Image Super-Resolution [upscaling] for Anime-style [low detail] art or images using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.


Cross-platform tool offering advanced video upscaling and frame interpolation using RIFE, RealESRGAN, Waifu2x, and IFRNET, with scene change detection, instant preview, Discord integration, and ability to enhance local files or YouTube videos on major operating systems.

Video2X is a video/GIF/image upscaling software based on Waifu2X, Anime4K, SRMD and RealSR written in Python 3. It upscales videos, GIFs and images, restoring details from low-resolution inputs. Video2X also accepts GIF input to video output and video input to GIF output.




Real-ESRGAN aims at developing Practical Algorithms for General Image/Video Restoration.


Waifu2x Caffe rewrites only the conversion function of the image conversion software "waifu2x" using Caffe and is software developed for Windows. Although it can convert with CPU, using CUDA (or cuDNN) can convert faster than CPU.


Video, Image and GIF upscale/enlarge(Super-Resolution) and Video frame interpolation. Achieved with Waifu2x, Real-ESRGAN, Real-CUGAN, SRMD, RealSR, Anime4K, RIFE, CAIN, DAIN, and ACNet.








RealScaler is a Windows app based on Real-ESRGAN AI to enhance, enlarge and reduce noise in photographs and videos.




Recent state-of-the-art super-resolution methods have achieved impressive performance on ideal datasets regardless of blur and noise. However, these methods always fail in real-world image super-resolution, since most of them adopt simple bicubic downsampling from high-quality...



An image, gif and video upscaling and denoiser app developed with electron, react, waifu2x and ffmpeg.




A flowchart/node-based image processing GUI aimed at making chaining image processing tasks (especially upscaling done by neural networks) easy, intuitive, and customizable.
