If you have fucked up images/media with excessive compression, watermarks, strange croppings, small sizes, corruption, edits, or are just fucked up in some way, Fix It.
There's some other interesting tools in here you might find useful.

ImgOps
A meta-tool for submitting an image to numerous search engines and tools simultaneously. Either upload locally or provide a URL and click on the website of your choice. For normal images, use Google, Tineye, Bing, or Yandex as primary choices. Yandex has consistently been the most reliable.
Anime images can be searched with SauceNao, Iqdb, or ASCII2D.
Use Trace.moe for determining anime series, rather than artists.
l33t h4x0rz can use
Multiple Exif Tools to extract meta information from images, such as GPS coordinates, camera information, dates, and much more.

Original Image (Strange coloring, compression, and a watermark):

Searched Result (Higher resolution, no watermark, low compression):
Cap.jpg



Waifu2x
AI Upscaling program that allows you both de-noise and upscale both artwork and real life photos. Make sure to perform a search query with ImgOps first to find original copies before jumping to Waifu2x as upscaled/de-noised images will not have original levels of quality and may suffer from a "smear" effect depending on how crappy the original image was/how aggressively it was upscaled.
Use de-noising only if the image has obvious compression. It may be preferable to upscale an image twice using medium settings instead of once at the highest setting and then a second time without any if you are shooting for the largest size. Experiment!

Gifanimaker
A Japanese website where you can upload still images and create gifs out of them with special effects of your choosing. Examples provided below:
The website requires a modern browser to work, and will hang without advanced Javascript features. Enable WebAssembly, BaselineJit, NativeRegexp, Ion, and AssemblyJS for it to function properly.

DeepFakes
This guy knows what he's doing. I have no experience with these, and cannot provide any advice related to it.
