## What it is
HiPixel is a native macOS app for AI-powered image super-resolution, built with SwiftUI and using Upscayl's AI models. It offers batch upscaling, folder monitoring, custom ncnn models, and GPU acceleration.

## Use cases
- upscale blurry low-resolution images to high definition
- batch upscale hundreds of photos at once
- enhance anime and digital art illustrations
- automatically upscale images added to a watched folder
- restore detail in old photos with AI
- automate image upscaling via Apple Shortcuts

## When to choose
- you want a free, native macOS GUI for AI image upscaling
- you need batch processing or folder monitoring for upscaling
- you want to use Upscayl or custom ncnn models without the command line
- you need EXIF preservation and GPU-accelerated upscaling on Mac

## When to avoid
- you need upscaling on Windows or Linux
- you want a CLI-only or scriptable server-side upscaling pipeline
- you need image editing beyond super-resolution
