Steam
Humble Bundle (Extra 10%-20% off with Humble Choice)

Lossless Scaling allows you to scale windowed games to full screen using the state-of-the-art scaling algorithms, as well as use ML based proprietary scaling and frame generation.

Frame generation options:

  • LSFG

Scaling options:

  • LS1
  • AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution
  • NVIDIA Image Scaling
  • Integer Scaling
  • Nearest Neighbor
  • xBR
  • Anime4K
  • Sharp Bilinear
  • Bicubic CAS

The latest feature allows you to use Lossless Scaling to generate additional frames in games that do not have such support, including emulators.

Lossless Scaling is also useful for upscaling modern games if you cannot run them at native screen resolution (GPU limited) and want to get rid of blur due to bilinear scaling of the GPU driver, as well as for upscaling older and pixel-art games which do not support modern screen resolutions or full screen mode.

For modern games it is best to use LS1 or AMD FSR. For scaling pixel-art games, use Integer Scaling or xBR. Anime4K is best suited for cartoons or anime.

Requirements:
Scaling makes sense when you are limited by GPU power. For the best experience, limit the game to a stable frame rate so that Lossless Scaling has resources to work with.

  • The game must be running in windowed mode
  • Windows 10 1903 or newer

    Download more frames became real with this. Buy this software, it’s magic.

      Yeah I've read that it's amazing. The only trade off being some occasional bit easily ignored artifacting?

  • spirrowhack on 28/06/2025 - 05:55

    I mostly use this to upscale 1080p video and add frames. The latest version is struggling less with moving patterns like chequerboard.

    Can even use it on YouTube.

      Does the frame generation part work well for video? I find 24fps video quite choppy for some reason, so have looked at various interpolation options but none have been great.

      • evilphill on 28/06/2025 - 12:23

        It works really well, I've had it take videos with very noticeable judder and make them silky smooth. Works wonders on ancient digital home videos.

    For those on a $0 budget and aren't specifically after frame gen, there's 'Magpie' which can be found on GitHub https://github.com/Blinue/Magpie.

    Has many similar features to Lossless Scaling but not quite as easy to use.

    Using this can play helldivers 2 locked at 80fps on 1440p ultra wide with no upscaling on a mobile 4060 gpu. Genuinely changed my mind on the whole fake frames thing.

      No idea how you don't notice the input latency with a game like that unless you're incredibly casual..

        1,116h Helldivers 2 player here and a lot of that using lossless scaling. Helldivers 2 isn't really a twitch shooter, most weapons and movement in the game are significantly slowed by a handling rating. You're fine down to around high 40s source frames with lossless scaling, especially if you've got ways to get back some of the latency in drivers.

        It's honestly not bad enough that you notice/can't adapt. Perk of laptop is you can run lossless scaling on the igpu while rendering on the dgpu which reduces input lag slightly too

    • frewer on 28/06/2025 - 14:00

      Democracy can NOT wait, your frame rate can. Move it apes !

  • iLikePizza on 28/06/2025 - 09:25

    This thing is magic, made playing expedition 33 more enjoyable

  • HappyXD on 28/06/2025 - 10:32

    probably a dumb question but is this still useful if you have a 3080? is this meant to be better than dlss? or works alongside dlss?

    • stimutacs on 28/06/2025 - 10:36

      Wouldn't recommend using it in anything that supports DLSS natively, or anything you can con into using Optiscaler or DLSS DLL replacement. It's mainly useful for stuff that doesn't support any scaling or any framegen of any kind, or only has bad scaling options inbuilt (eg Helldivers 2). So - stuff like emulators, games where the internal logic/physics freak out if they're run at uncapped framerates above 30 or 60fps, games where your monitor refresh rate isn't a good multiple of a VRR stable internal framerate for framegen, etc.

  • jayk87 on 28/06/2025 - 11:28

    Does this work well, or at all, on a Steamdeck or another handheld device like that?

    • evilphill on 28/06/2025 - 12:37

      This is windows only so it won't work on the steamdeck im afraid.

    bought it on humble since it also includes a drm free copy, plus a steam key.
