🪟 Install on Windows

Download the Latest Windows Installer Executable (6.1.1)

You can download the latest Windows release on the releases page. For basic GUI usage, refer to the documentation. If you're unable to download directly from GitHub, try the mirror site. The GUI currently supports the following languages:

🐧 Install on Linux

You can install Video2X on Arch Linux using the video2x-git AUR package or on Ubuntu/Debian using the .deb package from the releases page. If you'd like to build from source, refer to the PKGBUILD file for a general overview of the required packages and commands. If you'd prefer not to compile the program from source, consider using the container image below.

📦 Container Image

Video2X container images are available on the GitHub Container Registry for easy deployment on Linux and macOS. If you already have Docker/Podman installed, only one command is needed to start upscaling a video. For more information on how to use Video2X's Docker image, please refer to the documentation.

📔 Google Colab

You can use Video2X on Google Colab for free if you don't have a powerful GPU of your own. You can borrow a powerful GPU (NVIDIA T4, L4, or A100) on Google's server for free for a maximum of 12 hours per session. Please use the free resource fairly and do not create sessions back-to-back and run upscaling 24/7. This might result in you getting banned. You can get Colab Pro/Pro+ if you'd like to use better GPUs and get longer runtimes. Usage instructions are embedded in the Colab Notebook.
