AI Video Upscaling
Cost Calculator

Estimate the cost to upscale existing footage instead of generating a new video. Use Runway's published output-frame rate for an API estimate, or convert a Topaz in-app Cloud Render quote into a monthly budget.

Runway bills magnific_video_upscaler_creative by output frame. This calculator applies the documented formula and rounds each API job up to a whole credit, with a one-credit minimum. If fpsBoost changes the output frame count, replace the FPS assumption with the actual output frames divided by job duration.

Topaz does not publish one fixed credit formula for every model, resolution, FPS, and duration. Enter the preview shown in the app. The result is the value of expected credit usage at the selected public rate, not a guaranteed checkout total or a substitute for the final Topaz quote.

Why the two estimates use different inputs

Runway publishes a per-output-frame API rate, so frame count can produce a direct estimate. Topaz says Cloud Credit use varies by output size and model and that web prices may differ from the in-app preview. Asking for the Topaz quote avoids inventing a universal rate that does not exist.

BILLING GUARDRAILS

Check the job before you fund it.

  • Runway Magnific Video Upscaler accepts input videos up to 30 seconds per API job and supports 720p, 1K, 2K, and 4K targets.
  • Runway credits cost $0.01 each; sales tax may apply. Longer source videos must be split into separate jobs and rounded separately.
  • Runway's fpsBoost can change output frames and therefore cost. Use the actual output frame count when available.
  • Topaz Cloud Render requires access to a supported app, and credit use varies by model, resolution, FPS, duration, and output settings.
  • Do not compare “quality” from this page. It estimates billing only and makes no claim that one provider produces better output.

Planning estimate only. Prices are pre-tax USD and may differ by account, contract, location, tax, product access, output settings, or later pricing changes. Confirm each provider's current in-product quote before purchasing credits.
