Mixed 3D/2D CGI animations on some 2D animations it might sharpen the edges. General usage is to upscale CGI animations compressed by YouTube.

CGIMaster v1

Purpose: 2x anime upscaler which tries to preserve dof

2x anime upscaler, a non-otf version of the HFA2kCompact model which tries to preserve dof by not deblurring.

HFA2k compact multijpg

Upscaling frames from Irodori anime (namely kemono friends) from 540p (the source render resolution) to 1080p, low resolution flat shaded art, de-JPEG of the aforementioned

KemonoScale v2

Upscale Anime while keeping as much of the original detail as possible. Isn't among the sharpest models and if the anime is somewhat blurry it will retain that detail but add more pixels to give a smoother edge. Doesn't change the color very much and may make some scene's very slightly darker.

Pretrained model: Pony Models

Upscale MLP episodes. Liter version. Able to handle compression better compared to V1.0 and no longer creates halo's/rainbows. Good for Vector 2D art however converts detail to blobs.

Loyaldk LitePony V2.0

Upscale MLP episodes. Liter version. Able to handle compression better compared to V1.0 and no longer creates halo's/rainbows. Good for Vector 2D art however converts detail to blobs. Leaves more blobs when converting detail to blobs compared to litepony

Loyaldk MediumPony V2.0

Loyaldk SuperPony V1.0

Upscale MLP episodes. Full version. Able to handle compression better compared to V1.0 and no longer creates halo's/rainbows. Good for Vector 2D art however converts detail to blobs.

Loyaldk SuperPony V2.0

Made to restore screentones and remove compression artifacts in manga images with widths between 650 and 900 pixels (can be more than 900).

2x Manga Ora

2x compact fast universal upscaler pair trained with jpg degradation (down to 40) and multiscale (down_up, bicubic, bilinear, box, nearest, lanczos).

2x-NomosUni_compact_multijpg

Purpose: 2x fast universal upscaler with medium degradation handling (jpg compression, noise, blur)

2x compact fast universal upscaler with medium degradation handling using the Real-ESRGAN training pipeline, based off 2xNomosUni_compact_otf_strong. Handles jpg compression, some noise, and some blur (so dejpgs, denoises and deblurs).

NomosUni compact otf medium

Purpose: 2x universal upscaler

2x esrgan universal upscaler, pair trained with jpg degradation (down to 40) and multiscale (down_up, bicubic, bilinear, box, nearest, lanczos).

Try it out in [this huggingface space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Phips/upscale) I made (since the spaces uses cpu, testing locally on your gpu would be faster)

NomosUni esrgan multijpg

2x span fast universal upscaler pair trained with jpg degradation (down to 40) and multiscale (down_up, bicubic, bilinear, box, nearest, lanczos).

2x-NomosUni_span_multijpg

Purpose: Animation, Pixel Art

This model has VERY strong compression removal and line restructuring that allows it to restore any heavily compressed drawings, animation, cartoons, or anime. Also works on games as well as DDS compression. It renders frames very quickly and is very viable for restoring videos.

Pretrained model: 4x-MMScale (Yes, 4x. mistakes were made)

UniScale CartoonRestore Lite

Purpose: 

Emulating Waifu2x at Noise Level 3 NOTE: You can't use this with regular esrgan forks or the bot, it has to be run through basicsr

Waifaux NL3 SRResNet

Purpose: 

Trained this model to see how it would work trying to essentially get the same results as Waifu2x but with ESRGAN

Waifaux NL3 SuperLite

Good for Vector 2D art however converts detail to blobs. Quality seems weak with this one. However posting anyways to see if a use is found.

Purpose: Art/Anime

Highly flexible 2D Art upscaling
