Upscale Video

popnow/video-upscaler-v1/upscale

Price

Option	Credits (per second of output)	US dollars
`1080p`	0.9	$0.009
`720p`	0.9	$0.009
`2k`	1.8	$0.018
`4k`	3.6	$0.036

Parameters

Field	Type	Default	Allowed	What it does
`video_url`Required	`string`	—	—	The clip to upscale, 3 to 60 seconds long. Length, motion and the audio track are kept; clips outside that range are rejected before any charge.
`resolution`Optional	`string`	`1080p`	720p, 1080p, 2k, 4k	Output tier: a pixel budget with the clip's aspect ratio kept, so an 832x480 clip at 1080p comes back at 1896x1094. Sets the per-second rate.

Example request

This request runs as it is; any field you leave out uses its default. Put your key in POPNOW_API_KEY first.

The example uses PopNow sample files in video_url. Replace them with your own public HTTPS links, uploads or saved assets.
