Upscale your videos to 2x resolution with RealBasicVSR, a temporal AI model that analyzes neighboring frames
to recover sharper detail with better consistency over time. UltraRes runs entirely on your Mac using Core ML,
with the GPU and Neural Engine working together on supported Macs — no uploads or cloud processing required.
Before & After
Left: original — Right: upscaled with UltraRes. Details like foliage, window frames, and fur become sharper and clearer.
Features
- 2x AI Upscaling — Doubles video resolution (e.g. 1080p → 4K, 4K → 8K)
- RealBasicVSR Temporal AI — Uses a five-frame window, motion alignment, and bidirectional processing for more consistent detail
- Apple Silicon Acceleration — Runs GPU and Neural Engine work concurrently on supported Macs, with automatic GPU fallback
- Private, On-Device Processing — Your videos stay on your Mac with no uploads or cloud processing
- Temporal Preview — Before/after comparison with zoom controls using the same multi-frame processing as export
- Multiple Codecs — Export as H.264, H.265 (HEVC), or ProRes 422
- Batch Processing — Upscale multiple videos in a queue
- Audio Passthrough — Preserves the source audio without re-encoding
- VR180 Aware — Processes side-by-side stereo views independently for consistent results
- Drag & Drop — Simply drop a video file onto the app to get started
