## Installation.

QualityScaler is completely portable; just download, unzip and execute the file .exe

## Supported AI Backend.

* Nvidia Cuda \[v10.2\]
* CPU \[works without GPU, but is very slow\]

## Features.

* Easy to use GUI
* Images and video upscale
* Drag&amp;drop files \[image/multiple images/video\]
* Different upscale factors:
   * auto - automatic choose best upscale factor for the GPU used (to avoid running out of VRAM)
   * x1   - will mantain same resolution but will reconstruct the image (ideal for bigger images) 
   * x2   - upscale factor 2: 500x500px -&gt; 1000x1000px
   * x4   - upscale factor 4: 500x500px -&gt; 2000x2000px
* Cpu and Gpu \[cuda\] backend
* Compatible images - PNG, JPEG, BMP, WEBP, TIF  
* Compatible video  - MP4, WEBM, GIF, MKV, FLV, AVI, MOV 

## Next steps.

1. Use both model for the upscale
2. Include audio for upscaled video
3. Support for other GPUs (AMD, Intel) with new backend
