Description

Kokon is a free, open-source photo editor for Windows, macOS and Linux that runs the Qwen-Image 2.1 model entirely on your own computer. You describe the change in plain language, such as removing people from a beach or shifting a scene to golden hour, and Kokon chooses the editing mode, resolution and memory settings for you, so there are no nodes, samplers or sliders to learn.

You can also paint over a region so that only that area changes (change, remove, replace or add) while every pixel outside the brush stays untouched. Each edit is saved as a new version, so you can compare before and after, undo, or branch from any step. Fast, Balanced and Quality presets cover the speed trade-off, Prompt+ expands a few words in any language into a detailed prompt, and custom LoRAs are supported. A private mode keeps no gallery, files or history at all.

The installer is a small native app of roughly 55 MB, with no Python or ComfyUI setup; about 12 GB of models download and are verified on first run. Plan on a GPU with 12 GB of VRAM (NVIDIA, with AMD and Intel Arc in beta) or an Apple Silicon Mac, where 32 GB of unified memory is recommended and support is still beta. A built-in MCP server and local HTTP API let Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP clients generate, edit, inpaint, outpaint and upscale images on your machine for free and offline. Released under AGPL-3.0.
