4x photo upscaler for faces with otf jpg compression, blur and resize, trained on FFHQ dataset. This has been trained on and for faces, but i guess can also be used for other photos, might be able to retain skin detail. This is not face restoration, but simply a 4x upscaler trained on faces, therefore input images need to be of good quality if good output quality is desired.

4xFFHQDAT

4x anime image upscaler with a bit of otf jpg compression and blur. Trained on musl's hfa2k dataset release for Anime SISR, which has been extracted from modern anime films, where the selection criteria was high SNR, no DOF and high frequency information.

HFA2k

Photos/realistic 3D with JPEG compression, quality 85-95 and 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. - Created for Myst3 images, since all have 4:2:0 chroma subsampling and existing JPEG models did not give good results. Favors smoothing over over-sharpening.

Jaypeg90

Upscale small photos with compression to 4x their size.

Trying to extend my previous model to be able to handle compression (JPG 100-30) by manually altering the training dataset, since 4xLSDIRCompact can't handle compression. Use this instead of 4xLSDIRCompact if your photo has compression (like an image from the web).

LSDIR Compact C

Upscale compressed photos to x4 their size.

Able to handle JPG compression (30-100).

LSDIR Compact C3

A 4x photo upscale DAT model trained with otf (resize, jpg, small blur) on the LSDIR dataset.

4xLSDIRDAT

Interpolation of 4xLSDIRplusC and 4xLSDIRplusR to handle jpg compression and a little bit of noise/blur

4xLSDIRplus

The RealESRGAN_x4plus finetuned with the big LSDIR dataset (84,991 images / 165 GB), with manually added jpg compression.

4xLSDIRplusC

The RealESRGAN_x4plus finetuned with the big LSDIR dataset (84,991 images / 165 GB), with jpg compression and noise and blur

4xLSDIRplusR

Purpose: Art/CGI

Upscaler for clean images or images with compression artifacts (jpeg quality >75) - Produces very sharp lines/edges due to NN-Filtered HR images. Proven to produce very, very good results on drawings (sharp lines) and CGI, but should also work pretty well for real-world images.

NMKD PatchySharp

Universal upscaler for clean and slightly compressed images (JPEG quality 75 or better)

4x Multipurpose DAT upscaler

Trained on DAT with Adan, U-Net SN, huber pixel loss, huber perceptial loss, vanilla gan loss, huber ldl loss and huber focal-frequency loss, on paired nomos_uni (universal dataset containing photographs, anime, text, maps, music sheets, paintings ..) with added jpg compression 40-100 and down_up, bicubic, bilinear, box, nearest and lanczos scales. No blur degradation had been introduced in the training dataset to keep the model from trying to sharpen blurry backgrounds.

The three strengths of this model (design purpose):
1. Multipurpose
2. Handles bokeh effect
3. Handles jpg compression

This model will not:
- Denoise
- Deblur

Pretrained: 4xESRGAN

This is my best model yet! It generates lots and lots of detail and leaves a nice texture on images. It works on most images, whether compressed or not. It does work best on JPEG compression though, as that's mostly what it was trained on. It has the ability to restore highly compressed images as well! If you want a more balanced output, check out the UltraMix Collection down below. It's a bunch of interpolated models based around UltraSharp and my other models

UniScale_Restore has strong compression removal that helps with restoring heavily compressed or noisy images. It is intended to compete with BSRGAN. Trained with BSRGAN_Resize and Combo_Noise in traiNNer.
