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. -

watermarks-remover
Strip multi-vendor AI provenance marks
Watermarks Remover is an agent skill and Python service for removing AI provenance marks from text and files that users own. It cleans invisible Unicode characters, exotic spaces, bidirectional controls, and other hidden text artifacts through deterministic processing. Statistical text watermarks can be addressed through agent rewriting and an optional rewrite hook. The service also strips provenance and metadata such as C2PA, EXIF, XMP, and document properties from many media and document formats. Its agent skill acts as a thin HTTP client, allowing the processing service to run separately without requiring Python inside the agent host. The project supports local operation, optional Docker infrastructure, Cursor integration, and a standard-library Python server. -

SVGO
Node.js tool for optimizing SVG files
SVG Optimizer is a Node.js-based tool for optimizing SVG vector graphics files. SVG files, in particular those exported from multiple editors, normally contain tons of redundant and useless information. This can include editor metadata, comments, hidden elements, default or non-optimal values and other stuff that can be safely removed or converted without affecting the SVG rendering result. Some options can be configured with CLI though it may be easier to have the configuration in a separate file. SVGO has a plugin-based architecture, so almost every optimization is a separate plugin.
