YouTube on Wednesday (October 29, 2025) introduced a new AI-powered feature to automatically generate higher resolutions for videos. “We’re starting with videos uploaded below 1080p, upscaling them from SD to HD, with the goal to support resolutions up to 4K in the near future. Creators will retain complete control over their library, as both original files and original video resolution will be kept intact, with a clear option to opt-out of these enhancements,” said YouTube in a blog post.The company added that viewers will still be able to watch creators’ videos in the original uploaded resolution. The enhanced resolution will be labelled so that YouTube viewers can take their pick of settings. YouTube also added that it will expand the thumbnail file limit from 2MB to 50MB, allowing it to generate and deliver 4K-resolution thumbnails for creators’ videos.“We’ve begun testing larger video uploads with select creators as well to enable even higher quality original uploads,” said the video streaming giant in its post.The rollout of the new AI upscaling feature is part of YouTube’s push to help turn users’ content into what it called a “premier experience on TV”. Viewers are also set to get new shopping features, immersive settings, and improvements to contextual search on TVs. Published – October 30, 2025 02:34 pm IST
