Installation.

NiceScaler does not require any installation, it's a single portable exe usable on any Windows PC

Supported IA backends.

Actually NiceScaler utilize only CPU to upscale to be compatible with any PC, even without powerfull GPU

Features.

  1. Different IA models selection
  2. Drag and drop image 
  3. Upscaling x2 one image at a time 
  4. Simple and clean GUI
  5. Compatible with PNG, JPEG, BMP, WEBP, TIF images
  6. Portable everywhere without installation

Next steps.

If the project is well followed, I will update and implement all the following features:

  1. Batch upscaling (load multiple images)
  2. Video upscaling
  3. More AI backends (CUDA / OpenCL / Vulkan)
  4. GUI-related funcionalities  (Button to stop upscaling, etc.)
  5. Pre-processing (image/videos downscaling before upscaling)
