What the publisher says
As described on Microsoft Marketplace.
Waifu2x is an open-source image super-resolution and noise reduction tool powered by deep convolutional neural networks. Originally developed to enhance anime-style artwork, it also works effectively on photographs and other images, allowing users to upscale images while preserving details and reducing artifacts.
Features of Waifu2x:

- Image super-resolution: Upscales images up to 2× or higher with minimal quality loss.
- Noise reduction: Removes grain, blur, and compression artifacts for cleaner outputs.
- CPU and GPU support: Runs on standard CPUs and CUDA-enabled GPUs for faster performance.
- Wide applicability: Ideal for anime art, digital illustrations, compressed scans, and low-quality photos.
- Runs on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS using Python virtual environments for safe and isolated package management.

Confirmed means matched to a public authoritative registry. Claimed means the vendor or its listing states it, not yet cross-checked. A framework not shown was not found in any source we hold, which is not evidence against it. Not listed means a scoped registry check found no match for this vendor's domain: a No is a scoped registry check, not a compliance judgment. Confidence bands: 95% domain-verified, 90% registry-checked, 80% self-attested, 70% weak signal. Self-attested items marked “vendor's site” are gathered from the vendor's own website and are not verified by us.

Unknown means this listing does not publish a repository. It is not a statement that the code is closed, and a linked repository is not a claim that the publisher wrote it: the registry computes that relationship privately and does not publish it.
Evidence risk is the share of the build you cannot see before you deploy, not a security rating. Sign in to see the layer-by-layer basis for this band.
