Video Upscale

POST
https://api.piapi.ai/api/v1/task
Video Processing

Overview#

The Video Upscale service uses Qubico/video-toolkit model to enhance video resolution. This service automatically scales up video content while maintaining quality and visual fidelity.

Service Limitations#

Video Requirements#

Resolution: Maximum 720p (1280×720)
Frame count: Between 10 and 240 frames
File size: Maximum 10MB
Format: MP4 only
Scale factor: Currently only supports 2x upscaling (doubles both width and height)

Pricing#

$0.0003 per frame processed

Notes and Best Practices#

1.
Always verify your video meets the requirements before submission:
Resolution below 720p
Frame count between 10-240
File size under 10MB
MP4 format
2.
Cost calculation example:
For a 60-frame video: 60 frames × 0.0003=0.018 per video
3.
The service currently only supports 2x upscaling, which means:
A 480p video (854×480) will be upscaled to 960p (1708×960)
A 360p video (640×360) will be upscaled to 720p (1280×720)
A 720p video (1280×720) will be upscaled to 1440p (2560x1440)
