Upscaling for Insurance & Claims
What upscaling does for insurance & claims footage, when it helps, and how BetterVideo's API applies it to the real capture.
🔒 Footage deleted on your schedule — with a certificate to prove it
- Adjusters need to read damage detail — cracks, water lines, VINs — that poor footage hides.
- Claimant footage is personal data; keeping it around indefinitely is a liability.
- Volume is high and per-claim — you need it programmatic, not a desktop app.
Where upscaling helps
Claim clips are shot at low phone resolution and cropped tight. Upscaling to 1080p or 4K makes decisive small detail — a serial number, a crack in a windshield — larger and easier for an adjuster to read. BetterVideo upscales the real capture with Real-ESRGAN; for evidence use, the upscaled version supplements rather than replaces the original.
How BetterVideo does it
BetterVideo applies upscaling through one REST call — Real-ESRGAN x2 upscales to 1080p or 4K — and for insurance & claims, brightens and sharpens dark, shaky claim clips so an adjuster can read the damage — per second, per claim — then deletes them on your schedule.
Common questions
Can upscaling make small detail in a claim readable?
Often, yes — upscaling enlarges the real capture so an adjuster can read detail that was too small before.
Does upscaling change the evidence?
It enlarges the real footage; treat the upscaled version as a supplement to, not a replacement for, the original.
