About this site

Upscaler Bench is a set of practical guides, explainers and free browser tools about AI image upscaling, published on magnificai.org.

History of the domain

In 2024 magnificai.org hosted an unofficial blog about Magnific AI. The domain later lapsed and changed hands. It now hosts a general guide to AI upscaling. A few old article addresses redirect to their closest current equivalent, so existing links still lead somewhere useful.

Disclosure

Not affiliated with Magnific or Freepik. This site isn’t operated, endorsed or sponsored by Magnific (magnific.ai), Freepik or any other vendor we mention. “Magnific” is a trademark of its owner and appears here only to identify the product being discussed.

Ownership: this site is run by the team behind Upsampler, one of the tools we compare. That’s a conflict of interest, and you should weigh what we write with it in mind. To keep ourselves honest, we publish our method, list the strengths of competing tools (including free and open-source ones), mark Upsampler as “our product” wherever it appears, and don’t publish scores, ratings or test results we haven’t actually measured.

Sister project: the same owner runs 3D Valley (3D models, textures and HDRIs). We link to it only where it helps, for example from the relighting explainer, and say so when we do.
