- [Tesseract OCR](https://hebbmind.com/cli/tesseract.md): [CLI] Classic open-source OCR engine and CLI that reads text from images and outputs plain text, hOCR, searchable PDF or TSV. Supports 100+ languages; install the language data for each language you need.
- [VTracer](https://hebbmind.com/cli/vtracer.md): [CLI] Converts raster images like JPG and PNG to SVG, handling color tracing, black-and-white line art and unevenly lit scans, for vectorizing logos, illustrations and old drawings. The CLI is a 1.0 preview installed with cargo (needs Rust); a desktop app is also available.
- [PySceneDetect](https://hebbmind.com/cli/pyscenedetect.md): [CLI] Detects shot changes in video and splits long footage into scenes, exporting cut lists and per-scene thumbnails, useful for shot analysis, organizing footage and finding edit points. Runs locally; needs Python 3.10+, plus FFmpeg or mkvmerge for splitting.
- [ExifTool](https://hebbmind.com/cli/exiftool.md): [CLI] Classic CLI for reading and writing metadata in hundreds of file types including images, video, audio and PDF, covering EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP and camera makers' proprietary tags, with batch editing, stripping and conversion. Requires Perl.
- [MFLUX](https://hebbmind.com/cli/mflux.md): [CLI] Runs open image models like FLUX, Qwen Image and Z-Image locally on a Mac: text-to-image, reference-based edits, inpainting and upscaling, all on-device. Needs Apple Silicon and uv; the first run downloads models and is slow. Check each model's license before commercial use.
