Which download do I want?

PixlStash ships as a desktop app — a window around a local server, with
everything bundled and nothing to set up afterwards. Pick the file for your
platform:

File Platform Size Notes
PixlStash-desktop-*-win-x64.exe Windows ~400 MB Installer. Digitally signed — Windows shows Open Source Developer Gaute Lindkvist as the publisher
PixlStash-desktop-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage Linux ~690 MB Portable — chmod +x and run, nothing to install
PixlStash-desktop-*-linux-amd64.deb Debian / Ubuntu ~500 MB sudo apt install ./PixlStash-desktop-*.deb
PixlStash-desktop-*-mac-arm64.dmg macOS (Apple Silicon) ~430 MB Signed and notarised

They are large because each one bundles its own Python runtime and the AI
stack — that is the whole point: download, install, done.

Running it headless instead

Prefer PixlStash as a service on a machine you reach from elsewhere? Windows
gets a dedicated server installer, because setting a Python service up by hand
is awkward there:

File Platform Size Notes
pixlstash-server-*-windows-x64.exe Windows ~9 MB Needs Python 3.11+; installs into a managed virtualenv. Digitally signed

On Linux and macOS, where that is already easy, there is no separate
download — use whichever fits your setup:

  • Docker: docker pull ghcr.io/pikselkroken/pixlstash (CPU) or
    …:X.Y.Z-gpu (NVIDIA CUDA)
  • PyPI: pip install pixlstash, then run pixlstash

Other install options

  • PyPI + a native window: pip install pixlstash[desktop], then run
    pixlstash-desktop — opens the server in the OS's native webview, no Electron
    download. On Linux use pixlstash[desktop-qt] for a pip-only backend, or
    install system WebKitGTK.

About the Windows warning: the installers are Authenticode-signed, so
Windows names the publisher instead of saying "Unknown publisher". SmartScreen
may still interrupt for a while — that reputation builds as more people
download the signed installers. If a release carries …-unsigned.exe files,
signing was unavailable for that build: they still work, but Windows cannot
tell you who made them.
