The up-scaled ones always look overly smooth to me. Looks unnatural in a lot of cases.

#34Absolutely amazing. Thank you!

#35These image upscalers always seem to remove noise in ways that make the result look terrible. You should be adding reasonable texture, not smearing surfaces in vaseline.
This is especially obvious for the Machu Picchu image where the cobble stone walls are turned into different walls. Original: https://imageupscalerai.com/static/images/test-machupicchu.j... Upscaled: https://imageupscalerai.com/static/images/result-machupicchu...
Does the result get better if you upscale multiple times, in smaller intervals, so that the single jump extrapolation of detail is not as large going from the original to 8x?

Because there's nothing new there - these are all built on top of other people's work with very, very light low-effort UI wrappers.

As someone who dabbles in making apps myself I'd rather get such feedback and have an option of fixing it (where it mentions genuine issues) than have only thumbs up and then everyone moves on because everyone thinks the app/site is bad, but they don't tell you not to hurt your feelings. It is HN, after all. :-)

I would wonder if increasing the size of the image keeping the pixelation and then using a pixelation removal network might do better than this. Those, at least, are already trained to add detail where it isn't.

#40If you prefer to run something like this locally while maintaining 100% ownership and control of your files here is my android app I wrote 6 months ago: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luksapps.i... It uses the best open model on the market to run up scaling (multiple versions of Real-ESRGAN) and runs them in 10s~up to few min per photo on relatively modern mobile phones. This is a free ad supported…
Nice! however, it says not available for my device (Galaxy Flip 4).
Hopefully at some point it will be?
