    This needs an update. It works as specified, and it does so offline. Unfortunately, on the images I tested (diagrams), the client-side AI is not noticeably clearer than the canvas upscaler. The client-side AI cannot deal with compression artifacts, which is the most important component of the AI upscaling. If all the system did was clear up the compression artifacting that almost every image online has without even upscaling, one could then use the canvas upscaling to get adequate images. Unf...

Unfortunately, on the images I tested (diagrams), the client-side AI is not noticeably clearer than the canvas upscaler. The client-side AI cannot deal with compression artifacts, which is the most important component of the AI upscaling. If all the system did was clear up the compression artifacting that almost every image online has without even upscaling, one could then use the canvas upscaling to get adequate images. Unfortunately, the client-side upscaler cannot do this and instead preserves and amplifies these compression artifacts.\nAnother unfortunate aspect of the program is how the client-side upscaler creates its own artifacts. It creates a grid of multicolor dots throughout the image, and has strange lines emerge between these dots. As the client-side upscaler is exponentially slower than the HTML canvas upscaler and already does not create a noticeably cleaner image, the fact that it then adds its own artifacts to the image makes it practically useless.\nIf this program were to use a newer upscaling algorithm that cleaned up compression artifacts and didn't add it's own artifacts, this would be an easy 4/5 program. If you could then choose to have it output its images as .png's or another lossless image format, it would be an easy 5/5.",[1773097437,685069235],[1773097437,667794917],null,null,null,null,null,"0.1.3",null,"en","gmlpefcldkdncjphjmojnakmphpcjemm"],["5b317306-dad8-4e94-94b4-0c5c22d94b4b",["John Malan","https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjXJn-eB4OWm490v87ZQ79Qw7p-V1orC86WmZdS14LAn7xT9XVwD\u003ds32"],1,"There are websites which do a far better job.",[1707658753,391899914],[1707658753,373602584],8,2,null,null,null,"0.1.1",null,"en","gmlpefcldkdncjphjmojnakmphpcjemm"]],2], sideChannel: {}});
