Final2x at a glance

Checked 16 Oct 2026

Final2x is an Electron desktop app over a PyTorch backend (Final2x-core, built on the cccv library) that upscales images with built-in super-resolution models or custom ones. Desktop builds exist for Windows (also winget and Scoop) and macOS; Linux users install the Python backend with pip and PyTorch. Code is BSD-3-Clause, but the README does not state licences for the bundled weights or any hardware requirements. No face restoration or plugins. Active: v4.1.0 released Sep 2026.
