Digital Remaster is a technique that utilises modern technology to create an "improved" reproduction of the original video (technically known as "master"; hence the name remaster). This result in a higher quality version compared to older masters. Which usually were either transfer directly from film negative to video tape, or were rendered in a smaller resolution originally.
For traditional animation, which were done on film. This technique usually mean re-scaning the original film negative in a higher resolution, with certain elements may need to add or alter by software when necessery.
For digital animation. This technique is refer to the practice of upscaling the original video to a higher resolution by software. With any upscaling issue or artifacts to be altered by software as well. Note that the upscaling method also can be used on traditional animation when the company in charge have no access to the original film negative.
TV Remaster version
On September 22, 2003, the first remastered episode of Detective Conan was broadcasted. However, only the content of the episode were kept intact, as the opening/ending animation were swapped to the current opening/ending animation and song at the time of reairing. Commonly, there is new opening speech by Conan at the beginning of the broadcast (which is seperated from the usual opening speech). In several occasion, TV remaster version has new original scenes at the beginning or at the end of the broadcast. Soundtracks used in the episodes can also be changed, mostly in episodes which was reaired as 1-hour specials.

Crunchyroll release
On August 14, 2021, Crunchyroll uploaded the new remastered version of the first 123 episodes.
Instead of releasing the episodes in 4:3, the episodes were presented in 16:9 instead; with black background added on both sides of the screen. In addition, all aspects of the original episode were retained (e.g. after-opening, commercial break, and post-credit sponsorship card, next episode preview, Next Conan's Hint and Joke Card). In Detective Conan Episode Selections, the previews for episodes that are not currently included in the selection lineup are also present.
Difference from previous releases
The new remastered version feature quite a few differences compared to the original TV airing and DVD releases. Seemingly as a result of TMS rescaning the original film negative prior to any alteration that has been done for the TV airings. This included but not limited to:
- The opening/ending credits for traditionally animated episodes were inserted digitally from scratch. This also included the "Special" text on the main logo for hour-long episodes.
- However, this is not the case for digitally animated opening/ending credits. As they were up-scaled with the credit texts hard-coded in.
- Certain digital effects were re-compostied (for example, the entirety of Girigiri chop opening animation effects). While other effects, such as a black bar on the top and bottom of the screen during certain flashbacks in The Twenty Year Old Murderous Intent: The Symphony Serial Murder Case, were not.
- Notably, episode 257-283 were re-composited. Which included different zoom levels in certain scenes, different transitions, and other small adjustments.
- Certain scenes have been altered (digitally or otherwise) due to various reasons, such as the scenes from Jodie Starling's Conan's picture, where the letter "u" from the phrase "Cool Guy" are drawn too curved that makes it an "a", accidentally forming "Cool Gay". It has been fixed by making a proper lowercase U to form the correct phrase.
Trivia
- The remastered release is the first instance of Feel Your Heart and Meikyū no Lovers presented in an episode outside Japan.
