✨ AuraSR v2: Advanced GAN Super-Resolution for Images 🖼️

Replicate

AuraSR v2 is an improved GAN-based super-resolution tool that enhances image clarity and size. Based on the GigaGAN concept and optimized for real-world applications, it excels with a wide range of image types.

See AuraSR v2 in action

🎨 Features

  • Upscales PNG, WebP, JPEG, and other common image formats
  • Supports 4x upscaling with improved quality
  • Efficient processing with overlapped tile technique
  • Optimized for both AI-generated and high-quality photographs

⚠️ Important Notes

AuraSR v2 is more versatile than its predecessor but still has some considerations:

  1. Excellent results with a wide range of image types, including compressed formats
  2. Improved handling of compression artifacts
  3. Enhanced performance on real-world photographs
  4. Ideal for upscaling both AI-generated and high-quality natural images

🛠️ Usage

Input Parameters

  • image: The input image to upscale (supports various formats including PNG, WebP, JPEG)
  • scale_factor: Fixed at 4x upscaling

Example

import replicate
output = replicate.run(
    "zsxkib/aura-sr-v2:<VERSION>",
    input={
        "image": open("path/to/your/image.jpg", "rb"),
    }
)
print(output)
