FROM FIRST IDEA TO FINAL DETAIL
One creative workspace.
Keep the image, its layers and the next idea together. Add local AI when it fits your work.
Generate locally.
Choose image models in the Model Hub, including Z-Image Turbo and FLUX.2 Klein 4B. The AI engine is included. Download a model, then create on your Mac.
Make it move.
Local video generation is part of FairPhoto. Choose a supported video model, generate a clip, and review it in the video workspace. Video models can require substantial memory and processing time.

FairPhoto includes its AI engine; models download separately. The included AI engine requires Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later; MLX models require macOS 26.2 or later. Features, speed, memory and storage needs depend on the model, which has its own license. PSD/PSB compatibility exports can bake or flatten content; retain a native .fphoto master for continued editing.
Comparison scope & sources
Checked October 6, 2026. Each column describes one paid desktop image product, not every image editor. The subscription column includes its companion web generation tools where noted; availability and allowances depend on the selected plan. Both apps support offline desktop editing; the reference subscription requires periodic online license checks.
PRIVACY BY CHOICE
Your canvas.
Your compute.
Local image and video models run on your Mac after their required components are downloaded. Optional cloud services are a separate choice; content used with a cloud provider is sent to that provider.
PSD and PSB import and export help you move work between tools. Complex effects and some document features may not round-trip exactly. Keep a native .fphoto master for continued editing.
Memory, storage and speed vary by model, resolution and clip length. Individual models have their own licenses and usage terms; a FairPhoto purchase does not change those terms.
