Optional Dependencies

ESRGAN (Upscaling)

ESRGAN models such as those from the Model Database, may be placed into the ESRGAN directory. A file will be loaded as a model if it has .pth extension, and it will show up with its name in the UI.

Note: RealESRGAN models are not ESRGAN models, they are not compatible. Do not download RealESRGAN models. Do not place RealESRGAN into the directory with ESRGAN models.
