Enhance Image Quality with Upscaler FOR LINUX

Remember those 80s and 90s movies where (usually) the good guys enhance the surveillance footage in order to see some crucial little detail that "solves" all of their problems?

The conversation usually goes like this: "Can you enhance the resolution?," and the computer geek responses: "I can increase the contrast a little, and zoom in, but I can't add resolution that doesn't exist... ."

Funny thing is, with today's technology and computing power, we actually can add resolution where it doesn't exist.

Key Features:

• Uses the power of artificial intelligence to upscale image quality.


• Provides a GTK4/libadwaita front-end for the Real-ESRGAN ncnn Vulkan AI algorithm.


• Predicts missing image pixels to restore old photos and low-res images.

Upscaler is a free and open-source app that uses the power of artificial intelligence to enhance image quality to an impressive degree. It is essentially a front-end for the Real-ESRGAN ncnn Vulkan AI algorithm, which aims to develop a practical algorithm for general image restoration.

The algorithm predicts missing image pixels, making it excellent for restoring old photos and low-resolution images. While the processing time varies based on your computer's CPU and GPU performance, the results are generally remarkable.

GUI and Image Processing:

The Upscaler UI is modern and user-friendly, allowing you to select the destination location and choose between a normal photo or a cartoon/anime image. The processing time typically ranges from 20 seconds to 1 minute for enhancing images like 1024x768 to 5120x4096 on modern computers.

While the algorithm and GUI are noteworthy, Upscaler may not work miracles for professional image processing. However, it excels in restoring scanned photos of your loved ones, providing impressive results that enhance image quality.
