Cupscale is a Windows GUI application for AI-based image upscaling built around ESRGAN and Real-ESRGAN models. It supports CUDA, Vulkan/NCNN, and CPU backends with features like model chaining, batch upscaling, and automatic image tiling.
Use cases
- upscale low-resolution images with AI
- run ESRGAN models without command line
- batch upscale a folder of images
- upscale images on an AMD or Intel GPU
- create before/after comparison animations of upscaled images
- avoid out-of-memory errors when upscaling large images
When to choose
- you want a simple GUI for ESRGAN/Real-ESRGAN upscaling on Windows
- you need batch upscaling or model chaining
- you have a non-NVIDIA GPU and need Vulkan/NCNN support
When to avoid
- you need a command-line or headless upscaling pipeline
- you need Linux/macOS native support
- you need actively developed features - the project has not released since 2022
