How much does Real-ESRGAN Video cost?

Billing is per second of processing time on high-end GPU hardware at about $0.0014 per second on Hormouz, so a typical run is roughly $0.42. Longer or higher-resolution clips cost more. Current rates are shown in the Hormouz dashboard.

How do I call Real-ESRGAN Video?

It runs on Hormouz's asynchronous predictions API: submit a prediction with your video, then poll until the upscaled clip is ready. Point your base URL at Hormouz and use a Hormouz API key.

What is Real-ESRGAN Video good for?

It suits restoring and upscaling low-resolution video. Old footage, downscaled clips, animation and any material that needs a sharper, higher-resolution result.

How do I access Real-ESRGAN Video from inside Iran?

Create an account on Hormouz and generate an API key. Hormouz provides a stable path to Real-ESRGAN Video from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.

real-esrgan-video: image generation model

Real-ESRGAN Video upscales and enhances video resolution frame by frame. Served asynchronously from inside Iran through Hormouz.

Pricing:: ~$0.001400 / sec (Nvidia A100 80GB)
Type:: video

Real-ESRGAN Video is a video super-resolution model that applies Real-ESRGAN upscaling across a clip's frames, raising resolution and cleaning up detail so low-resolution footage looks sharper.

It is served through Hormouz behind an asynchronous predictions API. Submit a prediction with your video, then poll until the enhanced clip is ready. The required input is video_path; optional controls include a target resolution (FHD, 2k or 4k, default FHD) and the model weights (RealESRGAN_x4plus, an anime-tuned variant, or realesr-animevideov3).

Pricing is per second of processing time on high-end GPU hardware at about $0.0014 per second, so a typical run costs roughly $0.42. Because upscaling is compute-heavy, longer or higher-resolution clips cost more. Hormouz provides stable access to Real-ESRGAN Video from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.
