Following Intel’s launch of a video upscaling tool for Chrome browser, Microsoft has now come up with its own similar technology called the Video Super Resolution for Edge browser.

Users meeting certain criteria – like using Edge Canary and having either Nvidia or AMD GPUs can enable this feature and upscale 720p videos to a better resolution. Well, this is currently available to only 50% of the Edge testers on desktop, while laptop users have to wait a bit longer.

Video Upscaling in Edge Browser

Intrigued by the announcement of Intel of a new Video Super Resolution (VSR) for the Chrome browser, Microsoft has come up with its own solution – made especially for the Edge browser. This proprietary technology can help users upscale a video to a high resolution – offering a better experience.

Microsoft noted that any video that’s under 720p resolution and not less than 192p (height and width) could be turned into a better one with the help of AI. Though you don’t have any content to play with, enabling this will enhance the text visibility in Edge .
