RapidRAW is a lightweight RAW editor for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, using a GPU-accelerated 32-bit processing pipeline for responsive, non-destructive adjustments. It includes layer masks, subject and sky detection, and optional generative edits through an AI backend. For high-resolution RAW files and complex masking, the project recommends at least 16 GB of memory and a reasonably modern dedicated GPU.

AI Runner combines an offline conversational companion with configurable personality, voice, and memory, plus a layered canvas for generating and editing images. It can also run headlessly and expose local LLM, image, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech functions over HTTP. Docker is the recommended setup, while manual installation requires Python 3.13 and a substantial set of system dependencies.

HiPixel is a native macOS image upscaling app built around Upscayl models. Users can drag in images for automatic processing, run batches, watch folders for new files, or trigger jobs through Apple Shortcuts and a URL scheme. It includes models for photos, lower-resource processing, detail preservation, and digital art, and it can load compatible custom models. macOS 13 or later is required.

Quick Picture Viewer is a lightweight Windows image viewer that opens common formats along with files such as WebP, SVG, DDS, PSD, and CR2. Users can rotate, flip, crop, convert, run slideshows, use picture-in-picture mode, print images, or export them to PDF. Plugin support adds extra effects and tools, while the Windows-only scope makes it primarily an alternative to the default photo viewer.
