ImageLabs – Offline AI Photo Editor for Windows

Open an image, apply one task at a time, save the result. ImageLabs is a focused editor for Windows powered by a library of nine on-device AI models — remove or replace backgrounds, click to select any object, upscale 4×, colorize old photos, and paint out scratches — alongside the everyday tasks: crop, resize, rotate, adjust, watermark, redact, OCR and batch. Every model runs entirely on your machine — no account, no cloud, nothing leaves your PC.

Nine AI models — all on your device

ImageLabs turns your PC into an offline AI darkroom. Five background removers (fast to sharpest-edge), click-to-select any object, 4× super-resolution, one-click colorization of black-and-white photos, and paint-to-fill scratch repair — every model runs locally with GPU acceleration and automatic CPU fallback, is open-source, and is integrity-verified before it's ever used. One tiny model is bundled so the app works out of the box; the rest download on demand.

Features

🪄 AI Background Removal — 5 models

Automatic subject cut-out with five open-source models — from a fast bundled one to sharpest-edge and a people-tuned option. Remove, blur (portrait/bokeh), color pop, or replace the background with another photo. Add a sticker outline, drop shadow, or trim to subject.

🎯 Click-to-Select Any Object

Point at the exact thing you want and let the AI trace its true silhouette. Powers Pick object in Background, Crop → Select object, and object-shaped blur / mosaic — no more rough rectangles.

🔍 AI 4× Upscaling

Enlarge small images, logos and old photos with AI super-resolution — noticeably sharper than a plain resize. Runs tiled and seam-free, keeps transparency, and fits your exact target size.

🎨 Colorize & Repair Old Photos

Colorize adds natural color to black-and-white or faded photos in one click. Repair / Scratch lets you paint over scratches, tears and blemishes, then fills them in — only the painted areas change.

🔗 Chainable Edits, History & Batch

Each Apply stacks onto the last (crop → remove background → resize), with Undo / Redo and a visible History. Batch replays that whole chain — AI steps included — across a folder of images.

✂️ Crop, Resize, Adjust & Watermark

Interactive crop with corner handles and a live pixel readout, resize with keep-aspect and don't-enlarge, brightness / contrast / grayscale / sepia / blur / sharpen with Auto enhance, and a text watermark that can auto-avoid the subject.

🛡️ Redact, OCR & Metadata

Blur / Mosaic hides faces, plates and addresses (rectangle or exact object shape). Extract Text (OCR) reads text offline with a language picker. View and strip EXIF metadata on save.

💾 Any Format, Fast Workflow & 100% Local

Save to PNG, JPEG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, GIF and multi-size ICO. Paste from the clipboard (Ctrl+V), keyboard shortcuts, hold-to-compare, split Save, light / dark theme — and every AI feature, including OCR, runs on your computer. Nothing leaves your PC.

System Requirements: Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit). Self-contained — no prerequisites to install. One small AI model is bundled; the others (background, upscale, colorize and repair models) download on demand the first time you use them, are integrity-verified, and then run fully offline.
