Rescuing a faded, blurry or chat-compressed photo before you animate it#

Image-to-video keeps whatever your still already has: layout, colour and faces carry into the motion. That also means a soft or blocky photo stays soft and blocky once it moves. Cleaning the still first is usually cheaper than rerunning a video.

Three common problems the enhancer is meant for:

• Faded prints: old photos scanned or shot with a phone.
• Missed focus: the subject is slightly soft.
• Chat-app compression: pictures that were forwarded a few times and picked up blocky edges.

How it fits into a run:

• Run the photo enhancer on the still. The default engine works on the free tier at 6 credits a pass.
• Check the result at full size, then send the cleaned image into image-to-video.
• Every run shows its credit price before you generate, and failed runs refund their credits automatically.

The enhancer, the video studio and the image studio share one credit balance on Vorapix.
