Apps to improve video quality
An old clip, a night video or a blurry shot can look better without a computer. Wink is built for exactly that and upscales video to 4K. PowerDirector has an AI Video Enhancer inside a full editor and speaks Ukrainian. VivaCut on iPhone lets you tune the picture by hand and export in 4K.
How we chose: apps that improve the quality of a video on the phone, sold by a seller listed as a trader on the App Store, with features taken from each app’s store description. No prices, download counts or ratings.
Wink: upscale to 4K in one tap
Wink by Meitu upscales 480p and 720p videos to 4K, sharpens out of focus clips and fixes blurry, shaky or low quality phone footage. An auto mode detects quality problems and applies a fix, a basic mode lets you tune colour, night view and denoise yourself, and you can set how strong the fix is so the result stays natural. It can also fix several videos and photos in one batch.
PowerDirector: an editor with an enhancer
PowerDirector by CyberLink lists an AI Video Enhancer, AI Speech Enhancement for clearer sound and AI Super Slow Motion among its AI tools, next to trimming, cutting, speed changes, filters and colour adjustment. It has a Ukrainian interface and works on iOS and Android.
VivaCut: tune the picture by hand
VivaCut lets you control brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, colour temperature and vignetting to improve how a clip looks, and exports videos in 1080p or 4K. We found it on the App Store only.
Tips for a better result
Start from the original file, not one already sent through a messenger, because messengers compress video. Keep the fix strength moderate so faces do not look artificial. For photos rather than video, see apps to restore old photos, and for full editing, video editing apps.
