Iceshell is a GUI program that upscales and denoises anime-style images. Iceshell allows you to choose among 3 different AI super-resolution models: Real-CUGAN, Real-ESRGAN and Waifu2x
Available on Linux and Windows.
This program can make your images better! Below is a comparison of different upscalers. Imagemagick upscale is the result you would get from a conventional image manipulation program such as Krita or Photoshop, which doesn't use AI model.

A GPU is required to run this program.
Python
Download the repository and install PyQt5:
git clone https://github.com/eli0009/iceshell
pip3 install PyQt5
Python
Go to the install directory and run iceshell.py:
cd iceshell
python3 iceshell.py
JPG, JPEG, PNG and WEBP image formats are supported.
Either drag & drop your images or select them by clicking on the main window. Upscaled images are outputted to the same folder as the input by default.
Real-CUGAN is an AI super resolution model for anime images, trained in a million scale anime dataset, using the same architecture as Waifu2x-CUNet
Real-ESRGAN aims at developing Practical Algorithms for General Image/Video Restoration
Waifu2x is an Image Super-Resolution model for Anime-style art using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
