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
