About Waifu2x: AI Photo Upscaler HD
Unblur and upscale photos and anime art 2x–4x with on-device AI. 100% free, no ads, no limits. Every image is processed on your device, so it works offline and nothing is ever uploaded.
■ Completely free – no ads, no in-app purchases
Every feature is available with no limits.
■ AI picks the best model for you
Just choose an image. The AI tells illustrations from photos and enhances each with the model that suits it best.
■ Four AI models
• waifu2x – the classic upscaler for illustrations and anime
• Real-ESRGAN Anime – high-quality 4x upscaling with AI detail completion
• Real-ESRGAN Photo (Light) – fast 4x upscaling for photos
• Real-ESRGAN Photo (High Quality) – the best 4x quality for photos
■ Not happy? Try another model
From the result screen, switch to another model in one tap and process the same image again.
■ Batch processing
Select and process up to 20 images at once, with a progress bar to follow along.
■ Before/After comparison
Compare the original and the result with a slider or a toggle button.
■ Easy saving and sharing
Save to Photos as PNG or JPEG and adjust the JPEG quality. Share results in one tap.
■ History
Look back at images you processed before, then save or share them again.
■ Light & dark mode
The app follows your device setting, or you can choose one in the app.
■ Privacy first
All images are processed on your device. Nothing is uploaded to a server or used to train AI.
