About tint
tint is a command-line program that recolors JPEG and PNG images using theme palettes such as Catppuccin, Nord, and Gruvbox. Users provide an input image and a theme flavor, and can adjust luminosity, interpolation settings, and the output file path.
It is distributed as a self-contained Go binary with installation options for Arch Linux, Nix, Void Linux, and via Go. Input is limited to JPEG and PNG, and processing large images can use significant memory.
