how can i get better quality of 360p or 240p videos to better quality ,i know its not possible but for some extent ,quality should be improved .

can i render it into 4k ,so that looks little bit good.

or

what settings should i use ,

i currently use qsv with intel (onboard hardware acc.) to reduce/save my time (also lower bitrate to half or sometimes quarter)

No! No! No!

"i currently use qsv with intel (onboard hardware acc.) to reduce/save my time"

Software encoders can generally give superior results.

"(also lower bitrate to half or sometimes quarter)"

Up to a point of diminishing returns, you should raise the bit rate if your desire is higher quality.

Memorize every word of this article.

i make youtube videos(mostly social-media type) ,quantity is high therefore i have to reduce bitrate because at the end size is large and i have a shortage of storage.even youtube reduce/compressed bitrate.

my question is how can i increase the quality so it can be better (no huge increment,i know its not possible,just slightly,any plugin or trick or something like that would be helpful )

Use Handbrake.

Upscale works best for high quality, high bitrate. Maybe you render using a codec that uses a deblocking filter?

It's meant to improve the look of low bitrate video with compression artifacts, try with 2 or 4 as the value. I've only used the deblocking once on a lowbitrate cap. It did improve the quality, but the image looked softer, however it was preferable to original.

Hi

You can't add what isn't there in the first place. The best option is to just keep the videos at their original resolution and let the clients playback device resize them to fill the display if they go full screen (marketing calls this upscaling), this often does the best job.
