Frequently asked questions about EnhanceVid, the video enhancer for iPhone and iPad.
What it does
What does EnhanceVid do?
Three things — ① Raise the frame rate (24→30fps, 30→60fps): new frames are computed between the originals so motion looks smooth ② Raise the resolution (HD→Full HD, Full HD→4K): the picture is enlarged with crisper detail ③ Reduce noise: grain from low light is cleaned up. You can combine them.
Can I go down too?
Yes. You can convert 4K 60fps to 30fps or 4K to Full HD — handy for a smaller file to share or for a more cinematic look.
The result is bigger than the original. Is that normal?
Yes. More frames or more pixels mean more information, so the file grows. 30→60fps is roughly 1.3×, and raising the resolution adds more. Going down makes it smaller. The estimated size is shown before you start.
Are the new frames the same as real footage?
No. They are computed from the motion between neighboring frames. They look natural in most scenes, but very fast motion or overlapping objects can look soft or misaligned for a moment. At scene cuts nothing is blended — the previous frame is repeated instead.
I can't find noise reduction.
Noise reduction only appears when your device supports it. Support depends on the device (chip), even on the same iOS version.
Originals and saving
What happens to my original?
Nothing. EnhanceVid never changes or deletes it — the result is saved as a new video. Videos picked from Photos are saved to Photos; videos picked from Files go to their folder or to the app's folder (Files → EnhanceVid).
How are results named?
The change is added to the original name — for example IMG_1234_60fps.mov, IMG_1234_4K.mov or IMG_1234_60fps_4K.mov. With noise reduction only: IMG_1234_enhanced.mov.
Does it work with HDR?
Yes. 10-bit HDR (HLG) and Dolby Vision video shot on iPhone is saved as HDR.
Which files can I pick?
Videos from Photos and from the Files app (On My iPhone, iCloud Drive and more). Besides MOV and MP4, MKV, WebM and AVI are processed on device too.
Time and use
How long does it take?
It depends on length, resolution and device, and the estimate is shown before you start. Upscaling to 4K or raising the frame rate of 4K video takes the longest — several times the video's length even on a recent iPhone.
Does it stop if I leave the app?
Yes. Enhancement keeps the graphics processor busy, so keep the app on screen. If you leave, it pauses where it is (the reason appears on the Lock Screen), and it resumes automatically when you come back.
What about battery and heat?
Long videos warm up the device and use battery, so we recommend charging while you enhance. iOS adjusts the pace to the device's condition.
How do I check the result?
A comparison opens when it's done — play the original and the result side by side, compare specs (resolution, frame rate, bitrate) in a table, and see quality scores. Scores compare only frames that exist in the original, because new frames have nothing to be compared against.
Permissions and privacy
Do I have to allow photo access?
No. It's needed only to pick videos from Photos and save results there. Without it you can still use everything with videos from the Files app.
Are my videos sent anywhere?
No. All enhancement happens on your device, and videos are never uploaded to us or third parties. The app shows ads and uses analytics to stay free — see the Privacy Policy for details.
Is the app free?
Yes — every feature is free with no limits. The app is supported by ads.
