CheapUpscaler

AI video upscaling and frame interpolation desktop app for Windows.

Features

  • RIFE - Frame interpolation (2x/4x/8x) via SVP or Practical-RIFE
  • Real-CUGAN - Anime/cartoon upscaling with TensorRT acceleration
  • Real-ESRGAN - General content upscaling with multiple models
  • Non-AI - Traditional algorithms (Lanczos, xBR, HQx, Bicubic)
  • Background job queue with pause/resume/cancel
  • SQLite persistence for job history
  • Dependency manager with auto-detection

Requirements

  • Windows 10/11 (x64)
  • .NET 10.0
  • NVIDIA GPU recommended for AI upscaling

Optional dependencies (the app detects what's installed):

  • FFmpeg
  • VapourSynth + Python
  • vs-mlrt / TensorRT
  • SVP or Practical-RIFE

Build

git clone https://github.com/CheapNud/CheapUpscaler.git
cd CheapUpscaler
dotnet run --project CheapUpscaler.Blazor

Publish

Self-contained single-file build (no .NET runtime required):

cd CheapUpscaler.Blazor
dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained true -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true -o "./publish"

Output in CheapUpscaler.Blazor/publish/:

  • CheapUpscaler.Blazor.exe (~145 MB)
  • wwwroot/ folder (Blazor static assets)
