Waifu2x-Extension-GUI VS cupscale

The software in question is on Github called Waifu2x-Extension-GUI https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

Waifu2x GUI

I used a program called Waifu2x-Extension-GUI. It’s fantastic for upscaling animation shows (and yes it supports video upscales too)! There are web-app versions out there with the same name, but the results I get from those are nowhere near as good. If anyone’s unable to download or figure it out, I’d be happy to upscale any images you want!

I heard topaz may be the best but you can try bsrt, video2x and waifu2x ext gui.

I do my upscaling with Waifu2x, specifically with this really well made GUI https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

4090 is very fast in this regard. It takes about 6 hours or so for a film that is 1.5 hours. The software is called Waifu2x Extension GUI by Aaron Feng. It's free to use, but you'll get a pop-up asking to donate. It gets constant updates, which is always a major plus. Here's the GitHub: https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI I used the RealCugan AI Model since I found it yields the best results in terms of speed and quality. You can use RealESRGAN for Live works, but it will take significantly longer. Sidenote: You can use it on blurry pictures as well (Since videos are simply a series of frames/still images)

If you want to do more, there's chaiNNer and CupScale. You need to download an AI model to use those. There are a lot of anime/cartoon models out, so pick one that you like from here. (Note: Upscaly doesn't support these custom models.)

I'm not 100% sure how it holds up against topaz, but I've used cupscale (a gui for ESRGAN) to upscale most of my stuff. Its free (https://github.com/n00mkrad/cupscale) and you can find a million different ESRGAN models which are focused on different kinds of images (https://upscale.wiki/wiki/Model_Database).

Now upscaling isn't hard to do by itself, but the setup can be difficult. As I said earlier, ERSGAN is the preferable way to do it. (https://github.com/n00mkrad/cupscale) Cupscale is my preferred tool for doing it this way. (https://www.topazlabs.com/gigapixel-ai) Gigapixel is another option that's easier for newcomers, but may not produce as good of results. They even have a free trial if you want to demo the tool.

I use cupscale for upscaling things. Allows chaining models and handles video.

For local there's cupscale and chainner
