Neural Network image upscaling site

Shrike

Hey, so I discovered this cool japanese site, Waifu2X which is intended to upscale anime images 
but it works great on anything else. It uses a neural network and the technology is really promising



Im working on some showcase stuff but all my weapon sprites are only 425x115 and re-rendering them all would be a huge effort, but with the website I just scale them up and surprisingly it looks pretty decent, saves me so much time. 

you can use it here for free in the browser

Really cool stuff, give it a try

There's apparently an executable version of waifu2x with a few more scaling options which is more convenient than using the online version: https://github.com/lltcggie/waifu2x-caffe/releases Topaz gigapixel is similar too, but it uses a different method to upscale images and is usually better for realistic photo stuff while waifu2x is better for flat linework and illustrations.

I used ON1 for up-rezing some textures.  It also worked well for what it does. Maybe not the right thing for linework or non-noisy art but worth checking out.  https://www.on1.com/products/resize/
