VHS restoration software

Restore VHS tapes without uploading family videos

Phoenix Upscaler is built for people who have already captured VHS, Hi8, or MiniDV footage and want a simple local workflow to make it cleaner on modern screens.

What VHS restoration usually needs

Old tape captures often have interlacing, chroma noise, softness, unstable edges, and low resolution. A practical VHS workflow should clean those problems before trying aggressive AI detail recovery.

Recommended workflow

1. Capture the tape at the best quality your capture hardware supports.
2. Run a short Phoenix preview using Standard Restore first.
3. Check faces, text, motion, and noisy shadows before exporting a long tape.
4. Use standard restoration on AMD, Intel, or NVIDIA Windows GPUs through DirectML. Use Generative Lite only on supported NVIDIA GPUs and only when the preview looks better.

Why local matters

Family tapes can include weddings, children, addresses, and private conversations. Phoenix keeps restoration on your PC instead of requiring a cloud upload.
