do it. Just select your 720p source, change the Scale Ratio setting from "2" to "1.5". And run it. That will move a 1280x720 video to 1920x1080.
@@DeployJeremy And what about 480p and 360p? could you please answer about that as well (I am pretty bad at maths)
@@hiteshk1 yes, it works with 240, 360, and 480p, but the results are OK, but not incredible when you upscale really low resolution video. I don't recommend going more than 2x the pixel size. 480p to 960p looks decent
@@DeployJeremycan you upscale a low quality video then run it through and upscale again?
@@justincase3230 it actually runs a second time automatically on low resolution videos. For example, if you start with a 720p video, to get to 4K, it actually runs the doubling pass twice (720-to-1440-to-2880), then it will downscale the resulting 2880p video to 2160p, aka 4k.
Question, first the screen I record on is garbage. I do have a higher resolution on it.
I have a question regarding using a 4K screen to screen record. Would that improve the quality of the video ?
Then it would be recorded native 4k. The quality of the screen hardware panel doesn't matter when recording, it's the source material, resolution and frame rate.
Thanks for the video so much, It's worth waiting for the video to be in 4K since the AI is working on cleaning all blurry.
can you use ramdisk with video2x? does this app utilize the power of gpu ie better card better speed?
Thank you for doing this!
I didn't write the tool - just to be clear.
4:03 i dont have an "output" folder on mine?
I believe you need to run one batch for it to create that folder. You can try this quickly by running upscaling on two random still images (jpg or similar files). It's also great for stills
Will check this out thanks
Thank you, clear explanation
Glad you liked it
Ok, so I can carry on using Upscayl on a rendered image sequence as Video2x will basically do the same thing. Just long render times.
If you've already got something that works, keep using it. Likewise, if I had Topaz tools, I would continue using them.
@@DeployJeremy Ok, thanks, but I think Using Upscayl for video is significantly long to process, but it does work well.
Thank you so much Jeremy.
But does it work just to make a 1080p video from a 480p for exemple ? because i did not see the options.
Yes, you can start with any resolution as far as I can tell. By default, it doubles the X and Y resolutions, but technically that is 4x the pixel count. You can also run higher or lower, the process will just keep doubling, then if the final resolution is not a multiple of 2, the process will then use ffmjpeg to downscale to your desired resolution as a final step.
@DeployJeremy Do you know an Open source software that can make a video from png (for exemple 20000 png upscaled by "Upscayl software") and then making a video out of those pictures ?
"Upscayl software" is very precise to create sharper lines.
Hello! I hope you can still see this message! first of all thank so much for this freebie! is amazing. Second am processing a cellphone video and is stretching the output file? changing the aspec ratio?dunno if you could help me please! would really appreciate it.
Good question. I've only used it with 4x3 and 16x9 aspect ratios. You could try that
4x3 doesn't stretch
It doesn't work. It says "upscaler ran into error"
same for me
Did you unzip it first?
hi I dont know how to find the folder once I already did it.
If you're just doing one video or image, the output file will be in the same location as the file you upscale. For multiple files as a batch, they are saved by default to a folder within the folder where you unzipped the original Video2x_GUI.exe download. You can also change the save location in the GUI or by using a configuration file.
It does not work. I tried it on a short 2-3 minute video. It acted like it was working but got nowhere.
Did it complete? I haven't had one run and do nothing. Did you look in the temp cache folders if images were extracted and upscaled?
By the way, and 2-3 minute video can take a full day depending on your system and the video's resolution and frame rate.
doesnt work, destroys the video and misses tons of frames resulting in a laggy video
Interesting so the thread was doing the capture frame parts then upscale it to 4k then recompile the whole dir with upscaled images with audio of the actual video file, may i know what is the interval of capturing per images on the video ? upon checking the source code i've only seen the thread part :)
Do you mean how many seconds does it take to process each image? That depends on the speed of the GPU. For me it's about 7 seconds pet frame. My gpu is only a laptop RTX A2000.
Great explanation but I do have a question, is this video convertor safe ?
I haven't done a code review on it, so I run the process on a machine disconnected from the Internet to be extra safe and because they take so long to process. The process itself runs under standard user context and the app doesn't install via MSI or similar with admin privileges.
I have one more question as I would need some further assistance from someone who has more experience than me on these things. I made a big highlight montage of a game I play. I edited it on davinci resolve and exported it in 1440p which is the same quality that the clips had. Then I wanted to add some good transitions and text so I went to cap cut. When I exported it in the highest quality possible (2k/4k) it reduced the quality making it look more pixelated and the total size went from 2.97 gb to 1.1 gb. Now the question is what do I do in this situation because basically I am stuck. I tried upscaling a small part of the montage using Video2X back to 1440 p but the "upscaled" clip took even less space and there were no noticeable changes in the quality. I tried using meitu but I obviously don't have the pro version so I can't fix such a big montage (3 minutes). Any suggestions on what to do next?
I'm sorry. I don't know.
I suppose u have to edit it all in DaVinci Resolve, bro. Capcut has a different compression and, despite being an awesome software, has limitations in exporting settings.
Holy christ. I knew it'd take long on Laptop, but my 3070M takes over 9 hours to upscale a 1min 30 sec 720p video to a factor of 2? Chirst.
That sounds too long unless it's high frame rate. My laptop with mobile RTX 2000 takes ~3 hours to 2x a 1080 30fps video.
OMG! thank you so much !!
Happy to help
is there a button within the application i need to click to choose the output resoulotion cause i want it in 1440p
