Models Built for Every Source
Specialized AI pipelines — swap models in one click, render locally on your GPU.
Real-ESRGAN
Industry-standard super-resolution for photos, screenshots, and mixed content at 2×–4× scale.
Anime Upscaler
Preserves clean line art and flat color regions — ideal for anime, manga, and cel-shaded artwork.
Photo Restoration
Recovers detail in faded scans, old prints, and compressed JPEGs with balanced denoise and clarity.
Texture Enhancement
Rebuilds surface detail in tileable textures, normal maps, and game assets without muddy artifacts.
El problema
Baja resolución no es divertido
Blurry photo or pixel soup? Upscayl is built for exactly that.
El problema
Old photos, compressed JPEGs, and tiny game textures lose detail when stretched in basic editors. Guessing settings or paying for cloud tools is slow, expensive, and risky for private work.
