Upscayl lets you enlarge and enhance low-resolution images using advanced AI algorithms. Enlarge images without losing quality, it’s almost like magic! 🎩🪄 Upscayl is a cross-platform application built with the Linux-first philosophy. This means that Linux users receive pre-release builds earlier but Upscayl itself is available on all major desktop operating systems :)

now look what this baby can do …

Huh? A sparkly fart in the sky? 🧐

Holy fuck, a Supernova! Cosmic spectacle of incomprehensible dimensions! 🤯

I wanted to implement the pics into the post via

But it was not working for the upscayl version, sorry.

      waifu2x technology is the main part that’s old I think. There’s a lot of NCNN/etc. models to use now to try to tune for different details. My main problem with waifu2x is that it gives you roughly the exact same fidelity as the original picture, i.e. it’s only slightly sharper than using a generic zoom function on it. Newer upscalers try to make the image more realistic, as if it was the original in the first place. In a direct comparison with the original I think there’s a notable loss of detail in this method (not sure if it’s inherent or just based on how the model is tuned), but without the original to compare to I think the images that the newer ones generate look more pleasing/sharp.
