Magpie is an open-source real-time upscaling software that can upscale any application or game window. It offers Visual Novel specific presets and allows users to customize their own stack of presets.

The software uses the CAS filter from FSR, providing higher contrast and sharpness. ACNet is used for anime type art, resulting in clean lines but some detail loss.
