How is made. 🛠
QualityScaler is completely written in Python, from backend to frontend. External packages are:
- AI -> torch / torch-directml
- GUI -> customtkinter / win32mica
- Image/video -> openCV / moviepy
- Packaging -> pyinstaller / upx
Requirements. 🤓
- Windows 11 / Windows 10
- RAM >= 8Gb
- Any Directx12 compatible GPU with >= 4GB VRAM
Features.
- Easy to use GUI
- Images and Videos upscale
- Automatic image tiling and merging to avoid gpu VRAM limitation
- Resize image/video before upscaling
- Multiple Gpu support
- Compatible images - png, jpeg, bmp, webp, tif
- Compatible video - mp4, wemb, gif, mkv, flv, avi, mov, qt
Next steps. 🤫
- 1.X versions
- 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 video frame resize and extraction speed
- Multi GPU support (for pc with double GPU, integrated + dedicated)
- Python 3.10 (expecting ~10% more performance)
- 2.X versions (now under development)
- New, completely redesigned graphical interface based on @customtkinter
- Upscaling images and videos at once (currently it is possible to upscale images or single video)
- Upscale multiple videos at once
- Python 3.11 (expecting ~30% more performance)
- Torch/torch-directml 2.0 (expecting ~20% more performance)
