## What it is
A cross-platform graphical interface for the Real-ESRGAN AI image upscaler (with Real-CUGAN support), built in Python with tkinter. It wraps the Real-ESRGAN-ncnn-vulkan command-line tool with features like drag-and-drop, batch processing, GIF frame upscaling, and arbitrary-size enlargement.

## Use cases
- upscale low-resolution images with AI
- enlarge anime or photo images without blurring
- batch upscale a folder of images
- upscale animated GIFs frame by frame
- enlarge an image to an exact target size
- run an image upscaler locally without installing anything

## When to choose
- you want a simple GUI for Real-ESRGAN or Real-CUGAN on Windows, Linux, or macOS
- you need batch processing or GIF upscaling on top of basic upscaling
- you prefer a portable, fully local tool with no cloud dependency

## When to avoid
- you need a command-line or programmatic API for upscaling in a pipeline
- you require GPU training or fine-tuning of upscaler models
- you need a maintained inference backend - the underlying Real-ESRGAN-ncnn-vulkan is no longer updated (use upscayl-ncnn instead)
