Warlock-Studio is a unified, high-performance platform for upscaling, restoration, denoising, and frame interpolation.
Inspired by Djdefrag tools such as QualityScaler and FluidFrames.
📥 Download Installer
This installer was built using PyInstaller and Inno Setup.
By default, it includes DirectML support to ensure maximum compatibility with any graphics card (NVIDIA/AMD/INTEL).

✨ What is New in v5.0
The v5.0 release represents a foundational transformation of the application:
- 🧩 Modular Architecture: The core has been re-engineered into specialized components (
core,preferences,console,drag_drop) for superior stability and fault isolation. - 🧠 NEO Engine: A new diagnostic subsystem that scans CPU topology, RAM, and GPU VRAM to automatically recommend optimal tiling and thread settings.
- 🖥️ Integrated Debug Console: A real-time GUI terminal that intercepts
stdoutandstderrwith syntax highlighting, allowing users to diagnose FFmpeg or ONNX issues instantly. - ⚡ Native CUDA & Failover: The backend now strictly prioritizes CUDA (NVIDIA Optimized) > DirectML > CPU, with corrected integer typing for device IDs.
- 💎 Lossless Pipeline: Deprecated

✨ Key Features
- AI Upscaling & Restoration – Utilize Real-ESRGAN, BSRGAN, RealESRNet, RealESR_Animex4, and IRCNN models for denoising, super-resolution, and detail recovery.
- Face Restoration (GFPGAN) – Recover facial details from low-resolution or blurry images and video frames.
- Frame Interpolation (RIFE) – Smooth motion or generate slow-motion content with 2×, 4×, or 8× interpolation.
- Advanced Hardware Acceleration – Intelligent provider selection prioritizes CUDA, falls back to DirectML, and finally CPU for maximum compatibility.
- Batch Processing – Process multiple media files simultaneously, saving time and effort.
- Custom Workflows – Fine-grained control over models, resolution, output formats, and quality parameters.
- Open-Source & Extensible – Fully MIT licensed, for contributors and developers.
