About this skill
Leverage advanced AI algorithms to significantly increase the resolution and improve the visual quality of both images and videos. The `fal-upscale` skill intelligently reconstructs details, removes artifacts, reduces noise, and enhances clarity, transforming low-resolution media into high-definition assets suitable for various applications, from digital displays to print.
Best use case
Improve the quality of old photos or videos, prepare low-resolution media for high-definition screens, enhance visual assets for presentations or marketing materials, or recover detail from compressed or pixelated footage.
Upscale and enhance image and video resolution using AI
A new version of the input image or video with significantly higher resolution, improved sharpness, greater detail, and reduced noise or artifacts, making it appear clearer, more vibrant, and professionally enhanced.
Practical example
Example input
{"media_url": "https://example.com/low_res_vacation_photo.jpg", "target_resolution": "4K", "enhance_details": true, "remove_noise": true}Example output
{"upscaled_media_url": "https://fal.ai/processed/upscaled_vacation_photo_4K.jpg", "original_resolution": "1280x720", "new_resolution": "3840x2160", "estimated_cost_usd": 0.08, "processing_duration_seconds": 25}When to use this skill
- When an image or video is blurry, pixelated, or simply too low in resolution for its intended purpose and requires advanced AI-driven enhancement beyond simple scaling to achieve professional visual quality.
When not to use this skill
- When the media is already high-resolution and satisfactory, when simple resizing (without AI enhancement) is sufficient, when processing speed and low cost are paramount over maximum visual quality, or when sensitive media cannot be sent to external services.
