How do I upscale my AI photos and videos?

PhotosShoot includes a built-in AI upscaling feature that increases the resolution of your generated photos and videos with a single click — no external tools required.

How to upscale a photo:

1. Open any generated photo in your gallery

  • Click the Upscale button (upward arrow icon)

  • Choose your upscale multiplier (2x or 4x, depending on your plan)

  • Confirm — the upscaled version appears in your gallery alongside the original

    How to upscale a video:

    1. Open a completed video in your gallery

  • Click Upscale Video

  • Select the resolution option

  • Wait for processing (videos take longer than photos)

    When to use upscaling:

    - Print — For physical prints (posters, canvases, business cards), always upscale to maximum resolution

  • LinkedIn / professional use — Upscaled headshots look sharper on high-DPI screens

  • Large format social media — Full-resolution posts on Instagram, Pinterest

  • Videos — Upscale before downloading for platforms that support HD/4K

    Does upscaling improve quality or just resize? AI upscaling is different from simple resizing. PhotosShoot uses a dedicated upscaling model that adds detail during the process — recovering fine textures in skin, hair, and fabric that weren't visible at the original resolution.

    Credit cost: Upscaling uses 1 credit per image. Videos may use more depending on length. It's worth upscaling only the photos you plan to actually use rather than everything in your gallery.
