Local

Your footage stays on your own machine instead of being uploaded to a hosted render service.

Compare

Draggable before/after preview helps you check results before committing to a full pass.

ETA

Stage-by-stage processing estimates highlight the slowest parts of the pipeline up front.

Update

Built-in GitHub release updates reduce friction after the initial install.

Built For Real Video Cleanup

Inspired by premium video-tool landing pages, but positioned around this app's actual desktop workflow and feature set.

AI Upscaling Profiles

Switch between Natural Footage, Animation, and Restore profiles without manually rebuilding every setting from scratch.

Speed vs Detail Control

Quick Preview, Balanced Workflow, and Max Detail presets make tradeoffs explicit instead of burying them inside obscure settings.

Runtime Awareness

ETA guidance uses hardware detection and stage timing profiles so you can test with shorter clips before long exports.

Direct Auto-Updates

The updater checks GitHub Releases, downloads the latest Windows build, and reduces manual maintenance after setup.

Workflow Profiles

Fast drafts when you need answers. Higher detail when you are ready.

PixelForge AI is structured around practical production behavior: run a quick check first, inspect a compare view, then move into a cleaner pass once the settings are proven.

Quick Preview Faster test renders for early decision making.
Balanced Workflow A default middle ground for quality and runtime.
Max Detail Higher-fidelity output settings for final passes.

Content Modes

  • Natural Footage for live-action material
  • Animation / Anime for stylized linework
  • Restore for older or rougher source material

Advanced Controls

  • Model selection, scale, and thread tuning
  • Denoise, sharpen, and image cleanup settings
  • Interpolation, target FPS, CRF, and output dimensions
  • Clip range control for fast spot-check runs

How The App Works

A straightforward desktop workflow built around reducing wasted processing time.

01

Select input and output

Load a source file, choose where the export should land, and define a short clip range when you want a quick validation pass.

02

Pick a profile

Choose a speed profile and a content profile so the app sets sane defaults before you go deeper into advanced controls.

03

Preview and estimate

Use the compare preview and ETA panel to understand how the current settings affect quality, runtime, and the expensive stages.

04

Run the final pass

Launch the full job once the settings are proven, then rely on local processing and bundled runtime assets to complete the export.

Packaging

Packaged As A Standalone Windows App

The repository ships a one-file Windows build, bundles the Real-ESRGAN runtime and models into the packaged workflow, and includes direct update support from GitHub Releases.

Important upgrade note

If you are coming from older builds, install v1.0.4 manually once first. After that, the in-app updater is intended to handle future updates.
