Congrats! Little suggestion if I may, don't use the location of the user to set the default language of the website. Everything on my computer is in English, but your website defaulted to Spanish, as I'm currently in Spain. Am no expert, but a short article I just found on the topic: https://dev.to/bitdweller/stop-setting-the-language-of-your-...

I'm in Washington, USA and it's showing spanish. That's just the default and they don't even use location to set it.

About 20% of documented residents of washington speak spanish, and up to 52% including bilingual, documented, and undocumented. Thus it is the majority language.

Looks cool, but what do you do with the image once uploaded? The FAQ says "Yes, we take security very seriously and ensure that all images uploaded to our platform are protected. Enhancing image quality is safe and reliable." and the Privacy policy looks very generic and not specific to your service. Are the images deleted after x days? Do you keep to train again? What rights (if any) are you claiming once I use it?

We do not use uploaded images for training, nor do we share them with any third parties. We also regularly delete uploaded images, so you can rest assured your data is safe.

Thank you very much for your suggestion. Currently, I don't display the website language based on location; I simply set Spanish as the default language. In the future, I will recommend the language based on the user's browser settings, as mentioned in the article you provided. Thanks again for your suggestion.

In India and Spanish for me too. However, I can select English from the selection dropdown above. Anyways, why is that even the Big Tech does this! For instance, Google Maps will default to Dutch (which in the land of the Dutch) while my OS, the browser and everything else is in English. I found no option to say “English” and be done with it. I can translate but that isn't the correct way to it.

Yes, I believe a better approach is to recommend the language based on the browser settings, allowing users to switch manually if they prefer. This is my plan, and I will release this feature once it's developed.

Haha, yes, that's how it is for now. In the future, I will recommend the language based on the browser settings.

Not as good yet (at least in this case): * original: https://upcdn.io/12a1z2u/image/uploads/2024/07/18/4kU68cBDKF... * "10K" enhanced: https://replicate.delivery/czjl/gFpKKIlEKKZrL1lfqxXlpQrOBbe9...

For images involving faces, selecting the "Enhance Portrait" option will yield better results. You can toggle this option after generating the image. Your image will look much better with this option selected: https://file.mejorarimagen.org/4kU68cBDKF-giphy-face-new.png

This image may not be a representative test case. It looks like it has heavy compression (including posterization), and overall poor quality. "Quality" meaning things like focus, contrast, and low noise- separate from resolution.

Another point is that by default, we don't apply special processing to faces. However, enabling the face enhancement option will greatly improve the quality of photo images.

Really interested in this, but it needs additional login options. Not a Google user myself but would like to check this out.

I'm very sorry, I usually use Google the most. Could you please let me know your preferred login method? Email or something else?

Agree. I see no reason why Google should be the only means to log in

Curious, does this use a publicly available model (such as real-esrgan), or is it a custom model? To reach 10x magnification, is 2x magnification simply consecutively repeated?

Currently, we are using a third-party API directly. Based on my tests, if you enlarge an image repeatedly, the first enlargement might make the image too large, causing the second attempt to fail.
