4K and 8K upscaling
Enlarge videos to higher resolutions, including 4K and 8K, with AI processing intended to improve visible detail, sharpness, and colour.
Nero AI Video Upscaler PRO 2026 is a Windows application for enlarging and enhancing video with AI. It is designed for restoring older footage, improving low-quality clips, and preparing videos for smoother or higher-resolution playback.
Nero AI Video Upscaler PRO 2026 is an AI-powered video enhancement application for Windows 10 and 11. It enlarges films, recordings, and clips to higher resolutions, including 4K and 8K, while aiming to improve sharpness, detail, colour, and clarity. Users can also enhance a selected clip within a video without pre-cutting the source file.
The application combines model-based upscaling with restoration, face enhancement, noise and grain reduction, colour adjustment, and AI frame interpolation. Its workflow is built around drag-and-drop import, presets, and a real-time side-by-side comparison of the original and enhanced video. It is suited to users working with older footage, low-quality recordings, animation, or projects that need smoother playback.
Enlarge videos to higher resolutions, including 4K and 8K, with AI processing intended to improve visible detail, sharpness, and colour.
Choose from Fast, Animation, Realistic, Versatile, Face Enhancement, and Restoration models for different source types and enhancement goals.
The Restoration model targets fine textures in old or low-quality footage, while the Face Enhancement model is designed to improve clarity and detail in detected faces.
Add multiple clips or entire folders in one operation, or process a specific clip within a video without pre-cutting the original file.
View the original and enhanced versions side by side during preview, then use factory presets or create custom presets for repeatable projects.
Generate intermediate frames for smoother motion at up to 120 FPS where resolution, encoder, and hardware permit, and adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and white balance.
Use the Restoration model, noise and grain reduction, and higher-resolution output to improve the appearance of archival, home, or otherwise low-quality footage.
Use the Animation model for animated or AI-generated content, then apply frame interpolation when the project needs smoother motion or higher frame-rate playback.
Apply the Face Enhancement model to projects where facial clarity is important, such as recordings containing prominent people or close-up shots.
Use AI frame interpolation to generate smoother slow-motion effects without requiring footage captured with a high-speed camera.
Import multiple videos or whole folders and use saved presets to establish a more consistent enhancement workflow across a group of files.
Download the application through Nero, drag and drop a video into it, choose an output resolution and an upscaling model, and select “Upscale video.” Multiple clips or folders can also be imported.
The listed support includes 3GP, ASF, AVI, MPEG-4 containers such as M4V, MOV, and MP4, MKV, DV Video, H.264, H.263, MJPEG, MPEG-4 Part 2, WMV, HEVC, AV1, VP9, and MPEG-2. HEVC, AV1, VP9, and MPEG-2 require additional Microsoft Store Video Extensions.
Yes. AI Frame Interpolation analyses the source frames and generates intermediate frames. It can produce output up to 120 FPS, although the maximum selectable frame rate depends on the resolution, encoder, and hardware support.
Nero states that the application includes a 7-day free trial with full functionality. Videos shorter than 30 seconds can also be upscaled for free using four of the AI models.
The supplied product page lists Windows 11 and Windows 10 as supported platforms. No macOS version is identified in the available product information.
