Upscayl lets you enlarge and enhance low-resolution images using advanced AI algorithms. Enlarge images without losing quality, it's almost like magic! ๐ŸŽฉ๐Ÿช„ 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? ๐Ÿง

Holy fuck, a Supernova! Cosmic spectacle of incomprehensible dimensions! ๐Ÿคฏ

And not that everything is a competition, but in my testing the results of upscayl always look a bit better than the ones from this web based non foss upscaler. .

I use Upscayl professionally and can confirm it beats out every proprietary alternative

Does it have a backend library for tools to link to? It'd be great to have this in the Image Magick convert tool pipeline.

How does this compare to waifu2x for anime-style images? Does it manage to beat it, or is this more for photos?

edit: it looks like it's much better

Ah good, I've been looking for something better than Waifu2x. Thanks!

I just had to copy the link that the Download original image button pointed to and remove the ?dl=1 from the end, and that gave me this URL which points to the image and can be embedded in the post.
