Thanks to the advancement of artificial intelligence, you can easily enhance pixelated images into better resolution images. + +Using a regular image editor requires manual efforts for upscaling the images. + +There are tons of online AI image upscalers available, but they can't be trusted with your data. + +A new project tries to solve this by providing you with a simple desktop application that lets you enhance low resolution photos in a new click. + +It's first version is released today. + +### Upscayl Features + +[Upscayl][2] is a cross-platform application built with the Linux-first philosophy. + +This simply means that Linux builds get priority but other platforms will also be supported. + +Developed using Python and JavaScript, Upscayl gives a simple interface where you select the input image and output folder and hit the Upscayl button to enhance the image. + +Here's a video of Upscayl in action. + +![][3] + +0:00 + +### Using Upscayl + +I don't have lots of blurry pictures on my computer. Not that I am an excellent photographer, just too lazy to look for them among thousands of pictures. + +Still, I managed to get a blurry, old photo from 2011 (it was 11 years ago and can be considered old now). + +![Old blurry photo of a kitchen][4] + +Don't judge me because I took a random photo of my kitchen counter. There must have been a good reason (or so I want to believe). + +Anyway. I tried to upscale the image with Upscayl. + +![Using Upscayl][5] + +It took quite some processing power, but my 8-core, 11th Gen i7 processor with 16 GB RAM easily handled it. + +![CPU usage while Upscayl works on upscaling the image][6] + +The single image processing took around 4 minutes and the 435 KB image resulted in a 24 MB image. Quite honestly, I hardly noticed visible differences. + +![Upscaled image by Upscayl][7] + +I wanted to embed the final result in the article here. But uploading a 24 MB image would be overkill for my server and your browser. + +### Getting Upscayl + +Still, my not-so-successful experiment should not deter you from trying it out yourself. + +The application is available for Linux at the moment. Support for Windows and macOS is planned. + +You can get Upscayl in AppImage and Flatpak formats. I used the AppImage version, you can use whichever you prefer. + +The files are available on the release page. + +[Download Upscayl][8] + +And if you liked the project, don't forget to star it on GitHub 👇 + +[GitHub - TGS963/upscayl: 🆙 Upscayl - Free and Open Source AI Image Upscaler for Linux, MacOS and Windows][9] + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/upscayl-version-1-release/ + +作者：[Abhishek][a] +选题：[lkxed][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/abhishek/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w1200/2022/08/upscayl-image-upscaler.png +[2]: https://github.com/TGS963/upscayl +[3]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/media/2022/08/upscayl-in-action.mp4 +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/08/old-blurry-photo.jpg +[5]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/08/Using-Upscayl-for-image-processing.png +[6]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/08/Upscayl-CPU-usage.png +[7]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/08/Upscayl-final-result.png +[8]: https://github.com/TGS963/upscayl/releases +[9]: https://github.com/TGS963/upscayl
