SnapOtter 7db6bb97da docs: add per-tool API documentation and fix parity gaps
- Create 53 per-tool VitePress documentation pages with accurate
  parameters from Zod schemas, example requests, and response formats
- Add root llms.txt for LLM-friendly repo browsing
- Fix OpenAPI spec: add auth and 422 error schemas to
  edit-metadata/inspect and strip-metadata/inspect sub-routes
- Fix tool count inconsistency (52 -> 53) across landing site,
  e2e tests, and local docs
- Rename color-adjustments.ts to adjust-colors.ts to match tool ID
- Update VitePress sidebar with all 8 tool categories and top nav

Image Upscaling

AI super-resolution enhancement using Real-ESRGAN. Upscales images 2x-4x while preserving detail.

API Endpoint

POST /api/v1/tools/upscale

Processing: Asynchronous (returns 202, poll /api/v1/jobs/{jobId}/progress for status via SSE)

Model bundle: upscale-enhance (4-5 GB)

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Default Description
file file Yes - Image file (multipart)
scale number No 2 Upscale factor (e.g., 2, 3, 4)
model string No "auto" Model to use (e.g., auto, specific model names)
faceEnhance boolean No false Apply face enhancement during upscaling
denoise number No 0 Denoising strength (0 = off)
format string No "auto" Output format: auto, png, jpg, webp, tiff, gif, avif, heic, heif, jxl
quality number No 95 Output quality (1-100)

Example Request

curl -X POST http://localhost:13490/api/v1/tools/upscale \
  -F "file=@photo.jpg" \
  -F 'settings={"scale":4,"model":"auto","faceEnhance":true,"format":"png"}'

}

Notes

  • Requires the upscale-enhance model bundle to be installed (4-5 GB).
  • Uses Real-ESRGAN when available; falls back to Lanczos interpolation if the AI model is unavailable.
  • The faceEnhance option applies GFPGAN face restoration during upscaling for better face quality.
  • For non-browser-previewable output formats (HEIC, JXL, TIFF), a WebP preview is generated alongside the main output.
  • Supports HEIC/HEIF, RAW, TGA, PSD, EXR, and HDR input formats via automatic decoding.
