TinyPixy
Compress, remove backgrounds, and upscale with AI — switch between them in a tab. Everything runs on your Mac. No upload required.
Quality slider, presets, and optional resize. Pick the right format for the web or for archiving — TinyPixy uses the best encoder for each.
Apple Vision finds the subject; the mask is applied as alpha. The default Lossless mode keeps your foreground RGB bit-for-bit identical; an optional Clean Edges mode uses on-device AI to remove edge halos. Export the mask separately too.
Real-ESRGAN runs on the Apple Neural Engine — no cloud, no Python. Auto-tiling handles big images without melting your RAM.
One app for the three things you actually do to images — built native, kept private, sold once.
Real-ESRGAN Core ML models run on the Neural Engine. Sharpen and enlarge photos and art 2× or 4× — entirely offline, no subscription, no Python runtime.
Background removal that never resamples your foreground. The mask is layered as alpha — RGB survives byte-for-byte. Verifiable, not just claimed.
WebP, JPEG, PNG, HEIC, AVIF — each routed through the encoder that does it best. Presets for the web, sliders for control, batch for everything at once.
Every operation runs on your Mac. Images never leave the machine — the only network traffic is a one-time license check and update polling.
Built in SwiftUI for Apple Silicon and Intel. No Electron, no bundled Python — just a small, fast Mac app that respects your battery.
Buy once and unlock compress, cutout, and upscale together. No per-tool upsell, no monthly bill, no per-image credits.
The headline feature: Real-ESRGAN super-resolution running locally on the Apple Neural Engine — pick the model that fits your image.
