Best AI Video Upscalers in 2026
TensorPix leads this chart of 32 (8.3/10, free plan). Cutout.Pro is next (8.2/10, free plan), and Media.io AI Video Upscaler is the next highest-placed with a free plan (8.1/10). AI video upscalers can raise resolution or improve how footage looks. Consider a tool’s top output resolution and the enhancement options it offers when deciding whether it suits your needs. Check the platforms listed for a tool before choosing. Android availability can matter on a Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO phone, but do not assume a desktop or web tool has an Android app.

Choosing well
Which platforms does it need to run on?
Look for the platform you intend to use in the tool’s listing—options include Android, web, Windows, macOS and Linux.
If you want to work from a Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO phone, check specifically for Android support rather than assuming a web or desktop option will suit your workflow.
What output resolution do you need?
Compare the tool’s highest stated output resolution with the size you want for your finished video.
A tool's maximum output setting does not by itself tell you which enhancement modes it offers, so check both.
Which video enhancement features matter?
Check the enhancement modes for the kind of improvement you want, and look for frame interpolation if you want to change motion smoothness.
For larger workloads, compare batch processing, supported video formats and API access.
Can you try it before paying?
Review whether a free plan or trial is offered, along with any stated entry-level paid price.
Media.io AI Video Upscaler has a free plan; Pixop instead lists a 14-day trial and no free plan.
Do you need an open-source tool?
If open-source status is important, look at the project details: SeedVR2 is identified as open source, while Real-CUGAN is identified as free.
Questions people ask
Can I upscale video on an Android phone?
Android availability varies by tool. Check the platform information for the specific option before choosing it for a Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO phone.
What should I compare in an AI video upscaler?
Look at maximum output resolution, enhancement modes, frame interpolation, batch processing, supported video formats, available platforms and pricing.
Are there free AI video upscalers?
The list includes tools described as free or as having a free plan. Check the individual pricing details, since a free trial is different from a free plan.
What is the difference between a free plan and a free trial?
A free plan is listed as a plan; a free trial is time-limited. Pixop, for instance, lists a 14-day trial but no free plan.
Can I upscale video in a web browser?
The comparison includes tools listed for web use. Check the specific tool’s platform details to confirm whether it offers browser access.
