Arkwaifu 2x

Arkwaifu 2x is a CLI tool for Arkwaifu. It supports the following features:

1. Enlarge the Arts with real-esrgan(realesrgan-x4plus).
2. Enlarge the Arts with real-esrgan(realesrgan-x4plus-anime).
3. Re-generate thumbnails for all arts.

This tool is created because the backend of Arkwaifu cannot handle hard works, like enlarging the arts with neutral networks. So Arkwaifu 2x takes the tasks in local, reducing pressure of the backend.

Usage

Prerequisites:

• Windows 10 or above
• Python: ^3.11
• A USER_TOKEN to grant permission, see below

This tool is intended to run on Windows. However, it is possible to support other OS like macOS or Linux. I did not do that because I do not have these environments to test this tool. If you wish to run this tool on other OS, feel free to open a issue to tell me, and I will try my best to support these OS.

In order to install this tool, run

py -m pip install arkwaifu-2x

In order to run this tool, set the USER_TOKEN first

$env:USER_TOKEN="<YOUR USER_TOKEN> # PowerShell
SET USER_TOKEN=<YOUR USER_TOKEN> # CMD

Then, you can run the tool

arkwaifu-2x

What is USER_TOKEN?

USER_TOKEN is a token for trusted users to grant permission when they are submitting something to the website. I designed this because I do not want everyone to be able to submit to the website, and that may cause security issues. If you want to get a USER_TOKEN, just open a issue for that. I will be happy to allocate a USER_TOKEN for you. :)
