Here are some tools to enhance the images that will go into your dataset.
Upscaler [02/09/2025]
Upscale + detailer (FLUX/ANIME) - Web (Creditos)
This tool, although limited by credit, is the best tool I have found to enhance an image, without having to use stabble diffusion:
It's recommended to use a previous scale first
Not so recommended for Cartoons
Remove some details if they are not very visible
semi-transparent clothing patterns, accessories, etc.
when the image zooms in or focuses on these details, it does not erase them, but may alter them slightly.
SFW oriented
Fix the eyes (Female oriented)
Make colour more subdued or vivid depending on the base skin colour
Changes the expression slightly to happy
It's better to use their mini application that charges you less points.
If you don't want the ‘style’ to change too much then it's better to ‘erase the face’ and use in your dataset:
alternate_style, faceless, alternate_color

Upscayl
Art (Digital/Real/Details/Buildings/Landscapes) - (PC)
It's a very versatile application that allows you to select the type of art/image you want to use.
Introductory video
Select languages
Change the type of artwork
Scale multiple images (Batch)
Double scaling
Allow to add more models (Read the github)
I recommend to use it before the tensor upscaler above.
I recommend using it on the face or on a garment; it is less recommended for the entire body unless there are few details.

Imgupscaler [02/09/2025]
This app is also good, although a little limited.

Unwatermark
This surprised me. It understands japanese/english text, so it's also good for cleaning manga.
It's limited in the automatic version,
He manual version also works, but it is more tedious.
No login required.