Yes, you can manually specify the output resolution that you want. For a 720p native video, it will actually default output 1440p. If you're starting video is 1080p, then it first doubles the pixel count on both axes (to 3840x2160), then it will automatically run a downscaler as a second step to output 1440p. The downscale operation is radically faster than the sloooow upscale pass by the way.
@@DeployJeremy do you know where that is located? ive been looking for a few minutes now
Yes, in the Express Settings, it's the output width: set to 2560, and the output height: set to 1440. It's right in the middle of the first/main tab.
@@DeployJeremy thank you so much I’m subbing
@@Osama_Samo1 glad to help and thank you 👍
My conversion worked but I have no audio. Did I miss something?
I haven't seen that myself.
I also found I have no audio after upscaling. I upscaled 1.5 ratio from 480p. my video was about 20 minutes, all short sports clips.
How can I make sure it uses my dedicated GPU and not the integrated one? It lists them in number 0 and number 1 i presume, but i have no idea which is which
nvm you can see it in the task manager
You beat me to it. One tip: in the YAML file for preferences, you can search for "GPU" and change all of the "0" values to "1" (assuming your GPU identifies as 1), so that you don't need to keep changing the settings in the GUI. You may have already done this, but if not, I recommend doing it. It takes 5 minutes or less.
I'm trying to Upscale a 2Gig mp4 using Video2x. It's been Running now for 72 hours non-stop and is at 80%...
Does Anyone know if I will lose everything if the computer loses power, OR will it pick back up when power has been restored?
You don't want the PC to lose power. It will need to restart
I have gone through all the steps and clicked START. The upscaling process begins, the counter is moving along, but there is no progress. It recognized and shows how many frames I have in my video, 25000+. However there is nothing happening as the counter moves along even after 8 minutes. Have I missed someting?
The counter doesn't start until all of the frames of the video have been individually converted to Png files at the original resolution. This takes a long time on a longer video. Once it starts upscaling those, then the counter begins. You can go to the temp folder and watch the progress of the png file to make sure it's running
Thank you very much, Jeremy. Much appreciated!@@DeployJeremy
Encountered a problem with not enough space to save these huge files on my computer proper. The app terminated the process.
Tried typing in an alternate location to save the output files, but cannot seem to redirect them to either of my external hard drives. Hmmm.
@@377499 it will fill up your disk with a big file footprint. I never do anything longer than 25 minutes or so. You can change the temp directory. At least it deletes all of the working files once it's done
Don't reply unless you want to. I got myself in too deep for my own good. Tried creating new temp file locations on an external ssd. The GUI program did not seem to fill in all the cache, etc, blank spaces as before, so I tried setting my old temp locations back as best I could by typing them in as I remembered. Now the program will accept my file choice to work on, however the output lines down below do not fill in with anything anymore. Thereby, I cannot start the program anymore. One step forward, two steps back.@@DeployJeremy
Thank you is there something for ipad?
Nothing that runs local that I'm aware of. There are a few cloud-based upscale services, but they are not free, because it's pretty compute intensive. Some video editors like CapCut do Super Resolution on larger than source material render. I haven't researched them all tbh, so that's what I would look for in your case.
There is no difference in quality for me.
thanks man appreciate it
What's so different If I do this with Da Vinci Resolve?
Resolve has upscaling in paid versions, but I haven't tried that yet. Would be a good test.
When I clicked on the .exe file to run, Windows Defender BLOCKED it as a Dangerous File?
After you downloaded and unzipped the zip file? I've seen that with "mark of the web" direct exe download, but it's an open source exe that does not require elevated privilege to run, so normally it shouldn't trigger a block. I've installed it on two machines with Defender running and up-to-date
Ive tried 3 different videos and none of them are any different in quality? anyone else getting this problem? I've done 3 videos in 1080p and put the ratio at 2
Are you sure that you're opening the Outputted file? If it completes successfully, the output file should be noticeably different in a 4k monitor. Text or strands of hair is where I see it mostly if the starting video was relatively high quality.
@@DeployJeremy Definently,I have 2 files one has _output at the end, I tried opening with VLC player to see if that was the problem but its the same clip
@@DanielJ096 and in properties, it says 3840x2160? I've never not seen the difference. It's kind of subtle if the 1080 starting video is already well shot with lots of detail, but you still see it. If you make stills of both full framed on your 4K monitor, then zoom in 4-5x it should be very noticeable
What if you convert a 4k video to 4k again? 😅
It could sharpen the video theoretically, but would be really slow. It would make the video effectively 16k in the first pass, then downscale it using ffmjpeg back to 4k. I've used this approach before to clean up 1080p video.
Gonna try with a full lenght 102 mins 1080p video to 4k... Let's see how long it takes.
On my machine, that would take a week. Good luck
Thank you
it did the frames for me but it did not show overall progress in the overall progress bar and so I haven't got the output video, can someone help me?
Did you do one or more than one video? If just one, it will be in the same location as the source video with a file name suffix of "_output". If you did 2 or more in a single batch, it will be in the Output folder of where video2x_GUI.exe is.
@@DeployJeremy i did one video, but it's not there in the source video folder, as i mentioned there is no progress showm in the overall progress bar
managed to get the output but the video is blank except for 1 initial frame, so you have any suggestions?
I'm checking the log and it says "subprocess 8804 exited with code 0". It Kills progress monitor and then kills upscaled image cleaner, now it's downscaling. Is that normal? What's happening?
I depends on what resolution you're trying to hit and the starting resolution. If you just double, then it doesn't need to downscale. If you go up say 1.5 size, then it doubles first and downscales afterwards
When I add my video file that I want to convert, the start button is grayed out, any suggestions?
What file type did you add? As far as I know, it needs to be MP4 and MOV doesn't work

