PixClip is a free, open-source desktop image and video editor built with Python and PySide6 (Qt6). It focuses on professional-grade clarity and sharpness: a bilateral-filter Clarity control boosts local contrast without halo artifacts, and an Edge Sharpness tool uses noise-thresholded unsharp masking so grain isn't amplified. Adjustments run in 32-bit floating point and LAB color space to avoid banding and keep natural hues.
For video, PixClip applies clarity, sharpness, color adjustments, and 3D LUT (.cube) filters directly to video files, translating parameters into native FFmpeg filtergraphs for 10-50x faster, hardware-accelerated exports versus frame-by-frame processing.
Includes 30+ built-in presets across 9 creative families (Vivid, Film, Cinematic, Warm, Moody, and more), real-time downscaled previews, and a configurable sidebar thumbnail grid (1-3 columns). Dark and Light themes included.
Requires Python 3.9+ and FFmpeg. MIT licensed.
