Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when a Windows-based workflow needs to process multiple images or videos, combine enhancement stages, or interpolate video frames. RIFE is a video-only chain step.

Who it is for

  • Windows users improving or restoring batches of images.
  • People restoring facial detail in low-resolution or blurry photos and video frames.
  • Video editors seeking frame interpolation for smoother motion or slow-motion content.
  • Developers interested in an MIT-licensed Python media-processing project.

Documented uses

  • Upscale and recover detail in images with Real-ESRGAN-family, BSRGAN or other supported models.
  • Reduce image noise using supported denoising models.
  • Restore facial detail with GFPGAN.
  • Interpolate video frames with RIFE at 2×, 4× or 8×.
  • Batch-process media or chain multiple supported stages into a sequential workflow.
