AuraSR is a 600M parameter upsampler model derived from the GigaGAN paper. It works super fast and uses a very limited VRAM below 5 GB. It is deterministic upscaler. It works perfect in some images but fails in some images so it is worth to give it a shot.

I have developed 1-click installers and a batch upscaler App.
You can download installers and advanced batch App from below link:

How to Install and Use on Windows
Extract the attached GigaGAN_Upscaler_v1.zip into a folder like c:/giga_upscale
Then double click and install with Windows_Install.bat file
It will generate an isolated virtual environment venv folder and install requirements

All upscaled images will be saved into outputs folder automatically with same name and plus numbering if necessary
You can also batch upscale a folder
How to Install and Use on Cloud
