CRISPEN FOR MAC

Release notes

Version 1.0.1 · Pro launch build

Included

Offline Photo and Illustration AI models, 2×/4×/8×/16× enlargement, batch image and folder import, PNG/JPEG/WebP/HEIC/TIFF export, lossless WebP, before/after comparison, keyboard controls, quick presets, and optional signed software updates.

Installation

Once the download is available, unzip it, move Crispen.app into Applications, and open it. The AI models are bundled; no separate model download or Python installation is required.

Known limits

Animated inputs use the first frame. JPEG flattens transparency onto white. AI can alter detail and text; inspect output before publishing. WebP is limited to 16,383 pixels per side, and processing is capped at 300 megapixels including intermediate passes. Preview images are bounded to control memory use.

Crispen Pro

A paid Pro subscription is required to process images. Import and preview are available before subscribing. Activate up to two Macs with the Pro key shown after Stripe checkout. Activation and periodic verification need internet; signed Pro access works offline for up to 72 hours. Manage or cancel the subscription from Settings → Pro.

Cloud Studio

Generate or edit images with Grok Imagine 2.0. Pro includes 100 weighted cloud credits per paid monthly period: one for standard 1K, two for premium or 2K. No automatic overages. Optionally store your own xAI key in Keychain for direct provider billing. OpenAI GPT Image and Gemini Nano Banana remain unavailable until connected and tested.

New look

A deep teal workspace, aqua buttons, mint accents, condensed headings, and Crispen’s sculpted enlarger and glass lock artwork bring the brand from the website into the Mac app.
