Lada is a tool designed to recover pixelated adult videos (JAV). It helps restore the visual quality of such content, making it more enjoyable to watch:
- Recover Pixelated Videos: Restore pixelated or mosaic scenes in adult videos.
- Watch/Export Videos: Use either the CLI or GUI to watch or export your restored videos.
The process is pretty resource-intensive and will not run on all hardware. It is required that you install one Lada's Flatpak Add-Ons / Extensions compatible with your GPU.
You can find more information about which GPUs are supported on the project website hosted on Codeberg.

0.11.09 Feb 2026
Breaking change: If you're upgrading from a previous version you now have to install one of Lada's Flatpak Add-On matching your GPU (Nvidia or Intel) as the main Flatpak doesn't contain Nvidia-specific libraries anymore.
Features / Improvements:
- CLI+GUI: Add support for Intel QSV (Quick Sync Video) hardware-encoding
- CLI+GUI: Add support for Intel Arc GPUs. Intel Arc-compatible packages of Lada are available for Windows (Standalone) and Flatpak (Install Intel Add-On)
- GUI: Add subtitle support. Open .srt file via button or drag-and-drop. If a .srt file exists with same file name as video file then it will be opened automatically
- CLI+GUI: Improve processing of corrupt video files. Duplicate previous frame if current frame cannot be decoded (only up to 10 frames, if more frames cannot be read we continue to error out and exit)
- GUI: Show playback controls and header bar as an overlay when in Watch view
- CLI+GUI: Add new translation: Korean
- GUI: Simplified installation from source on Windows by providing pre-compiled GUI dependencies
Fixes:
- CLI+GUI: Fix deadlock when attempting to restore certain kinds of broken video files
- GUI: Fix opening .wmv files containing WMA audio streams in GUI Watch mode on Windows
- GUI: Fix incomplete translations of About dialog on Windows
- CLI: Suppress printing verbose logging when using SVT AV1 encoder
0.10.110 Jan 2026
Features / Improvements:
- CLI+GUI: Add French translations
- CLI: Print listings more space efficiently
- CLI+GUI: Include legacy v2 mosaic detection model again in releases
Fixes:
- CLI+GUI: Fix performance regression on Nvidia 50-series GPUs if FP16 is enabled
- CLI+GUI: Ensure to stop restoration pipeline and show error if any of the workers crashed
- GUI: Fix occasional freeze or spinner getting stuck when opening another file
- GUI: Ensure to only decode audio streams in gstreamer audio pipeline (Watch mode) to avoid potential issue by unhandled video- or metadata
- GUI: Fix short freeze of Spinner while opening another file
- CLI: Fix --list-encoding-presets not showing translated preset descriptions
- CLI: Fix table alignment of listings when using CJK languages if mixed with Latin letters
0.10.01 Jan 2026
Features / Improvements:
- CLI: Add encoding presets. There are options available for selecting and listing presets. Alternatively, you can specify encoder and encoder options if the provided presets don't cover your use case
- GUI: Add encoding presets. View and select presets via Sidebar. If the provided presets don't cover your use case you can create custom presets
- CLI+GUI: Add new v4 mosaic detection models. Default model: v4-fast
- CLI+GUI: Reduce VRAM usage of restoration pipeline
- CLI+GUI: Add option to enable detect and ignore SFW face mosaics. Experimental
- GUI: Add option to toggle .mp4 Fast Start. If enabled a Preview button will be shown while export is running allowing watching the temporary file while it's being written
- CLI: Rename --moov-front to --mp4-fast-start
- CLI: Add option to set temporary directory
- CLI: Ensure to draw 100% completed progressbar after restoration of files with incorrect frame count metadata
- CLI: Update progress bar width and redraw if window got resized
- CLI: Remove --mosaic-detection-model-path and add --mosaic-detection-model which accepts either a name or a path
- CLI: Remove --mosaic-restoration-model and --mosaic-restoration-model-path and add --mosaic-restoration-model which accepts either a name or a path
- CLI+GUI: Added short descriptions for mosaic detection and restoration models (was previously documented only in README)
Fixes:
- GUI: Fix FP16 Setting Changes Not Take Effect Immediately Without Restart
- GUI: Fix occasional freeze when closing
- GUI: Fix occasional long wait times in GUI Watch mode when opening or seeking a file
- GUI: Don't stretch color scheme and initial view buttons in sidebar
- CLI+GUI: Fix parsing of encoder options if they contain "=" like "-x264opts deblock=-3,-3"
- GUI: Fix playback sometimes not being started after changing active file
- GUI: Fix Cancel export button not cancelling export if currently paused
- GUI: Fix Audio sometimes getting muted when switching/opening new files
0.9.18 Dec 2025
Features:
- GUI: Add toggle to enable/disable FP16 precision (was only available via CLI previously). On some hardware FP16 can be slower so you might to disable it.
- GUI: Keep progress bar visible in single file export view after export job completed as is done in multi-file view
- CLI+GUI: Enable multithreaded video decoding for potentially higher processing speed
Fixes:
- CLI+GUI: Fix high-CPU load on certain system. This change should bring CPU back to pre v0.9.0 levels while keeping the speed increase.
- GUI: Fix Seek Preview still showing frames of old file after new file was selected
- GUI: Fix crash on Windows on systems were CUDA SDK was installed system-wide
