How do they remaster old grainy footage of films/videos and make it 4k without any pixelation?

They are technically just stretching the video right? Where do the additional information for the new pixels come from? Does it cost a lot? What’s the simplest way to restore similar home videos to 4k crisp quality, can it even be done by a regular guy on a home computer?

You can’t restore video the same way you restore film because video has a physical resolution that is already very low like 480p.

Film has a theoretical resolution of at least 4k. Film is restored by essentially scanning each frame into a computer at a high resolution.
