RealESRScaler - image/video AI upscaler app (Real-ESRGAN)

RealESRScaler is a Windows app that uses Real-ESRGAN artificial intelligence to enhance, enlarge and reduce noise in photographs and videos.

RealESRScaler is completely written in Python, from backend to frontend. External packages are:

• AI -> Pytorch-directml
• GUI -> Tkinter / Tkdnd / Sv_ttk
• Image/video -> OpenCV / Moviepy
• Packaging -> Pyinstaller
• Miscellaneous -> Pywin32 / Win32mica / split_image

• Windows 11 / Windows 10
• RAM >= 8Gb
• Directx12 compatible GPU:
  • any AMD >= Radeon HD 7000 series
  • any Intel HD Integrated >= 4th-gen core
  • any NVIDIA >= GTX 600 series

• Easy to use GUI
• Image/list of images upscale
• Video upscale
• Drag&drop files [image/multiple images/video]
• Automatic image tiling and merging to avoid gpu VRAM limitation
• Resize image/video before upscaling
• Multiple gpu backend
• Compatible images - png, jpeg, bmp, webp, tif
• Compatible video - mp4, wemb, gif, mkv, flv, avi, mov, qt

• Switch to Pytorch-directml to support all Directx12 compatible gpu (AMD, Intel, Nvidia)
• New GUI with Windows 11 style
• Include audio for upscaled video
• Optimizing image/frame resize and video frames extraction speed
• Update libraries
  • Python 3.10 (expecting ~10% more performance)
  • Python 3.11 (expecting ~30% more performance)
  • pytorch-directml

• Windows10 - the app starts with white colored navbar instead of dark
• Upscaling multiple images doesn't free GPU Vram, so the it is very likely that the process will fail when the gpu memory fills up
• Filenames with non-latin symbols (for example kangy, cyrillic etc.) not supported - [Temp solution] rename files like "image" or "video"
• When running ReSR.Scaler as Administrator, drag&drop is not working
