Upscales images and videos with Real-ESRGAN through a friendly Gradio app. It suits photographers, video editors and creators who want sharper, larger versions of low resolution media. RealESRGAN Pytorch is a kit in the Productivity category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by Nick088 ## About ### What it is RealESRGAN Pytorch is a Gradio app that enlarges images and videos using the ai-forever Real-ESRGAN model. Its tagline calls it a user friendly upscaler for both kinds of media. The repository holds app.py, infer.py, a RealESRGAN folder and a weights folder. ### Who it suits People who have small or soft pictures and clips and want larger versions without learning a command line tool. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Photography | Photographers | Enlarge an old or small photo | A scanned family picture | | Video | Editors | Upscale low resolution clips | A short archive clip | | Marketing | Content creators | Prepare small assets for bigger placements | A web image for print | | Software | Developers | Read how an upscaler is wrapped in Gradio | Opening app.py and infer.py | If your media is already at the size you need, you can skip it. ### Where to use it - A web browser, on the Space's page at Hugging Face - Windows, macOS or Linux with Python, from a downloaded copy | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Image upscaling | Photographers | A larger version of a picture | | Video upscaling | Editors | A larger version of a clip | | Code reading | Developers | A short Gradio app with its inference script | ### How to set it up - Python on your computer - Python packages from requirements.txt, with Gradio 4.36.1 - At Hugging Face the Space runs on zero-a10g hardware, so a copy may want a similar GPU 1. Install the Hugging Face hub package. 2. Download the Space with the hf command. 3. Move into the downloaded folder. 4. Install Gradio 4.36.1, then the requirements. 5. Start app.py. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download Nick088/Real-ESRGAN_Pytorch --repo-type space --local-dir Real-ESRGAN_Pytorch cd Real-ESRGAN_Pytorch pip install gradio==4.36.1 pip install -r requirements.txt python app.py ``` ### How to use it Online, open the Space page and give the app an image or a video through its screen. On your own computer, start it with the command below and use the screen it opens. ```sh python app.py ``` | Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | app.py | The main Gradio file that starts the app | | infer.py | The script that runs the upscaling model | | weights/ | A folder that holds the model weights | ### Example You upload a small photo and run the app. The source does not show the screen, but an upscaler returns a larger version of the same picture. ### For newcomers and experts Open the Space page and try one small image first. Upscaling makes a picture bigger and tries to add believable detail, and a video takes longer than a still. The Space names ai-forever/Real-ESRGAN and keeps a RealESRGAN code folder and a weights folder in the repository. It runs on zero-a10g hardware. The source gives no scale factors, size limits or speed figures, so check the app screen for the options it offers. You give the app an image or video → app.py passes it to infer.py → The Real-ESRGAN model enlarges it → The upscaled result is returned ### Good to know - Hardware: zero-a10g at Hugging Face, built with Gradio 4.36.1 - License: apache-2 - Cost to run: none named - Data it reaches: the images and videos you give it, nothing else named - Not for: the source names no limits ## README ````markdown # RealESRGAN Pytorch Upscales images and videos with Real-ESRGAN through a friendly Gradio app. It suits photographers, video editors and creators who want sharper, larger versions of low resolution media.
