v0.0.19.1

0c1f1f9

Graphic Runner v0.0.19.1 Java Beta

This anti-aliasing maintenance release keeps the public v0.0.19 feature set
while making the working canvas much more closely match the final print export.
It does not include the private v0.0.20 AI object-selector work.

Preview and image-quality improvements

Ultra / Print True renders through the 400% / 4000 px print path and
downsamples the result for display.
Image placement and scaling preserve fractional coordinates instead of
rounding before sampling.
Image, mask, layer-transform, preview, and export scaling use bicubic
interpolation with high-quality alpha and color interpolation.
Text, vectors, strokes, and transformed artwork use consistent anti-aliasing
and fractional metrics.
A regression test protects diagonal image edges from hard nearest-neighbor
stair steps.

Ultra / Print True uses more memory and render time than Standard or High.
During direct manipulation Graphic Runner may use a faster temporary preview;
the Print True result appears after the edit settles.

Downloads

GraphicRunner-0.0.19.1-Windows-Portable.zip — Windows 10/11 portable build.
graphicrunner_0.0.19.1_amd64.deb — native Ubuntu/Debian x64 package.
GraphicRunner-Linux-x64-0.0.19.1.tar.gz — portable native Linux x64 bundle.

Every package includes Java and the offline Real-ESRGAN upscaling components.
The Windows package is portable because local Microsoft WiX installer
validation could not complete cleanly for this maintenance build. Extract the
ZIP and run GraphicRunner\GraphicRunner.exe. The unsigned executable may
trigger Windows SmartScreen; verify the checksum and do not disable Defender or
SmartScreen.

Graphic Runner v0.0.19 Java Beta

RunnerLabs released this 02 Aug 00:44

v0.0.19

4104e75

Graphic Runner v0.0.19 Java Beta

This Windows and native Linux release sharpens Graphic Runner's everyday editing workflow while
keeping the application offline, source-private, and free to use under its
bundled license.

Preview and finishing

Choose Standard, High, or Ultra canvas-preview quality in Settings.
Camera Raw adds sharpen, clarity, brightness, tone controls, color grading,
luminance denoise, and color denoise for final export adjustments.
The transparent alpha canvas is now borderless and easier to inspect.
A universal black-and-white filter is available across artwork modes.

Layout and canvas workflow

Align layers horizontally or vertically.
Rotate artwork in 90-degree steps and flip it horizontally or vertically.
Create, show, hide, select, and delete optional layout artboards without
adding them to the final export.
Layout controls now live in their own dock panel.
Drag image files onto the canvas or paste copied image pixels with Ctrl+V.

Editing improvements

Paint strokes preview smoothly without repeatedly multiplying their opacity.
Press B to activate the paint brush.
New blank layers are inserted beneath existing artwork for a clearer stack.
Long operations display the delayed ember hourglass and lock editing once the
loading overlay appears, preventing changes in the middle of AI processing.
The splash screen links to the installed README and support page.

Windows downloads

GraphicRunnerInstallBeta.exe — recommended installer.
GraphicRunnerInstallBeta.msi — alternate MSI for managed installation.

Java and the offline Real-ESRGAN models are bundled. The installers remain
unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may show an unknown-publisher warning. Verify
the checksum, choose More info, confirm the application name, and then
select Run anyway. Do not disable Microsoft Defender or SmartScreen.

Linux downloads

graphicrunner_0.0.19_amd64.deb — native Ubuntu/Debian x64 package.
GraphicRunner-Linux-x64-0.0.19.tar.gz — portable native Linux x64 bundle.

Both Linux packages include Java and the offline Real-ESRGAN models. The DEB
declares libvulkan1; portable users need libvulkan1 and a current
Vulkan-capable graphics driver for AI upscale. Wine and Bottles are not needed.

Graphic Runner v0.0.18 Java Beta Pre-release

Pre-release

RunnerLabs released this 30 Jul 04:10

v0.0.18

4ddc063

Graphic Runner v0.0.18 Java Beta

This release replaces the old interpolation-only upscale with genuine offline
AI enhancement while keeping Graphic Runner fast, local, and source-private.
The public repository and release contain compiled downloads and user
documentation, not application source code.

New: offline AI upscale

Photo / General uses the Real-ESRGAN x4plus model for photographs and
mixed artwork.
Art / Logo uses the illustration-focused x4plus-anime model for cleaner
drawn edges and graphic artwork.
Both modes offer 2x, 3x, and 4x output. The model runs at its trained 4x
scale and Graphic Runner cleanly reduces the complete result when 2x or 3x
is requested.
Images are processed locally through Vulkan. Nothing is uploaded and no
backend account is required.
Classic: Fast remains available as the compatibility fallback when the
graphics driver cannot run the AI engine.
AI jobs use bounded 256-pixel tiles, a 64-megapixel working limit, delayed
loading feedback, and leave the original layer unchanged if inference fails.

The bundled Real-ESRGAN models and ncnn Vulkan runner are distributed under
their upstream licenses. Full attribution and license text are included in
THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt inside every package.

Windows

Use GraphicRunnerInstallBeta.exe (recommended) or
GraphicRunnerInstallBeta.msi. Java and both offline AI models are included.

The packages are not digitally signed yet. SmartScreen may show Windows
protected your PC. Verify the checksum, choose More info, confirm the
application name, and select Run anyway. Do not disable Microsoft Defender
or SmartScreen.

Native Linux

graphicrunner_0.0.18-1_amd64.deb is the native Ubuntu/Debian x64 package.
GraphicRunner-Linux-x64-0.0.18.tar.gz is the portable native x64 bundle.

