24 alternatives to Enlarger
Hey everyone! I know there are gazillion alternatives out there especially with AI and all, but this nevertheless is my take on it. I created it because I was frustrated with the options I was seeing in the market. Too heavy, too complex, UX was meh, the output created was not resonating with my style of photography, they are generally glitchy or hallucinate too much, and I dislike subscription fees or credits personally. I prefer BIFL licenses and desktop apps. Since most will probably compare it to the free and open source Upscayl, I went ahead and did a comparison post on the visual…

Hey HN, My wife is a designer, and one day she asked me if there was a tool to enhance images and improve their quality. I recommended a few to her, but she found that the suitable ones were too expensive, and the more affordable options didn't offer enough magnification, most only going up to 2x or 4x. So, I thought, why not create a tool that meets her needs, one that can greatly enhance image resolution and clarity while being very affordable to use? After over a month of effort, I finally completed this tool. It can now enlarge images up to 10 times, with a maximum support of 12,000…

This is a personal project I've been working on for a long time now. I stumbled upon the color quantization problem while doing something related for work. I then found an interesting paper for which I could find no implementations online, and the thing went from "let's implement this paper" to getting pretty obsessed with the whole thing. It's at an early, eaaaarly stage. There's a lot of work to be done, and it's a memory hog, but generally speaking works quite well, and the output is for the most part very high quality, so I'm happy to share it as beta.

Hi everyone, I built ImgExtender because I kept running into the same daily frustrations when working with images — AI-generated pictures not fitting the correct aspect ratio, blurry screenshots, compressed images losing too much detail, background edits taking too long, and having to jump across 4–5 different tools for what should have been simple tasks. So I decided to create a single lightweight web tool that solves the most common image problems without requiring Photoshop skills, plugins, or GPU setup. https://imgextender.com/ Below is a quick introduction to the problem,…

I had 14,000 photos sitting on a drive and wanted an excuse to play with local vision models and Elixir/Phoenix. I originally tried to get LLaVA to tell me if a photo was 'good' or matched my style, but quickly learned that LLMs have terrible taste. I ended up demoting the LLM to just extract metadata, and built a custom CLIP/Ridge Regression pipeline to actually learn my preferences based on how I rate things. The stack is Phoenix/Oban on the orchestrator side, and Python/FastAPI/Instructor for the AI workers. Happy to answer any questions about the architecture,…
