AI video upscaling for Mac. No uploads. No subscription. Just better video.
Upscale Whale is a macOS app that uses AI to upscale video from 1080p to 4K, running entirely on your device. No files are uploaded, no cloud processing, no account required. It was built for people who want professional-quality results without the professional price tag or the privacy tradeoff.
It runs natively on Apple Silicon — M1 through M4 — using the GPU and Neural Engine to process video locally. Features include 2x AI upscaling, batch processing, audio preservation, quality and speed modes, and a before-and-after comparison tool. It works completely offline.
Most comparable tools charge upwards of $300 or require ongoing subscriptions. Upscale Whale is $10, one time. Five free renders are included with the download — no signup required.
Upscale Whale is a Light Horse product, built and launched in April 2026.
