AuraSR GigaGAN 4x Upscaler Local (Windows), Cloud (RunPod, Massed Compute, Kaggle) 1-Click Installers and Batch Processing App

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.

GitHub official repo : https://github.com/fal-ai/aura-sr

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

Then double click and install with Windows_Install.bat file

It will generate an isolated virtual environment venv folder and install requirements

Then double click and start the Gradio App with Windows_Start_App.bat file

When first time running it will download models into your Hugging Face cache folder

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
