Enhance Images with Javascript and AI. Increase resolution, retouch, denoise, and more. Open Source, Browser & Node Compatible, MIT License.

What it solves

UpscalerJS provides a way to enhance images using AI directly within JavaScript environments. It solves the problem of needing complex backend infrastructure to increase image resolution (upscaling), denoise, or deblur images, allowing these tasks to be performed in the browser or on a server.

How it works

The library uses pretrained AI models to process images. It is compatible with Browser, Node.js (supporting both CPU and GPU), and Web Workers. To maintain performance in user interfaces, it includes built-in patch-based processing to ensure high-quality results without lagging the UI.

Who it’s for

Developers who want to integrate image enhancement features into web applications, mobile-friendly sites, or Node.js services without managing their own AI model deployment.

Highlights

  • Pretrained Models: Includes models for resolution increase, denoising, and deblurring.
  • Cross-Platform: Works across browsers, Node.js, and Workers.
  • Custom Models: Supports the integration of user-provided pretrained models for specific needs.
  • UI Optimized: Uses patch-based processing for better performance in frontend applications.
