Write videos in HTML, CSS and frame-seekable animations, preview them from the CLI and render deterministic MP4s. Comes with agent skills for product launch videos, captions and talking-head re-edits. Maintained by HeyGen; needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg.

Translates full PDF papers while preserving formulas, charts and layout (command pdf2zh), outputting monolingual and side-by-side bilingual PDFs. Uses Google Translate by default and can switch to DeepL, OpenAI and others; also runs as an MCP server.

Google Labs' DESIGN.md format and CLI: designers capture colors, typography and spacing in a file for agents; lint checks broken references and WCAG contrast, diff compares versions and export outputs design tokens for Tailwind and more. Needs Node.js; the format is in alpha.

Removes image backgrounds with one command: single images, whole folders or watched directories, mask-only output and switchable models like U2Net and SAM. Can also run as an HTTP server or process video frames with FFmpeg. Default models run locally.

SVG optimizer CLI and Node.js library: shrinks SVGs by removing editor metadata, comments, hidden elements and redundant attributes, processes whole directories recursively, and gives fine control through plugin config.

ML-based video upscaling and frame interpolation using Real-ESRGAN, Real-CUGAN, RIFE and other models to upscale old low-res video or raise frame rates; video2x handles one video per run and is scriptable. Needs a Vulkan GPU; Windows, Linux and Docker builds, no native macOS.

Command-line tool for bulk-downloading galleries and posts from many image hosts and social platforms, with flexible file naming and config, and yt-dlp integration for video. Main development has moved to Codeberg; the GitHub repo stays in sync.

All-in-one video translation and dubbing: chains speech recognition, subtitle translation, multi-speaker AI voiceover and audio-video muxing, with local or online models like Faster-Whisper, DeepSeek and Edge-TTS. cli.py supports headless batch runs. Needs FFmpeg.

Veteran image processing CLI suite that converts, resizes, crops, composites and batch-processes JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PDF and many more formats, handy for agents handling images in scripts.

Automattic's offline English grammar checker: checks spelling, grammar and word choice locally in milliseconds without sending your text anywhere. Homebrew installs harper-cli for batch-checking files (still experimental) and harper-ls for editors. English only.

CLI version of the VideoCaptioner subtitle assistant: transcribes courses, lectures and interviews, uses an LLM to segment, proofread and translate, then burns subtitles into the video. Free ASR and Bing translation work out of the box; LLM refinement needs an API key. Python 3.10 to 3.12.

Open-source grammar, spelling and style checker for 20+ languages including English, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese. Proofread drafts in bulk from the CLI or run a local HTTP checking server for agents. For writers, translators and language teachers. Needs Java 17 (Homebrew includes it).

Fast, memory-efficient image processing library with a vips CLI for batch resizing, cropping, rotating, format conversion (WebP, AVIF, HEIC, TIFF and more) and thumbnails, handling very large images smoothly. Good for design and media teams processing assets in bulk. Install with Homebrew on macOS.

Batch-translates text in manga, posters and screenshots with one command: detects text, runs OCR, erases the original and typesets the translation back into the image. Japanese-focused, with 20+ languages supported. Install from source (Python 3.10+); offline models, DeepL or LLM APIs.

Writing agent for novels, scripts, interactive fiction and long-form translation, with CLI, TUI and web workspace. Tracks worldbuilding, characters and foreshadowing, reviews and revises drafts, and works as a skill for other agents. Needs Node.js 22.16+ and a model API key such as Kimi or DeepSeek.

Open-source Simplified/Traditional Chinese converter: deterministic dictionary-based conversion (no LLM) covering variant characters and regional vocabulary for mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, with limited Japanese kanji support. Runs offline; CLI plus Node.js and Python APIs.

Uses LLMs to translate EPUB, TXT, Markdown, SRT, PDF and other files into side-by-side bilingual editions, via OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and other APIs or DeepL and Google Translate. LLM APIs need your own key or a Codex subscription. Only translate content you have rights to.

PDF translation CLI for research papers that preserves formulas and layout as much as possible, producing bilingual side-by-side or translation-only PDFs. Needs an OpenAI-compatible API (local Ollama works too); currently focused on English to Chinese.

Extracts subtitles burned into videos to SRT or TXT, with all OCR done locally in 87 languages. Mainly a GUI (with batch mode); the CLI backend/main.py reads the video path and subtitle area from stdin. Needs Python 3.12+ and PaddlePaddle; paths cannot contain spaces or Chinese characters.

Removes backgrounds from images and videos with one AI command: batch whole folders, use a portrait model, refine edges or swap in a solid color, and output transparent MOV or composite video onto a new background. Runs locally; install PyTorch and ffmpeg first. Models download on first run.

Open-source font editor: fontforge -script runs Python scripts headlessly to batch-edit glyphs, convert between OTF, TTF, UFO and other formats, and generate fonts, for type design and font processing. Homebrew installs the CLI version; install the desktop app for the GUI.

Automatically aligns subtitle timing to a video's audio track, fixing translated subtitles that drift out of sync, or syncs against an already aligned subtitle file. Runs locally with no account; install Python and FFmpeg first.

Diffusion model inference in pure C/C++: one sd-cli command runs SD, FLUX, Qwen Image, Wan and more locally to create or edit images and short videos, with Metal acceleration on Mac. No cloud needed; bring your own model weights and use a release binary or build from source.

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.
