Magpie is a lightweight, general-purpose window upscaler for Windows 10/11 that enlarges any window using GPU-based scaling algorithms. It ships with built-in effects such as Anime4K, FSR, and CRT shaders, and offers a WinUI-based interface with multi-monitor support.

Use cases

  • upscale old games that don't support high DPI
  • enlarge a windowed game to fullscreen with better filtering
  • apply Anime4K to anime video playback windows
  • use FSR upscaling on any application window
  • make low-resolution apps readable on high-resolution monitors
  • scale windows with CRT shader effects

When to choose

  • you need to upscale arbitrary windows or older games on Windows 10/11
  • you want GPU-accelerated algorithms like FSR or Anime4K without per-app integration
  • you prefer a free, open-source alternative to paid scaling tools

When to avoid

  • you are not on Windows 10 v1903+ or Windows 11
  • your GPU lacks DirectX feature level 11
  • you need to upscale content on Linux or macOS
