Docker Hub GHCR CI License Stars Discord

![SnapOtter - Dashboard](images/dashboard.png) ## Key Features - **49 image tools** - Resize, crop, compress, convert, watermark, color adjust, vectorize, create GIFs, find duplicates, generate passport photos, and more - **Local AI** - Remove backgrounds, upscale images, restore and colorize old photos, erase objects, blur faces, enhance faces, extract text (OCR). All on your hardware - no internet required - **Pipelines** - Chain tools into reusable workflows with unlimited steps. Batch process unlimited images at once - **REST API** - Every tool available via API with API key auth. Interactive docs at `/api/docs` - **Single container** - One `docker run`, no Redis, no Postgres, no external services - **Multi-arch** - Runs on AMD64 and ARM64 (Intel, Apple Silicon, Raspberry Pi) - **Privacy first** - Your images never leave your machine. SnapOtter asks once whether you'd like to share anonymous product analytics (which tools are used, errors encountered — never file data). Change anytime in Settings, or set `ANALYTICS_ENABLED=false` to disable completely ## Quick Start ```bash docker run -d --name snapotter -p 1349:1349 -v snapotter-data:/data snapotter/snapotter:latest ```

Add `--gpus all` for GPU-accelerated background removal, upscaling, and OCR: ```bash docker run -d --name snapotter -p 1349:1349 --gpus all -v snapotter-data:/data snapotter/snapotter:latest ``` > Requires an NVIDIA GPU and [Container Toolkit](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html). Falls back to CPU if no GPU is found. See [Docker Tags](https://docs.snapotter.com/guide/docker-tags) for benchmarks and Docker Compose examples.
