Restore Old Videos with AI
Home Movies, VHS, DVD
Bring your family memories back to life. AI sharpens blurry frames, restores faces, and removes decades of noise and grain — all online.
Works with digitized VHS, DVD rips, old phone footage, and more.
What AI Restoration Does
Old footage suffers from blur, noise, compression artifacts, and washed-out color. BetterVideo's AI pipeline attacks each problem with specialized models.
Remove VHS Grain
Adaptive denoising removes tape grain and static without destroying detail. Only activates on footage that actually needs it.
Restore Faces
GFPGAN v1.4 brings blurry faces back into focus — recognize your family members again in decades-old footage.
Sharpen Every Frame
Real-ESRGAN reconstructs detail that was lost to low resolution. 480p footage becomes watchable on modern screens.
Improve Color
Adaptive contrast enhancement brings back vibrancy without over-processing dark or already well-lit scenes.
What You Can Restore
- Digitized VHS and Hi8 tapes — family gatherings, holidays, school events
- DVD rips — wedding videos, travel footage, home movies
- Old phone footage — early smartphone videos from 2005–2015
- Downloaded videos — compressed clips from old email attachments or CD-ROMs
- Surveillance and security camera recordings (digitized)
