Native 60 FPS GPU-accelerated canvas, 1:1 PSD & PSB format fidelity, zero telemetry, and an open Agentic MCP automation protocol. No subscriptions. No cloud tether.
Engine Architecture
No Electron, no Chromium overhead, and no web wrappers. Built from the metal up in Rust on egui and wgpu, offering instant startup and smooth 60 FPS viewport manipulation.
Open, edit, and save complex layered Adobe Photoshop files without flattening. Full support for adjustment layers, smart objects, clipping masks, vector shapes, and ICC color management.
Strictly offline-first. HypArt contains zero telemetry, zero analytics tracking, and zero cloud uploads. Your artwork, proprietary assets, and client documents never leave your local disk.
HypArt is built for the agentic age. Drive every menu action, filter, transformation, and layer operation via JSON-RPC or the integrated Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
No registry pollution or invasive installers required. Drop a portable.txt file in the application directory to run HypArt completely self-contained from a USB drive.
Curves, Levels, Exposure, Vibrance, Selective Color, and ISO 32000 compliant 27 Photoshop blend modes calculated at full 32-bit floating point precision.

Developer & AI Agent Ready
HypArt is the first image editor built natively for the Agentic Era. Connect Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, or your local LLM directly through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server or standard JSON socket to generate, manipulate, and export artwork autonomously.
