## What it is
PixivBiu is a self-hosted Pixiv client written in Go that provides a browser-based interface for searching, filtering, browsing, and downloading Pixiv artworks, including single images, multi-image posts, and ugoira animations. It runs as a local web server (or via Docker) on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

## Use cases
- download pixiv illustrations in original quality
- browse and search pixiv artworks with filters
- bulk download pixiv images by tags or bookmarks
- convert pixiv ugoira animations to gif or webp
- self-hosted pixiv client with docker
- filter pixiv artworks by bookmarks views and tags

## When to choose
- you want a full-featured pixiv browsing and downloading tool with a web UI
- you need cross-platform binaries or a Docker deployment
- you want fine-grained filtering by favorites, views, tags, and artwork type

## When to avoid
- you need a mobile app or native desktop GUI rather than a browser interface
- you want commercial or redistribution use of downloaded works, which the license disclaims
- you need a general-purpose image scraper beyond Pixiv
