Kokon is a free, open-source photo editor that runs on your computer using the Qwen-Image 2.1 model. You brush an area of a photo, describe the change you want (edit, remove, replace, or add), and the model applies it only to that region. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux with a single installer that configures itself for your GPU hardware.
Designed for people who want to edit photos without uploading them to cloud services or hitting daily limits. Works offline with NVIDIA, AMD, Intel Arc, and Apple Silicon GPUs (12GB VRAM minimum). Built with Claude Code, the tool emphasizes a simple interface over technical controls like nodes or samplers.
