I'll just add one more as a happy customer who would never upload personal photos to some AI service: ACDSee [0] has local AI tagging and super resolution upscaling without any associated cloud services or subscriptions, it's just a one time purchase lifetime license - basically a lightroom classic competitor. [0] https://www.acdsee.com/en/photo-studio/ai/

ACDSee - wow, it's been a while since I saw this name! For the not familiar: it's been one of better photo viewer apps on Windows in early 2000s. At some point I learnt about IrfanView though and moved to it. (And then moved to MacOS). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACDSee

XnView is good & multi platform. :)

What model does this use? Anything that sets it apart from the dozens of other open-source/free/pay upscalers? https://huggingface.co/fal/AuraSR https://upscayl.org/ https://www.topazlabs.com/gigapixel https://skylum.com/luminar/upscale-ai https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/super-res... https://www.upscale.media/ https://ai.nero.com/image-upscaler https://imgupscaler.com/ etc.

> Anything that sets it apart from the dozens of other open-source/free/pay upscalers? This needs a very compelling answer since it's asking for a Netflix* subscription to do 50 images in a month. * Or whatever streaming service that's providing decades worth of content for $15 a month.

Haha I mean you could also argue Netflix is underpriced?

Seconding this, their XnView MP version works on various platforms, too: https://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp/

I especially like the batch operations, for when I want to do stuff with format conversions, resizing, EXIF data and other things. Really pleasant software.

I used IrfanView before then, it was honestly great for Windows. It was mentioned in the parent comment, here's their page, too: https://www.irfanview.com/

But my use cases have been regular image operations, never really the fancy AI stuff, no idea what the software landscape there is like (have to mention, given the topic).

Is this post a spam submission? The website looks like a super generic landing page template; the kind you find when you search "youtube video downloader" and similar. Take that "#1 AI Image Upscaler" banner for example. #1 according to who? The AI Image Upscaler Academy Awards panel?

As soon as I saw that weird banner I checked if it linked to whatever had given it this award, and then closed the tab.