Both include Java and the Linux AI engine/models. The DEB declares
libvulkan1; portable users need that standard Vulkan runtime and a current
Vulkan-capable Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA driver.

Install the .deb with:

sudo apt install ./graphicrunner_0.0.18-1_amd64.deb

Or unpack and run the portable build:

tar -xzf GraphicRunner-Linux-x64-0.0.18.tar.gz
./GraphicRunner/bin/GraphicRunner

RunnerLabs released this 29 Jul 04:16

v0.0.17-java-beta

77cfe49

Graphic Runner v0.0.17 Java Beta

This release expands the fast Java desktop build and adds the first native
Linux packages. The application remains proprietary freeware: this public
repository and its release contain compiled downloads and user documentation,
not application source code.

Highlights

Undo and Redo keep the active layer, valid vector/Type Lab selection,
editing tool, and canvas selection.
Long layer stacks keep their scroll position when selecting a layer.
Merge All flattens visible design layers at full canvas resolution or
combines visible Logo Vector paths into one editable vector layer.
Text, Image, Symbols, and Type Lab share a persistent design canvas.
Logo Vector remains a separate path-only workspace with editable SVG export.
Image mode includes stretchable solid planes.
Export includes Camera Raw-style sharpening, clarity, tonal, brightness,
contrast, saturation, temperature, and tint finishing controls.

Windows

Use GraphicRunnerInstallBeta.exe (recommended) or
GraphicRunnerInstallBeta.msi. The Java runtime is included.

The Windows packages are not digitally signed yet. SmartScreen may show
Windows protected your PC. Verify the checksum, choose More info,
confirm the application name, and select Run anyway. Do not disable
Microsoft Defender or SmartScreen.

Native Linux

graphicrunner_0.0.17-1_amd64.deb is the native Ubuntu/Debian x64 package.
GraphicRunner-Linux-x64-0.0.17.tar.gz is the portable native x64 bundle.

Both include their own Java runtime and were built and tested on an Ubuntu
22.04 baseline. Wine and Bottles are no longer required.

Install the .deb with:

sudo apt install ./graphicrunner_0.0.17-1_amd64.deb

Or unpack and run the portable build:

tar -xzf GraphicRunner-Linux-x64-0.0.17.tar.gz
./GraphicRunner/bin/GraphicRunner

Graphic Runner v0.0.14 Java Beta

RunnerLabs released this 28 Jul 21:09

v0.0.14-java-beta

b2a5ddd

Graphic Runner v0.0.14 Java Beta

This release returns Graphic Runner's public beta to the faster Java desktop build and publishes source-free installers for Windows. Linux users can run the same installer through the tested Wine + Bottles compatibility route.

Highlights

Paint and Smudge are available in Text, Image, Logo Vector, Symbols, and Type Lab.
Smudge can pull visible pixels beyond an image or artwork boundary into transparent canvas space.
Per-layer canvas paint survives undo, layer copy/paste, and export.
Ember-only navigation tabs remove the old pale system-selection frame.
Layer masks, blend modes, image import/upscale, vector manipulation, Type Lab, dithering, CRT controls, rulers, guides, and PNG/JPEG/SVG/GIF/TIFF export remain included.
The official release link embedded in the app and installer documentation now points to RunnerLabs.

Windows

Download GraphicRunnerInstallBeta.exe (recommended) or GraphicRunnerInstallBeta.msi. The packaged runtime is included; users do not need to install Java.

The installers are not digitally signed yet. Windows may show Windows protected your PC. Verify the checksum, select More info, confirm the application name, and then select Run anyway. Do not disable Microsoft Defender or SmartScreen.

Linux

This release does not contain a native Linux binary. It has been tested by installing the Windows EXE through Wine and Bottles:

Create an Application bottle.
Choose Run Executable and select GraphicRunnerInstallBeta.exe.
Complete installation and launch Graphic Runner inside that bottle.

Plain Wine users can run wine GraphicRunnerInstallBeta.exe.

Graphic Runner v0.3.0 Public Beta

RunnerLabs released this 26 Jul 22:36

v0.3.0-beta

0de3790

Graphic Runner v0.3.0 Public Beta

This release turns Type Lab into a dedicated custom-typeface workspace while keeping the application source private.

Type Lab

Build a reusable font sheet one character at a time.
Add or remove characters and reopen any saved letter for revision.
Place a per-letter PNG, JPEG, or WebP reference, including a photograph of hand-drawn lettering.
Trace the reference with a pen tool and edit individual nodes.
Create multiple contours for counters and holes in letters such as A, B, O, and P.
Close paths, undo nodes, clear outlines, and adjust each character's advance width.
Preview words using the completed custom glyphs.
Save and reopen font-sheet glyphs, contours, reference images, and settings in Graphic Runner projects.

Type Lab is now separate from normal Text mode. Text remains the place for installed fonts and ordinary typography; Type Lab is for constructing original vector letterforms.

Application source code is private and is not included in this repository or the downloadable packages.

Each archive includes README_FIRST.txt, a plain-language acceptable-use and beta notice, LICENSE.txt, the complete EULA v2.2 presented for acceptance on first launch, and THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt. The acceptance screen displays both the use notice and full EULA, and requires users to acknowledge and agree to both.

EULA v2.2 clarifies user responsibility for content and output, rights required when tracing or reproducing references, and the prohibition against redistributing, selling, rebranding, relabeling, hosting, or passing off Graphic Runner as another person's product. Sharing the official release link remains allowed.
