# Upscayl 🆙
|
|
|
|
#### Free and Open Source AI Image Upscaler
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Upscayl is a cross-platform application built with the Linux-first philosophy. This means that we prioritize Linux builds over others but that doesn't mean we'll break things for other OSes :)**
|
|
|
|
### NOTE: You'll need a Vulkan compatible GPU to upscale images. Many CPU and iGPUs do not work but no harm in trying.

# Roadmap 🤫
|
|
|
|
- More AI models (Added ✅)
|
|
- Allow video upscaling 📼
|
|
- Make the whole world use FOSS (WIP 🚧)
|
|

# FAQ 🤓
|
|
|
|
- How does Upscayl work?
|
|
- Upscayl uses AI models to enhance your images by guessing what the details could be. It uses Real-ESRGAN (and more in the future) model to achieve this.
|
|
- Is there a CLI available?
|
|
- The CLI tool is called real-esrgan-ncnn-vulkan and it's available on the Real-ESRGAN repository.
|
|
- Do I need a GPU for this to work?
|
|
- Yes, unfortunately. NCNN Vulkan requires a Vulkan compatible GPU. Upscayl won't work on most iGPUs or CPUs.
|
|
- How can I contribute?
|
|
- You can fix code, add features by submitting PRs, report issues or donate :)
|
|
- What's the GPU ID for?
|
|
- To find your GPU ID, you first need to launch Upscayl using the commandline and Upscayl an image. In the console output, you can see the GPUs that have been detected: 
|
|
As you can notice, 0 is the AMD iGPU, 1 is the Nvidia GPU, and 2 is the llvmpipe. If I set my GPU ID to 0, it'll always upscayl images with AMD iGPU (CPU) instead of dedicated GPU.
|
|
- You are not fully open source!!😡
|
|
- We are, we're using completely free and open source tech. We do ship a binary but that's because not including it would kill the entire purpose of the project. If you want to deal with all those PyTorch, NCNN, and Python errors, you're more than welcome to compile your own binary using the code provided by Real-ESRGAN. The binary is pre-compiled for convenience, if you do not trust it, then you can compile your own since everything is free and open source here :)
|
|
|
|
Upscayl uses Real-ESRGAN-ncnn-vulkan binaries to upscale images. More models and algorithms will come soon.
