About
FreeUpscaler gives video and images two distinct ways to upscale. The free local methods decode and process the file inside the browser, on your own GPU. They do not upload the file, ask for an account, add a watermark or cap the number of runs. Load the page, disconnect from the internet and the local tier still works.
When a file needs a higher ceiling, optional cloud AI models run on our servers for credits. They upload that file for the job, show the price on the Run button before anything is sent, and charge per run rather than by subscription. Cloud results are kept for 30 days unless you delete them.
The site explains which method fits which material instead of calling every option "AI." Balanced handles most local jobs in a few seconds per minute of 1080p video; Live Action trades speed for better repair on compressed footage. Cloud choices separate faithful precision models from generative models that draw new detail. Local video processing works best in desktop Chrome or Edge.
