Waifu2x - Upscale Lower Quality Images & Wallpapers - Oni - 08-19-2026
If you've ever had 1080p/720p wallpapers that looked awful, Waifu2x is an excellent option for upscaling them.
Settings
Styles:
- Artwork, Artwork/Scans, Photo
- Determines how the image is upscaled. "Photo" works better for actual photos or cinematic imagery. Varies depending on wallpaper. Some anime looks good under "Photo".
Noise Reduction:
- None, Low, Medium, High, Highest
- If your image is already lossy or has pixellation around the edges of characters, this will reduce the artifacting. I recommend starting with the lowest and increasing if more is needed.
Upscaling:
- None, 1.6x, 2x, 4x
- How large the image will become after you submit it. If you submit an image that is 720p under 2x, it will become 1440p.
