Models

General

• 4x_NMKD-Siax_200k - NMKD Siax - Universal upscaler for clean and slightly compressed images (JPEG quality 75 or better), based on CX loss + PatchGAN.
• 4x_NMKD-Superscale-SP_178000_G - NMKD Superscale - Perfect upscaling of clean (artifact-free) real-world images.
• RealESRGANv3 - Lightweight and faster versions of the default model, with (very slightly) worse quality.
  • RealESRGAN_General_WDN_x4_v3 - wide and deep network model
  • RealESRGAN_General_x4_v3
• unknown-2.0.1 - "Unknown" - We still don't know what this model is, but we accidently included it in place of Ultrasharp in v2.0.1 and @royal-rigolo liked it, so here it is!
• uniscale_restore by Kim2091.
• 4xLSDIR by Phhofm.
• 4xLSDIRplusC by Phhofm.
• 4xLSDIRCompactC3 as a SRVGGNET (Compact) model, meaning inference times should be faster, by Phhofm.
• 4xNomos8kSC by Phhofm.
• 4xHFA2k by Phhofm.

Digital Art

animevideo models for scales x2, x3 and x4.

• realesr-animevideov3-x2
• realesr-animevideov3-x3
• realesr-animevideov3-x4

[!NOTE] Upscayl will use the model file name to detect the scale that it supports. If the model file name has 'x2' or '2x' in its name, Upscayl-NCNN will set the target resolution for upscaling accordingly. This doesn't affect the post-processing scaling option, this only affects the actual upscaling via ESRGAN.
