Best upscale models for each asset type
The first version exposes the models that matter most now, with dynamic pricing for video and a shared surface that can later appear across Image, Video, Library, and job actions.
Premium
Topaz Image + Video
Premium enhancement path for delivery-quality assets and tougher sources.
Fast
FlashVSR Video
Fast video upscale option for cheaper post-processing passes.
Detail
Recraft Crisp
Still-image detail and face-focused upscale for sharp references.
Quality and price guide
Pick the model by asset type, quality target, and MaxVideoAI price behavior
MaxVideoAI shows the price before generation. Image routes use the configured run price; video routes can adjust dynamically from duration, resolution, frames, and the selected upscale model.

Output
Library ready
| Model | Best for | Quality profile | MaxVideoAI price | Use when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SeedVR2 Image + Video | General-purpose upscales when you want factor or target-resolution control. | Balanced sharpness with broad image and video coverage. | Usually the baseline route; video pricing is estimated from metadata before launch. | Start here for most assets, especially when you need predictable controls. |
| Topaz Image + Video | Premium enhancement for delivery assets, difficult footage, and restoration-style passes. | Higher-end detail recovery and professional finishing bias. | Premium route; video uses resolution-based pricing and may cost more at 1440p or 4K. | Use for final selects or source media that deserves a higher-quality pass. |
| FlashVSR Video | Fast video upscales for cheaper review or social post-processing passes. | Speed-first video enhancement with practical temporal consistency. | Lower-cost video route; MaxVideoAI estimates from duration, frames, and output pixels. | Use when turnaround and cost matter more than premium restoration. |
| Recraft Crisp | Still-image references where small details, edges, and faces need extra clarity. | Crisp raster detail for image-only enhancement. | Low fixed image run pricing shown before generation. | Use for character references, product stills, and prompt assets before reuse. |
One output, reused everywhere

FAQ
Upscale details
Can it upscale video?
Yes. MaxVideoAI no longer applies a fixed 20 second cap. Video runs use metadata-based dynamic pricing and then follow the selected provider model's own limits.
Which model is the default?
SeedVR2 is the default for image and video because it supports current target-resolution and factor controls.
Will Upscale appear elsewhere?
Yes. The implementation uses a dedicated upscale surface so the same action can later be exposed from Library, generated jobs, Image, and Video flows.
