Questions

ByteDance Video Upscaler, answered

What is ByteDance Video Upscaler?
ByteDance Video Upscaler is a video upscaler from ByteDance. Upscales a video to 1080p at 30 fps and cleans it up, for under a cent a second. On Leap it runs in one studio beside every other top model, with one account.
How much does a run cost?
It costs $0.0098 a second of your video. You see the exact price before you press go, and a run that fails costs nothing.
Is ByteDance Video Upscaler free to try?
No. There is no free credit: you add credit from $5, and your first top-up has no card fee. It costs $0.0098 a second of your video. You pay per run, in dollars, with no subscription.
Can I use what I make commercially?
Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
Is there an API?
Yes. Leap's REST API runs it as bytedance/video-upscaler, at the same price per run as the studio, and agents can call it through Leap's MCP server. The request is at the bottom of this page.
Do I need a ByteDance account?
No. Leap sends your request to ByteDance's model and gives you what it makes. One Leap account runs ByteDance Video Upscaler and every other model, in the studio, through the API and from your agents.

The request

The same envelope for every model; only the model and its input change. With prefer: wait=60 the answer holds the result when the run finishes within a minute; a longer one is read again by its ID. A file input takes the ID that POST /v1/files returns for your upload. Agents can call it through the MCP server at app.tryleap.ai/api/mcp.
