+Linux-First AI Image Upscaler Upscayl Released its First Version
+======
+Not every day you come across an application with 'Linux-first' approach.
+
+![Linux-First AI Image Upscaler Upscayl Released its First Version][1]
+
+Got a pixelated, low-resolution image from the 2000s? 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.

+
+### 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.
+

+
+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.
