The Batch Upscale feature lets you process multiple images in one go — up to 20 images at a time — while maintaining high quality and flexibility. You can either apply the same AI model and settings to all images with one click or customize different settings for each image individually. This feature saves time and ensures consistent, professional results across your entire image set.
💡 What is [Apply to all]?
The Apply to all button automatically copies your current settings — including AI model, upscale rate, and face preferences— to all imported images. Use it to ensure all photos follow the same parameters for a unified result. Alternatively, you can assign different models or adjustments to individual images before batch processing.
🧭 How to Use
Import Images Add up to 20 images. Drag and drop them into the workspace or click Add.
Set Upscale Rate or Resolution Choose a preset scale (e.g., 2×, 4×) or define a custom output resolution.
Select AI Model Pick an AI model best suited to the image type — for example:
Photo – Soft and natural for portraits or everyday photos
Iris – Enhances fine textures such as hair, fur, and eyes
Standard – Ideal for landscapes and architecture
Anime – Designed for illustrations, paintings, and anime-style art
Enable Face Recovery (Optional) Turn on Face Recovery if your images include blurry faces that you want to enhance. It helps restore facial details and smooth imperfections.
Preview and Adjust Settings Process one image first to check results. Fine-tune model strength, upscale ratio, or face recovery if needed.
Apply to All (Optional) Once satisfied, click [Apply to all] to copy your current settings to all remaining unprocessed images.Or you can right-click the current image from the file list then click the [Apple settings to all images] button.You can still modify individual images afterward if they require different models or adjustments.
Select Images for Batch Processing Click Select all button to include the entire batch (the processed image will not be processed again even checked on) or choose the specific images you want to process.
Start Processing Click [Start processing] to begin batch upscaling. Each image will be processed in sequence based on its assigned model and settings.
Monitor Progress and Review Results Follow progress in real time. When finished, review each result and export your enhanced images.
✅ Best Practices
Preview Before Batch Processing: Always test settings on one image before applying them to all.
Mix Models for Different Image Types: Choose different AI models for portraits, artwork, or architecture to get optimal results.
Balance Quality and Speed: Higher upscale ratios and larger original images increase processing time.
Try Cloud Process for Heavy Tasks: If your PC is slow or running low on GPU/CPU memory, switch to Cloud Process for faster performance.(Requires Pro plan and consumes Nero Credits.)
🛠️ Troubleshooting
Face Recovery Not Available This feature requires a Pro or higher subscription. Upgrade to unlock advanced facial enhancement.
Task Failed or Processing Stopped
Check your internet connection and ensure the batch does not exceed 20 images.
If your PC is under heavy load or lacks GPU resources, try using the Cloud Process mode for stable and faster results.(Available for Pro users; each image consumes Nero Credits.)
Inconsistent Results Across Images Confirm that the correct AI model and settings are applied via [Apply to all], or adjust individually if image types vary.
Slow Performance Close other demanding applications or background processes. For best speed, use Cloud Process or reduce batch size.
In today’s video enhancement landscape, fine-tuning your video’s look is just as important as upscaling its resolution. With the latest update to Nero AI Video Upscaler, you can now adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and white balance directly within the app—all from a dedicated Adjustments tab. This guide will walk you through how to get the most out of these new features.
1. Getting Started
Launch the App: Open Nero AI Video Upscaler on your PC. If you haven’t already, download and install the latest version from the official Nero website.
Import Your Video: Drag and drop your video file into the app. Once imported, you’ll see a preview window with the original footage.
2. Navigating to the Adjustments Tab
Find the New Tab: After importing your video, look for the new “Adjustments” tab in the main interface. This tab is designed to provide easy access to all the adjustment sliders.
User Interface Overview: The interface now displays a series of sliders labeled as follows:
Brightness
Contrast
Saturation
Sharpness
White Balance
A real-time preview window sits alongside these controls, allowing you to see the effects of your adjustments immediately.
3. Adjusting Video Parameters
Brightness
Purpose: Increase or decrease the overall lightness of your video.
Tip: If your video appears too dark or overexposed, gently adjust the slider until you achieve a balanced look.
Contrast
Purpose: Enhance the difference between light and dark areas.
Tip: Increasing contrast can add depth, but too much can cause loss of detail in the shadows or highlights.
Saturation
Purpose: Boost or tone down the intensity of the colors.
Tip: Adjust saturation to make colors pop or to create a more subdued, natural look.
Sharpness
Purpose: Improve clarity by enhancing edge definition.
Tip: Increase sharpness if your video appears slightly blurry, but avoid over-sharpening to prevent an artificial look.
White Balance
Purpose: Correct color temperature and remove unwanted color casts.
Tip: Use this slider to ensure whites appear neutral, which in turn balances the overall color accuracy of your footage.
4. Previewing and Finalizing Your Adjustments
Real-Time Preview: As you adjust each slider, monitor the preview window. This helps you decide whether to make further tweaks or stick with the current settings.
Export Your Video: Proceed to upscale your video (if needed) and then export the final version in your preferred format and resolution.
Tips for Best Results
Start Small: Make incremental adjustments rather than large leaps. Small changes can significantly impact the overall quality.
Monitor on Different Screens: If possible, view your preview on multiple displays to ensure consistent quality.
