π Upscayl - Free and Open Source AI Image Upscaler for Linux, MacOS and Windows built with Linux-First philosophy.
v2.5 is in development. Check Progress
Upscayl π 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.
