Why would anyone build with this?

REASON 1

Upscale a folder of anime video files to a higher resolution in one batch job.

REASON 2

Benchmark your GPU to pick practical upscaling settings before rendering.

REASON 3

Resume an interrupted video upscale job instead of starting over from scratch.

REASON 4

Upscale still images up to 16K resolution and export as PNG or JPG.

Wtf does this do

UltraFrame AI is a Windows desktop application for improving the quality of videos and images in bulk, using an AI model called RealESRGAN. Upscaling means taking lower resolution footage and generating a higher resolution version of it, filling in detail the AI has learned to predict. This app works especially well on animated and anime style content, since that is what the underlying model was trained to handle best. The program gives you a graphical interface where you can build a queue of videos or images from individual files or entire folders, switch between video and image modes, and choose practical render settings based on a quick benchmark of your own graphics card. If a video render gets interrupted partway through, the app can often resume it instead of starting over. Once processing finishes, you can open the result folder directly from the app, and the interface is available in English, Russian, German, Japanese, and Chinese. Video processing relies on a separate tool called FFmpeg for reading and writing video files. This app does not include FFmpeg itself. Instead, it can point to an existing FFmpeg installation on your computer, or download and install one automatically after you confirm. Image only upscaling does not need FFmpeg at all. This is built with C# as a Windows desktop app, requires a graphics card that supports Vulkan for the upscaling engine to run, and needs the .NET 8 desktop runtime unless you use the fully self-contained portable build. The project's own code is released under the MIT license, though the FFmpeg component it can install keeps its own separate license terms.
