How to upscale anime images and digital art

Generic photo enhancers ruin anime: they treat clean line-work like photographic texture and produce smudged, waxy results. Illustration needs a model trained on illustration.

AI Upscale ships a dedicated Anime mode — trained on anime, cartoons and digital art — that keeps lines sharp, gradients smooth and colors flat where they should be flat.
