  • video2x

    A lossless video/GIF/image upscaler achieved with waifu2x, Anime4K, SRMD and RealSR. Started in Hack the Valley II, 2018.

  • Topaz is best upscale tool I have found but cost money. This program is free. https://github.com/k4yt3x/video2x

  • Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

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

  • 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)
