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.

That's not CSI until it can zoom in from Google Earth to my living room!

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

How is it vs. Topaz Gigapixel AI or Photo AI?

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.

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.

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

[-] wolfshadowheart@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] MariahWest@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I always use this for my wallpapers
