How it works

Anime and illustration have sharp lines and flat colour areas that smear under normal resizing. Waifu XL uses models trained for that style, so it preserves the look of the original art instead of blurring it.

Waifu XL is free to use in the browser. It is a useful tool for anime fans, artists, and anyone working with illustrated images that need enlarging.
