New AI Features
Now, let’s explore the latest AI features added to VideoProc Converter.
1. Super Resolution
Super Resolution in VideoProc Converter AI improves and upscales videos to 4K and images to 8K/10K. It enhances the quality of AI-generated images, old films, reality videos, and animations, providing high-quality output with maintained detail.
This feature supports upscaling by up to 400%, suitable for AI art, personal footage, or historical archives, enabling viewing or printing at higher resolutions with improved clarity.
Digiarty Software has unveiled VideoProc Converter AI 7.0, its largest update to date. This update introduces new AI models designed to enhance videos and images, offering super-resolution for greater detail:
- Gen Detail: Generates more details, clarity, and sharpness in videos and images, significantly improving perceptual quality.
- Real Smooth: Provides video and image restoration, smoothing, flaw elimination, and enhanced fidelity.
Here are some examples of what the app can do for low-resolution images and videos:
3. Frame Interpolation
Frame Interpolation in VideoProc Converter AI uses deep learning to improve video fluidity by increasing frame rates up to 480FPS. It generates additional frames to convert low-FPS videos to higher FPS, ensuring smoother motion and more refined slow-motion effects.
This feature is useful for enhancing old footage, unifying frame rates for editing, or creating special effects, delivering precise and smooth video transformations.

Putting Its AI Feature to a Test
To assess the AI features, we decided to conduct a quick test, specifically using the Super Resolution feature to see how it handles upscaling a low-resolution image.
Below is the original image at 1920×1434 pixels, which you may notice is slightly blurry even at full scale.
After downloading and installing the app, we selected the “Super Resolution” icon from the app’s main interface.
We then dragged our image in, chose to scale it up by 2x using the default settings, and clicked the Run button.
The process of upscaling and processing the image then began and took a while to complete.
Here is the upscaled image once it was finished:
You can download both the before and after images to compare their quality, or see the image below for a direct comparison.
Following the upscale with Super Resolution, the image appears clearer, with elements like rocks, clouds, and mountains looking sharper, even when zoomed in.
Additionally, the noise present in the original image has been significantly reduced.
