Old videos often hold our most cherished memories — birthdays, weddings, family vacations, or a simple moment of joy.

How to Revive Old Memories with CapCut AI Video Upscaler
Ready to get started? Here’s how you can upscale your old videos using CapCut Desktop in just three simple steps.
Step 1: Import Your Old Video into CapCut
Download and open CapCut Desktop Video Editor on your computer. Click “New project” to begin. Drag your old video file into the media bin or use the “Import” button to upload it. Drag your video down onto the timeline. CapCut supports standard formats such as MP4, MOV, and AVI — ideal for footage from older phones or cameras.
Step 2: Apply the AI Video Upscaler
With your clip selected on the timeline, go to the right-side editing panel. Click on “Video > Basic” in the side menu and select “Enhance image”. Then, pick the definition you want (such as UHD or HD). Choose your upscale level, either HD for slight sharpening or UHD for dramatic improvements. Let CapCut process the video. This might take a few seconds to a minute, depending on the length. The AI Upscaler works best on videos under 5 minutes for faster processing. You can also use “AI Voice Generator” to add voiceovers.
Step 3: Preview, Export, and Share
Watch the upscaled video in the preview window to check the improvement. Click “Export” in the top right corner. Choose your resolution (CapCut recommends 1080p or higher). Hit “Export” again to save your new HD version.
Now your old memories are reborn — and ready to be rewatched, uploaded, or shared with loved ones. Add soft background music, subtitles, or transitions in CapCut before exporting to make the moment even more special.
Helpful Tips to Enhance Your Upscaled Videos
- Combine with Color Enhancement: Use CapCut’s color correction tools to make your video warmer or brighter.
- Trim Dead Space: Remove long pauses or shaky beginnings to keep the video concise and focused.
- Add Captions: Label dates or events in the video to preserve context for future generations.
