apparently ppl don’t know about waifu2x??? despite its… concerning name it’s literally the most convenient website i’ve ever come across as an artist
it allows you to resize artwork without it becoming pixellated. this is a MASSIVE help if you, for example, make lineart too small or something. it works best with things that 1. have no textures 2. have smooth lines 3. have cel shading, but it still works really damn well for things that don’t fit that profile
here’s an example:
normal size
2x in paint
2x in waifu2x
so like, there’s that. go wild

It’s legit!! Tell your friends!
waifu2x-multi is the newer version. It allows for rescaling multiple pictures at a time and to scale them up to 10x the original size.
So fun fact, and I’m sure this has also been stated but, Waifu2x utilizes a very well tuned AI that literally redraws what is input at the new size.
I have seen it used on a variety of older cartoons and anime, and it produces much better results than even official remasters can achieve. It literally works by redrawing each frame of animation, sure a little background detail is lost/blurred, but the overall effect on the focus of the animation is mind blowing!
