super-resolution / anime-style image upscaling
waifu2x is a Lua/Torch deep convolutional neural network tool that upscales images (especially anime-style art, also photos) using the waifu2x super-resolution method.
Solves the same problem with a different architecture or at a different layer. Expect to rewrite the integration.

An earlier or more limited way to do the job. Still the right call when you need something small, proven, or CPU-only.

Does the same job, but ships as an app. Useful to a person, not swappable into a codebase.
end-user GUI/app for AI upscaling, not a library you can embed.

An Android application for super-resolution & interpolation. Contains RealSR-NCNN, SRMD-NCNN, RealCUGAN-NCNN, Real-ESRGAN-NCNN, Waifu2x-NCNN, Anime4kcpp, nearest, bilinear, bicubic, AVIR...
cross-platform GUI wrapper around Real-ESRGAN/Real-CUGAN, not an embeddable library.
实用、美观的 Real-ESRGAN 图形界面,同时支持 Windows、Ubuntu 和 macOS 平台。现在也支持 Real-CUGAN 了!(Cross-platform GUI for image upscaler Real-ESRGAN with additional features. Now with Real-CUGAN support!)
native macOS GUI app around Upscayl models; no code-level integration.
HiPixel is a native macOS application for AI-powered image super-resolution, built with SwiftUI and leveraging Upscayl's powerful AI models.
These projects were analysed and named waifu2x among their alternatives. The relationship is not symmetric — how waifu2x rates them is a separate judgement, made when waifu2x is analysed in its own right.
calls waifu2x “Classic anime-style CNN upscaler; choose for a lightweight, legacy alternative specifically for anime art.”
Real-ESRGAN aims at developing Practical Algorithms for General Image/Video Restoration.
