## What it is
A Windows GUI application for upscaling images, GIFs, and videos using multiple AI super-resolution engines (Waifu2x, Real-ESRGAN, Real-CUGAN, Anime4K, RTX VSR, etc.) and for AI video frame interpolation (RIFE, DAIN, etc.). It supports AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs with multi-GPU processing and a user-friendly interface.

## Use cases
- upscale anime images without losing quality
- enlarge low-resolution videos with AI
- increase GIF resolution
- interpolate video frames to increase FPS
- denoise and upscale old photos
- batch upscale images on Windows with GPU acceleration

## When to choose
- you want a ready-to-use Windows GUI for AI image/video upscaling
- you need support for multiple super-resolution engines and GPU vendors
- you want video frame interpolation bundled with upscaling

## When to avoid
- you need a command-line tool or library to embed in your own pipeline
- you are on Linux or macOS
- you need a fully open-source permissive license for commercial redistribution

## Facets
- artifact type: application
