Upscayl
Free and Open Source AI Image Upscaler for Linux, MacOS and Windows
Free and Open Source AI Image Upscaler for Linux, MacOS and Windows built with Linux-First philosophy. Upscayl is a cross-platform application built with the Linux-first philosophy. This means that we prioritize Linux builds over others but that doesn't mean we'll break things for other OSes. Upscayl does not work without a GPU, sorry. You'll need a Vulkan-compatible GPU to upscale images. CPU or iGPU won't work. You can also download the flatpak version and double-click the flatpak file to install via Store but wait for the full release, we'll be pushing it to Flathub for easy access. Upscayl uses AI models to enhance your images by guessing what the details could be. It uses Real-ESRGAN (and more in the future) model to achieve this. The CLI tool is called real-esrgan-ncnn-vulkan and it's available on the Real-ESRGAN repository. -

Graphite
An open source graphics editor for 2025
Graphite is a modern, open-source, prototyping and design tool built for vector graphics, motion, and state-driven UIs. It combines traditional vector drawing capabilities with features like animation timelines, state machines, and interactive prototyping—all in one toolchain rather than separate apps. The interface supports layering, boolean operations, masks, and full node-based parametric controls for shapes and effects. Because it’s built to be extendable, plugin support allows importing/exporting formats, custom tools, or integrations with code frameworks. It also focuses on performance and scalability—handling complex vector scenes with many nested elements fluidly. For designers and developers looking to prototype UI transitions, interactive states, and motion-driven interfaces without separate design/code handoffs, Graphite positions itself as an all-in-one creative engine. -
