  • It seems like GUIs for upscaling algorithms are rare and that Waifu2x-Extension-GUI and Upscayl are outliers. It's unfortunate that the aforementioned won't support anything other than Windows, but that's simply up to the developer. Perhaps it can be run through Wine if needed?

    Discontinued An app that upscales anime-styled images, gifs, and videos with waifu2x.
