Compression cleanup

Clean up blocky social-media video without a cloud queue

Noise removal and detail recovery run on your GPU. Preview the worst section first.

§01What it does

What Quality Repair fixes

  1. Compression damage

    Blocky edges and mosquito noise from chat apps, downloads and repeated re-encodes. Smart Repair reads the quality check and cleans them up.

  2. Noise and grain

    Smart Repair denoises everyday footage. For dark shots, pick Night Scene in Special Scene Repair; for scanned film, Film Grain Removal.

  3. Blur and soft faces

    Smart Repair sharpens soft footage and restores faces in the same pass, with no separate portrait option.

§02

Built for modern files that got crushed

Most footage that looks bad isn't old: it's a phone clip squeezed by a chat app, a screen recording, or an export of an export. Quality Repair is built for that kind of damage.

Tapes and film scans fail differently — interlacing, film grain, black-and-white — and start on Restore Old Video.

§03

Clean up and upscale in one pass

Because cleanup and upscaling run in the same pass, compression blocks are removed rather than enlarged along with the picture.

Set 1080p or 4K as the output, or 8K with H.265 or AV1; the AI Video Enhancer page covers how far each source can go.

§04How to use

How to repair a video in KwaFlux

  1. Open Quality Repair and import

    In the sidebar, open Quality Enhancement and pick Quality Repair, then drag in your clip. Run quality detection to see what it needs.

  2. Pick a repair and preview

    Choose Smart Repair, or Special Scene Repair with a type such as Night Scene or Film Grain Removal. Render a free 1, 3 or 5-second preview of the worst part and compare it with the original.

§06FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does AI Video Quality Repair fix?
Blur, noise, compression blocks and soft faces in digital footage, plus the specific cases Special Scene Repair covers: anime, night shots, haze, rain, black-and-white and film grain. It can't add detail the camera didn't record.
Should I use Quality Repair or the old-video tools for my footage?
Phone clips, downloads and screen recordings that are soft, blocky or noisy go straight to Smart Repair. Interlaced tape transfers go through Deinterlacing first, and film scans or black-and-white footage use the Film Grain Removal and Colorize scene types. All of it comes with the same license.
Do I need an account to preview?
No. Install KwaFlux, import a clip and render 1, 3 or 5-second previews without an account. Exporting, converting, repairing a file and downloading a file from a link need sign-in and a paid plan.
Why does my video look worse or "AI-looking" after enhancing?
Enhancement can't add detail the camera didn't record, so on very soft or heavily compressed sources a model may smooth textures or make faces look waxy. Try a different repair type or a smaller output size and compare with the original on a short preview; a lighter repair often looks more natural.
