# [v2.8.0 is out for Linux users!
Releasing tomorrow for the rest of the platforms :)](https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl/releases/tag/v2.7.5)
# 🆙 Upscayl
#### Free and Open Source AI Image Upscaler
Upscayl lets you enlarge and enhance low-resolution images using advanced AI algorithms.
Enlarge images without losing quality, it's almost like magic! 🎩🪄
Upscayl is a cross-platform application built with the Linux-first philosophy.
This means that Linux users receive pre-release builds earlier but Upscayl itself is available on all major desktop operating systems :)
