# Upscaling a video

> Make a video larger while it keeps its shape — choose the upscale factor and Precise or Creative detail, and see the output size before you pay.

Video upscale makes a video larger while it keeps its shape — *"with faithful upscaling or creative detail enhancement."* When Studio offers it, you find it under **Revisions** on Studio's home.

## Upscale a video

1. Press **Start from a clip** and choose an MP4 from your Gallery. You can trim it to a shorter stretch.
2. Under **Upscale settings**, set the **Upscale factor** — from 1.5× to 3×, starting at 2×. The page shows the size you will get — **Expected:** the width and height, and 1080p, 2K or 4K.
3. Choose the **Detail mode**:
   - **Precise** — *"Keeps the detail faithful to your clip."*
   - **Creative** — *"Adds new detail guided by your words."* You can guide it in the words box: *"Guide the added detail — optional."*
4. Check the price on **Make** and press it.

When it is ready, compare before and after; the page shows the actual output size.

## Good to know

- Upscale takes MP4 files. Another format is refused with *"This video could not be prepared — choose another MP4."*
- The price depends on the output's length, its size and the detail mode — **Precise** costs less than **Creative**. You are never charged more than the price you saw.
- If an upscale cannot be made, every credit comes back.
