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. -

GIMP ML
AI for GNU Image Manipulation Program
This repository introduces GIMP3-ML, a set of Python plugins for the widely popular GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). It enables the use of recent advances in computer vision to the conventional image editing pipeline. Applications from deep learning such as monocular depth estimation, semantic segmentation, mask generative adversarial networks, image super-resolution, de-noising and coloring have been incorporated with GIMP through Python-based plugins. Additionally, operations on images such as edge detection and color clustering have also been added. GIMP-ML relies on standard Python packages such as numpy, scikit-image, pillow, pytorch, open-cv, scipy. In addition, GIMP-ML also aims to bring the benefits of using deep learning networks used for computer vision tasks to routine image processing workflows. -

RestorePhotos.io
Restoring old and blurry face photos with AI
RestorePhotos.io is an AI web app for restoring old, blurry, or low-quality face photos and bringing them back to life. It wraps the GFPGAN model (served via Replicate) behind a friendly Next.js front end, so non-technical users can upload an image and receive an enhanced version without ever touching ML code. The workflow is straightforward: you upload a photo, the serverless API route sends it to Replicate, and the restored image is returned and displayed in the UI. The project is production-oriented, not just a toy: it uses Bytescale for storage and image processing, Vercel for hosting and serverless functions, Auth.js + Neon for authentication and database, and Upstash Redis for rate limiting. This combination makes it a good blueprint for building real-world AI apps that must deal with authentication, quotas, and storage as well as inference. -

Simple xbm Image Editor
XBM images are displayed in actual size and in an enlarged edit grid.
The Simple xbm Image Editor presents a Tkinter GUI and has the following functions: - Create new .xbm image files and update existing files - Images are displayed in actual size and in an enlarged grid suitable for editing - Toggle the bits of the image edit grid to foreground/background with mouse clicks - Increase or decrease the width and/or height of an image - Rotate an image - Shift an image up, down, left or right - Change the colors in which an image is displayed, although colors are not stored in .xbm files. Background and foreground color selection is provided in order to experiment with colors for your application. The editor can display very large .xbm files in their actual size but the maximum bitmap size that can be edited is 2500 pixels. This limit is arbitrary and can easily be changed, but bitmap edit grid loading and, in particular, garbage collection become quite slow if the limit is a lot more than 2500 pixels. The gridMax constant sets max size. -

Bambi Editor
Have fun with images!
DISCLAIMER: I don't maintain my Sourceforge account anmymore. Bambi as all my other projects live @ https://github.com/mrazjava BambiEditor is a user friendly desktop image manipulation tool capable of easy and fast filter transformations and no-nonse printing. BambiEditor is also a web authoring tool for developers to allow their end users to upload images scaled exactly to specific web requirements. Simply deploy Bambi as Java Web Start, replace the default FilesystemImageExporter plugin with one of web upload plugins and you're good to go! It offers cam support by integrating native libs from OpenIMAJ, so it still runs on all platforms. Bambi's roots date back to 2010 when I wrote a customized applet image uploader for a friend of mine. Since then I've added so many enhancements it grew to a stand alone app that you see today ... -
