About Chai Nner
chaiNNer is a node-based image processing application for building custom processing workflows. It started as a tool for AI upscaling and now also handles other image processing tasks through connected nodes in a visual editor.
You can add nodes from a selection panel by dragging and dropping, then connect color-coded handles to define a pipeline. You can run AI upscaling after installing a framework such as PyTorch, NCNN, ONNX, or TensorRT from the Dependency Manager. You can also batch process a folder of images with the Load Images node and process video with the Load Video node. Installation is done from the GitHub releases page, and the app downloads an isolated Python build on startup.
chaiNNer runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It suits users who prefer visual workflow building for image tasks, and contributors familiar with TypeScript, React, or Python who want to work on an open source project.
