Microsoft is launching a new AI-powered video upscaler tool that lets you quickly boost the resolution of old or weird videos.

The aptly named Video Super Resolution (VSR) tool is part of the Microsoft Edge web browser and uses artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced machine learning to increase the resolution of low-quality footage. Microsoft says the tool can “remove blocky compression artifacts” to improve text clarity and video clarity for streaming platforms like YouTube.
This tool only works for video resolutions of 720p or lower and the footage must not contain any DRM (Digital Rights Management) technology. This makes it impossible to tamper with copyrighted content and the like.
VSR is currently in beta and is only available to Microsoft Insider members using the Canary channel in Edge.
