## Description

This project is a PyTorch implementation of AnimeGANv2, a generative adversarial network and image-to-image translation model designed to transform real-world photographs into stylized anime imagery.

The repository includes a model weight converter that enables the translation of checkpoints across different runtime environments. This utility performs weight key remapping and tensor dimension permutation to ensure compatibility between framework implementations.

The system supports AI photo stylization through pre-trained weight loading and provides configurable upsampling alignment to maintain visual coherence during image resolution increases.
