Upscaling for Restoration
What upscaling does for restoration 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
- Damage footage is shot in low light with no clean power or lighting.
- You need before/during/after clarity to justify scope to insurers.
- Proving the work was actually done depends on legible footage.
Where upscaling helps
Phone-shot damage footage is low-res. Upscaling brings out the texture of water damage, char and mold so an insurer can gauge the extent from the file. BetterVideo upscales to 1080p or 4K.
How BetterVideo does it
BetterVideo applies upscaling through one REST call — Real-ESRGAN x2 upscales to 1080p or 4K — and for restoration, brightens and sharpens low-light footage of water lines, char and mold so an insurer sees exactly what you saw, then deletes it on your schedule.
Common questions
Can upscaling help document damage extent?
Yes — a higher-resolution version makes damage texture easier to assess.
Does it invent damage?
No — upscaling enlarges the real capture; it doesn't fabricate damage.
