Upscaling & Resolution Enhancement for Restoration

What upscaling & resolution enhancement 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

What restoration work actually needs
  • 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 & resolution enhancement helps

Phone-shot damage footage is low-res. Real-ESRGAN super-resolution enlarges it to 1080p or 4K and pulls detail out of the source, bringing out the texture of water damage, char and mold so an insurer can gauge the extent from the file.

How BetterVideo does it

BetterVideo applies upscaling & resolution enhancement through one REST call — Real-ESRGAN super-resolution enlarges to 1080p or 4K and recovers detail a low-res source lost — 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 it help document damage extent?

Yes — a higher-resolution version with recovered detail makes damage texture easier to assess for the insurer file.

Does it invent damage?

No — it enlarges and clarifies the real capture; super-resolution reconstructs plausible detail from what was filmed, it doesn't fabricate damage.
