Low-res is only welcomed when it’s chosen as an aesthetic style—not when it’s the result of a technical shortcoming. Most smartphones can now capture video in 4K, making anything lower than HD feel unwatchable. So whether you're prepping a pitch or exporting reels for Instagram or YouTube, LTX Studio’s AI video enhancer gives you the power to upscale low-res clips into high-definition (HD) or even 4K quality. 

In creative workflows—especially in advertising and production—projects often move from a MacBook-sized edit to big-screen client reviews. That’s when flaws like pixelation or loss of detail can become obvious. Now, when you use LTX Studio’s AI video enhancer, you can upscale with confidence; AI precision reconstructs detail, delivering sharp, professional results across any screen size.

This guide will show you how to upscale video using LTX Studio’s AI-powered toolset.

Video Quality Explained: HD, 4K, and the Role of AI 

Before we jump into the process, let’s unravel the basics of video quality:

  • HD (High Definition or 1080p): resolution of 1920x1080 pixels—the baseline for professional-quality online content.
  • 4K (Ultra High Definition): resolution of 3840x2160 pixels—four times the pixel count of HD—delivering sharper images and greater flexibility for post-production tasks like cropping or zooming.

While 4K is quickly becoming the industry standard for premium video content, not all footage is shot in 4K, and many social and video-sharing platforms still stream primarily in HD. If you're using older cameras, mobile devices, or sourcing archive footage, you’re often working with resolutions like 720p or 1080p—if you're lucky!

This is where AI video upscaling comes in. LTX Studio’s AI tools offer a better solution than traditional upscaling methods—instead of simply stretching pixels, LTX Studio’s AI analyzes the frame to intelligently fill in missing details. This makes it possible to improve video quality and achieve natural-looking results without the need for additional software or plugins.

Why Upscale a Video to HD or 4K?

Upscaling a video means showcasing a higher quality version to your audience – both literally and metaphorically. Poor-quality videos can appear amateur, reduce engagement, and undermine a brand’s credibility. Here’s how upscaling your videos  can make an immediate difference for the quality of your project:

  • Enhancing Draft Visuals: Present polished visuals during stakeholder or client meetings.
  • Repurposing Older Footage: Convert low quality videos to HD or or upscale 1080p video to 4K so assets can be exported in the same format as your final product
  • Consistency Across Projects: Create a visually cohesive experience by maintaining the same resolution across mixed-quality footage. 

LTX Studio uses AI to upscale video content to both HD and 4K, allowing you to deliver polished, professional visuals for each of your native projects.

How To Make a Video HD?

LTX Studio’s AI video enhancer tool makes it easy to create HD videos with professional results. Using AI to upscale your video and improve video quality offers a new solution to challenges that were previously unsolvable for video creators. While traditional upscaling tools often degrade footage—introducing blur or pixelation—LTX Studio uses an AI video enhancer that preserves edge sharpness and visual clarity.

This is ideal for creators working with:

  • Social content 
  • AI-generated storyboards

Whether you're elevating social media videos or refining a client-ready edit, LTX Studio gives you the control to deliver high-resolution results—without slowing down your creative process.
