Video Upscaler, Face Enhancer, Face Swap, Background Remover, and Object Eraser are all available for free in the WaveSpeed Desktop app. They run locally on your GPU — no API key, no uploads, no subscription required.
Can I use AI video editing via API?
Yes. Cloud-based tools including Video Upscaling, Video-to-Video Restyling, Lip Sync Generation, and Style Transfer are all accessible through WaveSpeed's unified REST API with Python and JavaScript SDKs. Batch processing is supported.
What video formats and resolutions are supported?
WaveSpeed supports common video formats (MP4, MOV, WebM). Output resolution depends on the tool — upscaling supports up to 4x enhancement, while generation and restyling tools typically output up to 1080P. Check each tool's model page for specific limits.
