# FLUX Video Upscaler

> Video super-resolution to 4K, precise or creative

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="Try FLUX Video Upscaler in the Workbench" icon="flask" href="https://www.oxen.ai/ai/workbench?model=flux-video-upscaler">
    Run this model interactively, tune parameters, and compare outputs.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

**Model ID:** `flux-video-upscaler`

FLUX Video Upscaler raises the resolution of an existing clip using FLUX 3 super-resolution, up to 1080p, 2K, or 4K. It takes MP4 input up to 20 seconds and 50 MB.

Two modes trade fidelity against detail. Precise stays faithful to the source, which suits footage that must match a reference. Creative synthesizes detail the original never had and takes an optional prompt to steer what it invents, which suits stylized or generated material. Creative costs more per second at every resolution.

## Example request

<Tip>
  Use the [Workbench](https://www.oxen.ai/ai/workbench?model=flux-video-upscaler) as a request builder: configure parameters for this model in the UI, then open the **API** tab to copy the exact cURL or Python call.

    This blocks until the video is ready (typically 5-15 minutes). Prefer **Async** or **Async with SSE** for anything beyond quick experimentation.

    See the [video generation reference](/inference-api/reference/video_generation) for more details.

## Fetch model details

The [models endpoint](/inference-api/reference/models/overview) returns the full model object, including its `json_request_schema`.

```bash theme={null}
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $OXEN_API_KEY" https://hub.oxen.ai/api/ai/models/flux-video-upscaler
```
