Stop Burning Diffusion Credits on Built-In Upscalers
Most text-to-video and image-to-video diffusion models—including OpenAI Sora, Runway Gen-3 Alpha / Gen-4, Kling AI, Luma Dream Machine, Pika, Hailuo MiniMax, and local Wan 2.1 / HunyuanVideo / ComfyUI workflows—render natively at 480p, 720p, or 1080p because spatio-temporal attention scales quadratically with resolution. Built-in generator upscalers routinely charge $0.50–$2.00 per 5-second clip.
With UpscaleX, you can upscale those 5–10 second AI clips to 3840×2160 4K for $0.00 in your browser via WebGPU, or for just $0.01–$0.02 per clip on dedicated NVIDIA RTX 4090 Real-ESRGAN cloud GPUs.

| AI Generator | Typical Native Output | Best UpscaleX Model | Cost for 10s 4K Clip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sora / Veo / Runway Gen-3 & Gen-4 | 1280×720 or 1920×1080 (24fps) | Sharpen (preserves cinematic film grain) | $0.00 (Browser) / $0.02 (Cloud RTX) |
| Kling / Hailuo MiniMax / Luma | 720p–1080p (24–30fps) | Restore (cleans latent diffusion shimmer) | $0.00 (Browser) / $0.02 (Cloud RTX) |
| Wan 2.1 / HunyuanVideo / ComfyUI | 832×480 or 1280×720 (16–24fps) | Cloud RTX Restore 4K (4× RRDB recovery) | $0.00 (Browser) / $0.02 (Cloud RTX) |
