THE PROBLEM

Print shops and signage companies constantly get small, low-resolution photos and logos from customers that have to be printed on banners, vinyl and billboards. Manual upscaling and redrawing takes hours, and cloud AI tools charge per image and send customers' files outside the company.

WHAT WE BUILT
  1. 01

    AI upscaling and clean-up

    Real-ESRGAN for upscaling and LaMa for removing logos and text - running on the user's graphics card, no fee per image.

  2. 02

    A print-ready file

    A PDF at exact centimetres, DPI and CMYK - in one flow, without Photoshop.

  3. 03

    Sales and licensing on autopilot

    A website with accounts, payment, automatic licence issuing, a 7-day trial, device management and offline use for up to 30 days.

  4. 04

    Connected to AI agents

    An MCP server: Claude and other AI agents can prepare print files through the software. The site has llms.txt so AI assistants understand it.

THE RESULT
  • Live on Windows and macOS with the full flow: sign-up → payment → licence → activation
  • Zero cloud AI cost per image - everything is computed locally
  • Customers' files never leave the computer
