Traditional upscalers create jagged lines on animated art. This model is engineered to sharpen linework, smooth out blocky color gradients, and maintain the distinct, crisp geometry unique to illustration and 2D/3D animation. 3. Face Model Best Used For: Portraits, vlogs, close-ups, and interviews.
Version 1.7.1.0 shines here. The Face Model uses a specialized neural network trained on thousands of human faces. If you are restoring old family videos where faces are blurry (a common issue with early digital camcorders), this AI reconstructs facial features, eyes, and mouths with startling accuracy. It doesn’t change the person’s identity—it clarifies what is already there.
: Specifically designed for restoring and sharpening old or blurry cartoon and anime footage. Face Model HitPaw Video Enhancer 1.7.1.0
Minimizes motion blur and compression artifacts on human subjects to make faces look natural. 4. Colorize Model
User feedback highlights that performance is highly dependent on GPU capability. One user noted that while processing a 22-minute video, the software made only , only to discover that their older computer had an integrated graphics card that could not handle the load. Another user mentioned a processing time of approximately one week for their files. Therefore, if your machine is outdated or lacks a dedicated GPU, you may find the software frustratingly slow. A dedicated GPU from NVIDIA (with CUDA cores) or AMD is highly recommended for the best experience. Traditional upscalers create jagged lines on animated art
Best for restoring old videos by removing digital noise and grain while preserving textures. Animation Model:
: Speeds up processing—for example, reducing a 16-minute local render to 3.5 minutes via the cloud. Face Model Best Used For: Portraits, vlogs, close-ups,
Low-quality, blurry, or pixelated videos can ruin the viewing experience, whether they are old family recordings, low-light smartphone clips, or compressed anime files. Traditional video editing software often stretches pixels, making the footage look even worse.
