How to Upscale Sora AI Videos Beyond 720p Resolution
Sora Videos Look Great — But They’re Capped at 1080p
Sora by OpenAI can turn short text prompts into full video clips, and for many users, the results look great straight from the platform — especially on phones and laptops.
However, as of now, Sora exports videos at a maximum of 720p for free users and 1080p for paid Pro subscribers.
That’s perfect for previewing or sharing on mobile, but if you want to play those videos on a 4K TV or monitor, they won’t take full advantage of the screen’s resolution.
That’s where UpRes helps.
UpRes lets you upscale your Sora videos up to 4K, making them display cleanly on higher-resolution screens while preserving smooth motion and natural color.
Why Upscale Your Sora Videos
Even at 1080p, Sora’s videos can look undersized when played back on large displays or used in 4K edits.
If you’re integrating Sora footage into larger creative projects — or just want it to display it on a modern TV — UpRes provides an easy way to enhance the resolution.
With UpRes, you can:
- Convert Sora’s 720p or 1080p exports to 4K.
- Display AI-generated videos on large monitors and TVs.
- Prepare your clips for editing or uploading to 4K platforms like YouTube.
- Maintain a consistent visual experience across devices
Understanding Screen Size and Viewing Distance
It’s also important to remember that screen resolution isn’t the only factor in how a video looks.
Even a perfectly upscaled 4K video won’t appear “better” if you’re standing too close to a large screen.
When viewing on a 4K display, you should be far enough away for your eyes to take in the entire screen — typically around 1.5 to 2 times the screen’s diagonal size.
At that distance, an upscaled 720p or 1080p Sora video will appear smooth and natural.
Upscaling with UpRes ensures your 720p Sora clips can fill a 4K screen without visible pixelation or stretching, provided you’re viewing from an appropriate distance.
How to Upscale a Sora Video to 4K
- Open UpRes on iOS, macOS, or Android.
- Tap “Upscale Video”.
- Import your Sora-generated video.
- Choose 1080p or 4K Quality.
- Preview the result side-by-side or zoom in to compare frames.
Why This Matters for Sora Creators
Sora’s 720p and 1080p export options make sense for quick generation and sharing.
But many creators are now using those clips in longer projects, high-resolution edits, and large-screen displays.
By upscaling with UpRes, you can extend the usefulness of your Sora videos — turning them into flexible assets that display cleanly on any screen size, from smartphones to 4K TVs.
