Does this site show ads?
No ad network is configured and no sponsored content is published. If display ads are ever added, they will sit in clearly labelled slots outside the install box, the steps and the tables, and this page will name the network and the cookies it sets.
How are download links chosen?
Every download link points to Upscayl's own GitHub release, its website or a package manager that installs the same files: winget, Homebrew or Flathub. The download page lists them with file sizes and hashes. We earn nothing from any of these links.
