Softpedia Review

Enhancing the clarity of your photos and videos is now possible thanks to upscaling, and the results can be staggering. While some may think that upscaling is nothing more than a kind of sharpening filter, the reality is much more complicated than that. Upscaling an image does increase the perceived sharpness, and that is achieved through a set of AI-trained algorithms.

If you're on the lookout for such a tool, trying out video2x might serve you well. It's a lossless multimedia upscaler, which utilizes the waifu2x, Anime4K, SRMD, and RealSR algorithms to enhance the clarity of the user's video and image files.

The tool may seem rather elaborate at first, but the default options can get you by just fine if you want to quickly upscale some of your content. It's worth noting that the upscaling process isn't exactly a swift one: it can take a while, and a weak processor and graphics card can exacerbate that.

Regardless, feel free to drop your photos and videos into the GUI. Mainstream extensions are supported, and upscaling GIFs is also possible. You can then press Start right away, and the tool will start the upscaling process.

As stated before, the default configuration works well. Those who like to tinker with options to maximize efficiency are also welcomed, owing to the numerous settings that can be changed and configured per your liking.

For more basic settings, users can change the upscaling driver, its processes, as well as the scaling. More in-depth options entail being able to modify the algorithm's mode, its noise level, depth, and so on — users can alter each algorithm separately.

Aside from that, you're also allowed to modify FFmpeg settings: frame extraction, video assembly, and other such options are freely changeable by the end user.

video2x is a tool capable of upscaling your multimedia content, making it look its best: it's relatively easy to use, the upscaling does indeed bring more depth and sharpness to your content, and with so many configurable options, you won't outgrow this one anytime soon.
