A closer look at ToHD

A free browser video upscaler that runs Real-ESRGAN on your own GPU, so clips aren't uploaded. Paid cloud packs cover 4K, batches and slow computers.

When the only copy is a blurry one

Sometimes the only copy of a clip you care about is small and soft, and stretching it to fill a screen just makes the blur bigger. ToHD is made for that moment. You drop in an MP4, MOV or WebM clip up to 10 minutes long, and the free mode doubles its width and height or takes it to 1080p, keeping the original sound.

The work happens on your own graphics card. AI enhance runs Real-ESRGAN, an open-source upscaling model, through WebGPU in Chrome or Edge, including on Apple Silicon Macs. There's nothing to install, and the free path has no signup, watermark or daily cap.

Slow, and upfront about it

Before the full run, ToHD upscales the first three seconds as a speed test, so the time estimate comes from your own machine. That's a nice touch, because local upscaling is slow. The site's measurement from November 8, 2026 puts a one-minute 480p clip at 11 minutes on an Apple M2 Max to reach 1080p, and an estimated one to two hours on a typical laptop.

The home page is just as direct about results. Low resolution and slightly soft focus get clearly sharper. Heavy compression improves a little, but lost detail doesn't come back, and motion blur from a moving camera or subject stays as it is. The before-and-after samples come from the site's own tests on free stock footage.

Before you reach for the cloud

If your computer is too slow, or you want 4K, batches or longer clips, there's paid cloud processing sold as one-time credit packs that don't expire. One credit covers one second of video up to 1080p. Single video is $4.99 for five minutes, Starter $9.90 for 30 minutes, Plus $24.90 for 90 minutes with 4K, and Pro $59.90 for 300 minutes, all before tax. New accounts get 30 seconds free, and the same one-minute clip is said to take about 40 seconds in the cloud.

It's worth knowing where your video goes. The privacy page, effective November 8, 2026, names the operator as flreey (HK). According to that policy, the free upscaler keeps the file in your browser, while cloud jobs upload the video to Cloudflare R2 and run it on GPU servers from Modal. The upload is deleted when processing ends, results are deleted after 3 to 30 days depending on the pack, and the policy says videos are never used to train models. Cloud sign-in goes through Clerk, payments through Stripe, and visit statistics through a self-hosted Umami server that sets no cookies.

If you have an old clip worth rescuing and an evening to spare for your graphics card, start with the three-second test and see what your machine can do.
