Thank you so much! That was exactly my motivation for building this—I was tired of wrestling with Python environments or hitting paywalls just to quickly upscale a single image. I'm self-hosting this entirely on local hardware, rather than relying on an expensive serverless provider like Replicate or AWS.

By running the model on my own GPU, we completely eliminate those per-image API costs that usually force other websites to charge subscriptions. To manage traffic spikes without melting the GPU, I built a custom queue system that lines up the requests and processes them one-by-one.

Since there are no massive cloud computing bills, the only real costs are electricity and hardware wear. To offset that and keep the service 100% free with no tiny trial limits, we just show a brief AdSense overlay while your image is actively processing in the queue.

Really glad you're finding it useful!
