Upscaling Models - Community Edition

Modified on Wed, 4 Sep at 1:21 PM

Use preinstalled upscaling models or upload custom upscaling models in Invoke to have more control of the upscaling process.


Note: If you are using the Professional Edition of Invoke (e.g., you login at app.invoke.ai through your web browser) please refer to the Upscaling Models - Professional Edition page


Getting started

To help you get started, we've added a few popular upscaling models to the Starter Models tab in the Model Manager. Search for "upscale" in the Starter Models search bar to find them.


Using Upscaling Models

The spandrel library handles loading and running the models.

Spandrel can do a lot more than upscaling - it supports a wide range of "image to image" models. This includes single-image super resolution like ESRGAN (upscalers) but also things like GFPGAN (face restoration) and DeJPEG (cleans up JPEG compression artifacts).


A complete list of supported architectures can be found here.


Note: We have not enabled the restrictively-licensed architectures, which are denoted with a + symbol in the list.


Installing Models

You can install models found online via the Model Manager, just like any other model. OpenModelDB is a popular place to get these models. For most of them, you can copy the model's download link and paste in into the Model Manager to install.
