*NEW* How to Upscale ANY video to 4K for FREE! (Best FFMPEG Tutorial)

Gaming

Introduction

In this article, we'll walk you through the process of upscaling your videos to 4K using FFMPEG. This tutorial is designed to be easy to follow, so you can enhance your video quality without any hassle. Just follow these steps!

Step 1: Download FFMPEG

To get started, you need to download FFMPEG. Click the link provided in the description of the video to navigate to the official website. Follow these steps:

  1. Click the "Download" button.
  2. Close any pop-ups that appear—these may contain viruses.
  3. The download will likely save to your desktop. If not, move it to your desktop for easier access.

Step 2: Install FFMPEG

Once the download is complete, locate the file on your desktop and double-click it to run the setup. This installation will ensure that all FFMPEG codecs for various video and audio formats are installed, eliminating the need for multiple downloads.

Step 3: Prepare Your Video

After installation, open File Explorer. You can upscale your video from anywhere (Documents, Desktop, etc.), but it’s helpful to create a dedicated folder for this purpose. For instance:

  1. Create a folder named "Upscaling" in your Video directory or wherever preferred.
  2. Drag the video clip you want to upscale into this folder.

Step 4: Create a Batch File

To streamline the upscaling process, you will need to create a batch file. Here’s how:

  1. Right-click in the empty space within your "Upscaling" folder.
  2. Select "Show more options," then go to "New" and click on "Text Document."
  3. Name this document something like upscale_4k.txt.
  4. Open the text document and paste the provided code (found in the description) into it. Make sure that formatting is correct—such as spaces between cd and c: but not between c: and /users.
  5. Save the file as upscale_4k.bat instead of a regular document by selecting “All Files” and entering the .bat extension.

Step 5: Execute the Batch File

With your batch file in place, just double-click it to run the upscaling code. This batch file will execute the FFmpeg commands that upscale your video to 4K quality.

Once the process completes, you will find your output file in the same folder, now enhanced to 4K resolution. To verify, right-click on the new file, choose "Properties," and navigate to "Details" to confirm the resolution.

Conclusion

And that’s it! You’ve successfully upscaled your video to 4K resolution using FFMPEG. Remember to start with a video that’s rendered in at least 1080p to avoid potential glitches during the upscaling.
