> **SnapOtter v2.0.0** is the current monorepo version, with 200+ tools across image, video, audio, PDF, and files. For published image channels and GPU variants, see the Docker Tags guide.
Stirling-PDF stops at PDFs. ConvertX stops at conversions. SnapOtter runs all five, and your files never leave your server. Edit images, convert video, transcribe audio, repair PDFs, batch your files: one Docker stack, on hardware you own.
- **Image (105):** resize, crop, compress, convert, watermark, color adjust, beautify screenshots, generate memes, vectorize, GIF tools, find duplicates, passport photos, plus dedicated format converters (JPG to PNG, HEIC to JPG, WebP to PNG, image to PDF, and more). Supports 55+ input formats (including 23 camera RAW formats) and 14 output formats
- **Video (57):** convert, compress, trim, resize, crop, merge, video-to-GIF, extract audio, stabilize, change FPS, burn/extract subtitles, plus dedicated converters (MOV to MP4, MKV to MP4, MP4 to MP3, and more)
- **Audio (27):** convert, trim, normalize, volume, fade, pitch shift, silence removal, noise reduction, merge/split, waveform, plus dedicated converters (M4A to MP3, AAC to MP3, OGG to WAV, and more)
- **Image editor:** Layer-based editor with brushes, shapes, adjustments, filters, curves, and keyboard shortcuts. Runs in your browser, processes on your hardware
- **Local AI:** Remove backgrounds, upscale images, restore and colorize old photos, erase objects, blur faces, enhance faces, extract text (OCR from images and PDFs), transcribe audio, auto-generate video subtitles, expand canvas, and fix transparency. All on your hardware, no internet required
- **Self-hosted:** one `docker run` for a single-container quick start (embedded Postgres 17 + Redis 8), or the same Postgres 17 + Redis 8 as a Compose stack for production. No external SaaS dependencies
- **Privacy first:** Your files never leave your network. Basic analytics help us catch bugs and improve tools -- disable anytime by rebuilding with `SNAPOTTER_ANALYTICS=off` ([Here's how to do it](https://docs.snapotter.com/guide/deployment.html#analytics))
The [Quick Start](#quick-start) one-liner above is all most people need. For production, run the 3-container Compose stack (app + Postgres 17 + Redis 8). Save this as `compose.yaml`:
Use the GPU Compose file for NVIDIA CUDA-accelerated background removal, upscaling, transcription, and OCR. Intel/AMD iGPU acceleration through VA-API, Quick Sync, or OpenCL is not supported for AI inference today; those systems run AI tools on CPU. See [Docker Tags](https://docs.snapotter.com/guide/docker-tags) for the GPU Compose example and benchmarks.
For Docker Compose, persistent storage, and other setup options, see the [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.snapotter.com/guide/getting-started). For NVIDIA CUDA acceleration and tag details, see [Docker Tags](https://docs.snapotter.com/guide/docker-tags).
