AI image upscaling and restoration tools

This cluster consists of local web tools that upscale and restore images using AI models, emphasizing batch processing, before-and-after comparisons, and preservation of original likeness. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from – it predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders are video2x-webgui, AI-Photo-Restorer-Upscaler-Windows, and anime-image-upscaler.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
