Generation studio, upscaler, background remover, or photo library — match the tool to the task.
Desktop apps, Docker images, and portable builds cover most platforms; pick the simplest for your OS.
Generation tools need checkpoint files; utilities like upscalers usually bundle everything.
Generate, enhance, or import — then export, share, or keep building your library.
Run whole folders through upscalers and converters unattended.
Extensions, scripts, and community presets extend the popular studios far beyond stock.
Self-hosted managers with AI tagging, face recognition, and deduplication.
Single-job tools (upscale, de-background, restore) that do one thing excellently.
Bring any compatible open checkpoint; you are never locked to one vendor's style.
Your images stay on your machine — important for client work and privacy.

GPL-3.0 — free to use, but derivative works must stay open.
Mostly yes under MIT/Apache/GPL — but verify each license, especially for client deliverables.
Generation benefits hugely from one; upscalers and photo managers are far lighter.
For generation: a polished studio interface. For enhancement: a dedicated upscaler. For libraries: a photo manager.
