个人使用免费；商业使用需要在 Patreon 上购买 Premium 版本。

它也能在 Mac 或 Linux 上运行吗？

不能，目前只提供 Windows x64 版本，没有提到 macOS 或 Linux 版本。

它内置了哪些放大引擎？

它打包了多种引擎，包括 Waifu2x、Real-ESRGAN、Real-CUGAN、RTX Video Super Resolution、SRMD、RealSR 和 Anime4K，你可以根据动漫或真实照片/视频选择最合适的引擎。

它能解决视频播放卡顿的问题，而不只是提高分辨率吗？

可以，它内置了 RIFE、IFRNet、CAIN 和 DAIN 等插帧引擎，可以在放大之后生成额外的帧，使动作更流畅。

尽管名字里有 waifu2x，它是不是只能处理动漫图片？

不是，它也可以处理日常的真实照片和视频，同时支持 2D 动漫内容。