You'd normally just record the screen using OBS or similar. That should output an MP3 file. I would probably edit it more in to make the video as short as possible using CapCut (I use Camtasia). Then run the final MP3 through Video2X. It's slow and uses a lot of storage on your drive temporarily while it converts the video.

Hi I tried this tool out. After 28 hours my 2 minute long video is 11% upscaled. Is that long time normal? (sry if my english is bad)
That's a lot for a 2 minute video. It depends on how many passes you are making it take, your hardware and the framerate. It will double horizontal and vertical resolution values with each pass. So if you for example start with 360p and want 4K, first pass will get it to 720p, 2nd to 1440p, 3rd takes it to 2880p, then there is a downscale pass that takes it back down to 2160p, so 4 total runs in that example.
It's super slow tho, a 40 second video needs 4 hours to be converted into 4k
@@Killer23TrZ yes, the speed is terrible. Usually my 40 second videos will go faster tho.
The irony: the video clip is in 1080p. ;)
My process wont have any progression when I hit run, anything im missing?
It can take a few minutes until it starts showing progress. First it converts source content to png still photos, then when it starts to upscale them to 4k, at which point the progress shows. It depends how long your source video is and how fast your GPU is.

Edit: well i do it on my own but yeah this software take a really long time even a 1 minute video but what i want to know is why the dev didn't update the software anymore
You can input 3840x2160 as the output resolution, but what the tool does is 2 passes getting it first to 1440p then 2880p, then it uses ffmjpeg to downscale it to 3840x2160 as a third step.

It does. You need to modify the yaml file to have it use the GPU, which is normally device ID #1 (default is 0 and integrated graphics)
Can i upscale video to 4k in this software???
Yes, that is the main use case and where it seems to work best. It's best to start with decent source material in 1080p from my experience.
@@DeployJeremyIs there any duration limit of video to upscale?
@@mr.unique_2_0 I don't know, but it's pretty slow even on decent hardware, so I try not to upscale anything over about 20 minutes duration at a time.
@@DeployJeremy are you sure this is free software???
@@mr.unique_2_0 yes, it's open-source on GitHub.

Thanks
the problem is If I put 30 minute video, it requires more than 500gb cache space, how to fix this
hello i dun need/want 4k? does this work for my old home videos 360/480P to say 1080p? i prefer HEVC and small file size also ^^
Yes, it will upscale lower resolution videos, too. It doesn't "save" bad quality videos, but it will smooth out some of the pixelation.
Will it work for Android phone
It won't run on Android phone, but if you record your Android screen and import that into Windows, it will upscale it.
@@DeployJeremy thanks by the way is there any free upscaler on Android
How do you setup video2x?
You just need to extract the zip file and run the local exe. Optionally, if you have a discrete GPU, I recommend pointing to that in the yaml file. For me it meant changing default GPU "0" values to "1" everywhere.
@@DeployJeremy When I click the GUI exe. it says "format message W failed."
@@guittarjedi did you unzip the zip file?
Yes@@DeployJeremy
How to open
Make sure to unzip the zip file first, then you can open the GUI exe
let me read before i try let see 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
so most comment says it wont work so not wasting my time here bye bye
Wise choice. It does take a lot of time and free disk space to work properly, and you don't really want your machine to sleep, hibernate or shutdown during the process. I'm assuming those were likely the issues cited in comments.
Is it absolutely free
Yes. It's an open source project on GitHub
My computer protected me from the file and I have no idea how to open it now... Shame
Fake it show's the black screen...lol
Not following what you're saying. What black screen?
I love your account
Does this use AI?
Yes, it's a form of AI.

If I ever need to convert a page of text to 4k, this might be my option.
It works pretty well for still images, for text or other image content.
