API README
FlashVSR
Upscale an existing video to 720p, 1080p, 2K, or 4K with FlashVSR's fast video super-resolution, which restores detail while keeping motion stable.
Fields
| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
video | video URL, required | — | Video to upscale. |
resolution | 720p / 1080p / 2k / 4k, required | 1080p | Target resolution; sets the per-second rate. |
Billing
You pay per second of output video: $0.014 at 720p, $0.031 at 1080p, $0.055 at 2K, and $0.124 at 4K. The quote before submission assumes 5 seconds; the final charge uses the measured length.
| Video length | 720p | 1080p | 2k | 4k |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5s | $0.07 | $0.155 | $0.275 | $0.62 |
| 10s | $0.14 | $0.31 | $0.55 | $1.24 |
| 30s | $0.42 | $0.93 | $1.65 | $3.72 |
Failed runs are not charged.
Limits
- Upscaling restores detail but cannot fix heavy blur or compression artifacts completely.
