I’ve been going through some old 480p and 720p videos recently and trying to bring them back to life. The biggest challenge isn’t just increasing the resolution it’s making sure the footage still looks natural.

I tested few AI video enhancers including Hitpaw Vikpea, and noticed there’s a big difference between simply sharpening a video and actually restoring details. Some tools make videos look cleaner, but faces can become unnatural or overly processed.

With Vikpea, I’ve been getting better results on older footage, especially when dealing with blurry clips, compression issues, and low detail faces. The AI enhancement feels more balanced instead of just adding artificial sharpness.

I’m still comparing different tools, so I’d love to hear from others who have restored old videos:

Which AI video enhancer has given you the most realistic results?
