Video Upscaler
Generated on PixelDojo with Video Upscaler. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
Video Upscaler costs 1 credit for every second of your source clip, and that price does not change whether you target 720p or 4K. This page is built from the tool's own pricing formula rather than a timed run, because the charge is a fixed rate per second of input, not something that varies by scene or output tier. It covers exactly how that formula works, what it needs as input, and how it differs from the other video-editing tools in the catalog.
How the price actually works
1 credit per second, rounded up
The charge is Math.ceil(video_duration), meaning a 4.2 second clip and a 4.9 second clip both cost 5 credits. Duration is measured from the source file you send in, not the requested output.
Resolution tier does not change the price
target_resolution accepts 720p, 1080p, 2K, or 4K. All four cost the same, so there is no reason to pick a lower tier to save credits. Pick 4K if the source has the detail to support it.
Video in, video out
The only required input is a public HTTPS MP4 URL up to 500 MB and its duration in seconds. There is no prompt field. It is a resolution pass on existing footage, not a generator.
Wired into Canvas as a video-edit step
Canvas can chain it after any Canvas-generated clip, reading target_resolution and video_duration from the session's own render.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Video Upscaler
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
Flat per-second pricing
1 credit per second of your source, ceiled. A 5 second clip is 5 credits regardless of the resolution you target.
4K costs the same as 720p
The resolution tier is free to change. There is no upsell tier in the pricing, only in the file you get back.
How It Works
How a request is built, read from the tool's own schema:
Point it at a source video
video must be a public HTTPS MP4 URL, up to 500 MB, and video_duration must state its real length in seconds.
Pick a target resolution
720p, 1080p, 2K, or 4K. The default is 1080p. None of the four changes the credit charge.
The charge is set before the job runs
1 credit for every second of the source, rounded up. A 5 second source clip charges 5 credits no matter which resolution tier you picked.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Video Upscaler
What does Video Upscaler cost?
1 credit per second of your source video's length, rounded up. A 5 second clip is 5 credits, a 10 second clip is 10 credits, at any target resolution.
Does 4K cost more than 720p?
No. target_resolution accepts 720p, 1080p, 2K, or 4K and the price formula only reads video_duration. All four tiers are the same price for the same source length.
How do I call it from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/video-upscaler/run with your API key, a video URL, its video_duration in seconds, and a target_resolution. The response returns the upscaled file.
Can it upscale a video generated somewhere other than PixelDojo?
Yes. The only requirement is that the video field resolves to a public HTTPS MP4 under 500 MB. It does not have to be a PixelDojo generation.
How is this different from Video Reframe or Runway Aleph?
Video Reframe is a fixed 8 credits and changes aspect ratio, not resolution. Runway Aleph is a per-second editing model at 7 credits a second that can restyle or alter a scene, not just sharpen it. Video Upscaler only raises resolution and keeps everything else in the frame untouched.
