## About

### What it is

Tile Upscaler is a Gradio app that makes a larger version of an image. It names Real-ESRGAN, a Juggernaut Reborn diffusion model and ControlNet 1.1 among its models, along with embeddings and LoRA files. It also names a Stable Diffusion safety checker, and it runs on GPU hardware at Hugging Face.

### Who it suits

People who have a small or low-resolution picture and want a bigger one for a design, a print or a post.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Design | Graphic designers | Enlarge artwork for a layout | Upscale a small illustration |
| Photography | Photographers | Make a bigger copy of an older photo | Upscale a scan of a print |
| Marketing | Social media teams | Prepare larger versions of campaign images | Enlarge a product shot |
| Software | Developers | Study an upscaling pipeline in Gradio | Read app.py |

People who only need to shrink or crop images can skip it.

### Where to use it

- A browser, by visiting the Space on Hugging Face
- Windows, macOS or Linux with Python, for a copy on your own computer
- A local Gradio page, once app.py is running

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Enlarge an image | Designers and photographers | A larger version of the picture |
| Try the sample images | New users | A quick look at the app with the included pictures |

### How to set it up

- Python and pip on Windows, macOS or Linux
- The Python packages in requirements.txt
- Gradio 5.49.1, the version the Space uses
- A GPU, since the Space is set to zero-a10g

1. Install the Hugging Face hub package.
2. Download the Space with the hf command.
3. Move into the new folder.
4. Install gradio at the version the Space uses, then the listed packages.
5. Start the app with Python.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download gokaygokay/Tile-Upscaler --repo-type space --local-dir Tile-Upscaler
cd Tile-Upscaler
pip install gradio==5.49.1
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
```

### How to use it

Online, visit the Space on Hugging Face, give it a picture and read the larger result. On your own computer, run the start command and open the local page Gradio serves.

```sh
python app.py
```

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| app.py | Starts the Gradio interface |
| requirements.txt | Lists the Python packages to install |
| image1.jpg | A sample picture kept in the repository |
| image2.png | A sample picture kept in the repository |

### Example

You give the app a small photo and ask for a larger one. It returns an enlarged version of the picture.

### For newcomers and experts

If you are new, try one of the sample pictures in the repository first. Upscaling means making an image bigger while keeping it looking sharp.

If you know the field, the Space combines Real-ESRGAN with a diffusion model and ControlNet, and it uses embeddings and LoRA files from philz1337x. Gradio is pinned to 5.49.1 and the hardware is zero-a10g. The trade-off is a GPU requirement and several large downloads.

You give the app a picture → The upscaling models enlarge it → The diffusion model adds detail → You get the larger picture back

### Good to know

- Hardware: the Space is set to zero-a10g
- Models: it names six models or model folders on Hugging Face
- Credit: the author asks that academic work cite the Space and its upstream models
- License: apache-2
- Cost to run: GPU hardware, no API key or paid service is named
- Data it reaches: the pictures you give it and the models it fetches from Hugging Face
